The Gentleman's Match

Rocca di Montegrossi

Geremia Toscana Cabernet-Merlot Blend 2012

Very nice right bank style. Big fruit in the nose and tannins to match but surprising amount of acid and balance. Drink now or hold a few more years. — 9 years ago

Domaine Coche-Dury (J.F. Coche Dury)

Les Enseignères Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay 2011

A whiff of burnt match. A searing lemon and bracing structured mid palate. Real puligny minerality and slate. Fucking gorgeous — 10 years ago

Château Mongravey

Cru Bourgeois Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

What is it about these French reds? You can pick them out from a global mix: clear and a little dry. I'm sure if I knew the regions better, I could match them - they each seem to have a signature. — 10 years ago

Butterdragon Hill Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Loads of plum, mild spice, graphite....tannins are starting to integrate really well....a little grippy still but starting to even out to a nice dustiness. Drinks well now and should continue to get better. Great buy on sale at Whole Foods for under $40! — 10 years ago

Estate Vineyard Chardonnay 2012

Depth and intensity. Perfumed and a touch of struck match. Unreal. — 11 years ago

Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2012

Wow- nice young wine!! We had "spiced-rubbed" chicken thighs, grilled, and served atop a variety of vegi's. The piment d'espellette, cumin & ground fennel seed was perfectly reflected in this young wine! Mmm! Hope BK thought it as perfect a match as I did! Happy 4th to those who celebrate! xo KM — 9 years ago

Honeyed and unctuous. Cremebrulee with a nose to match (burnt sugar). Not the top tier D'Yquem, but quite satisfying — 10 years ago

This is a great wine. Enjoyed this vintage. His last.

Behrens & Hitchcock

Chien Lunatique Syrah 2000

We all need a little Lunatique in our lives. Forgot about those ⚛ synthetic purple corks on some of the older B&H though - the Rabbit was no match and had to pull out the heavy artillery to open. Slightly muted nose and a bit thin to start, but fleshed out into a decent Napa Syrah with air. — 9 years ago

I Favati

Pietrama Fiano di Avellino 2013

Displaying the richness of Fiano, with bay laurel and broad ripe apricot and nectarine flavors. Like good Chardonnay, still not sacrificing acidity or minerality, and not losing shape on the palate. Fantastic match for grilled lobster tail — 9 years ago

Château Rieussec

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1996

A glorious example of mature Sauternes- deep honeyed bouquet with pollen notes - these come through on the palate too, ply that classic burnt match undertow on a long finish. Like drinking nectar. — 10 years ago

Dönnhoff

Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl Kabinett Riesling 2012

Impeccable balance. So much energy. Enough sugar to match up with a fruit-based dessert but pristine minerality and citrusy acid to leave your palate completely refreshed. Ready to drink but will age gracefully and only get more complex. — 10 years ago

Vieilles Vignes Chablis Chardonnay 2012

Softer than expected, lemon/lime and yellow apple are subdued by a strong white mushroom and cheese rind funkiness. Complex and the perfect match for some triple cream. — 11 years ago

Bouzeron Aligoté 2008

Wow. Amazing Aligoté, not to be wasted on a Kir. Could pose as good chardonnay as well. And perfect match for the ceviche. — 12 years ago
