Prelude Vineyards Chardonnay 2014

A brilliant $30 Chardonnay- one of the best ever. The younger sibling of the famous Art Series. Stone fruit and grilled nuts. A delicious mouth filling Chardonnay. — 10 years ago

Klein Constantia

Vin de Constance Natural Sweet Muscat à Petits Grains 2006

It’s a lusciously sweet wine, as expected. You could say Vin de Constance is a Southern Hemisphere answer to the more famous dessert wines of Europe, and it really feels and tastes the part. It’s more exuberant and rich than, say, a Sauternes. I was struck by candied citrus peels and tropical fruits, with bright acidity and a thick, lush body. It lacks the complexity of a Sauternes, but you don’t miss it. The balanced, yet indulgent sweetness is plenty. #laterwine — 11 years ago

Rödelseer Küchenmeister trocken Riesling 2013

Famous for his Sylvaner but the Riesling is wonderful and distinctive. Rich and unctuous with minerality that balances it out and prevents it from brim overbearing. Lovely fruit. Just a great drink. — 11 years ago

Bernard Magrez

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

06' Barnard Magrez Cabernet. 83% CB 12% CF 5%PV. WOW... A rare bottle indeed. This was sourced from the famous Vineyard Thorevilos (Abreu). Aaron Pott was its winemaker in 2006.

A 2 hour + on the decanting. All the elegant black fruit you can imagine in this glass. A 30+ finish. It's certainly in the discussion of one of the finest 2006's I've had out of Napa. Drinking well now & has another 20+ great years in it.

Barnard Magrez is now sourcing there fruit from Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyards. If you didn't get enough Realm Dr. Crane 12/13's. Hell… just want to add another great wine! This certainly could be a viable option(wish list). Benoit Touquette is "NOW" the winemaker😉👍!!

I'm not saying the 12 & 13's are another Realm Dr. Crane. They're the same winemaker & sourcing🤔. Just a thought...

The Black Grouse Blended Scotch Whiskey

Quite peaty with smoky notes and some caramel. I added a couple drops of water and found that it opened up quite nicely. Great blend for the price point — 12 years ago
