The Dip

Tenuta Angoris

Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC Schioppettino

Sometimes you dip your toes in the water and buy a bottle only later to regret not belly flopping and buying a case. Drinkable with and without food. For everyday or fine occasion. — 9 years ago

Pisoni Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir 2005

Marc Stubblefield
9.0

Elegance with power, and a deft hand with Pisoni fruit which can sometimes be a bit much for me. This bottle had a little dip in the mid palate where a bottle 4 months ago was more seamless. I suppose a little bottle variation is ok at 11 years old. — 9 years ago

Ram's Gate Winery

Ram's Gate Vineyard Brut Sparkling Rose 2010

Known for their still Chardonnay and Pinot Noir I much prefer their sparkling. This is really good and not excessively priced like some of the other domestic Burgundian wineries that dip their toes into making a sparkling wine. — 10 years ago

Léal Vineyards

Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Smelled like a blueberry filled swimming pool complete with chlorine initially, but after an hour of splashing around, notes of mint, black currant, licorice and cedar emerged. Black currant continued through the palate, with a blueberry-grape bubblegum dip-n-stix flavor amidst a toasty oak and tobacco with cinnamon. Basically a hearty but smooth, round-tannin romp in the concrete pond! Put on your purple polka dot monokini, because this sultry little vixen is right out of a Russ Meyer's flick, and she can still beat you to death with her ample fruits! You know you want it! — 11 years ago

Domaine Des Vignes du Maynes (Julien Guillot)

Cuvée 910 Clos des Vignes du Maynes Mâcon-Cruzille Pinot Noir 2012

2012, Clos des Vignes du Maynes. Cuvee 910 Macon-Cruzille Pinot Noir/Gamay/Chardonnay Field Blend. A favorite wine from a favorite producer. The Chardonnay really changes the whole palate. It softens the tart red fruit with a little green apple and citrus notes. Paired this with New Orleans boiled shrimp and a Siracha catsup dip. Yeah! — 10 years ago

Epoch Estate Wines

Ingenuity Red Rhone Blend 2013

Great sauce to help with Thanksgiving at the in laws 😃. Still too young but I couldn't wait to dip into my allocation. Berries on the nose and on the palate with a little sweetness. Would be great with a thick pork chop. Updated rating the next day - had a third of a bottle leftover - finished 24 hours later - was a fair bit better the next day so I can believe a few hours in a decanter would improve it. Blackberry, plum & raspberry on the nose, ripe plum taste. — 9 years ago

If you have the patience, give the next one 4-6 h in a decanter before drinking. The 2013 Ingenuity is one of Epoch's best wines ever and can be ready to go now with a few hours of air time. Fantastic stuff.

Les Cadrans de Lassegue

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

Time in the bottle deserves an aerated skinny-dip slow-pour dive into the decanter where this sun-tinged beauty in hiding lounges in wait, but for an occasional spin and swirl, as the soft sensual breezes (in Kailua) share the air opening her gradually as she swims her way towards the edge for an elegant dive into my glass, another swirl as her darker exterior opens a bit further glistening as her erotic scent encourages my pulling her towards my mouth where, as I breath her in, she backbends and her silky wetness gingerly but openly touches my lips. I am both bewitched and enchanted by her unctuous complexity, so, I take a small bite and we continue the dance...
to be continued - "spill the wine, dig that girl..." - lots of spice, red fruit, vanilla and wet earth🍷🕶🌀

Crisp and nice blend of pear and green apple that goes beautifully with hot humid Virginia summer. Don't judge but it is amazing with chips and queso blanco dip... Proudly unrefined — 10 years ago
