Carneros Chardonnay 2014

My student brought a bottle to me as a gift. We opened and drank it during her painting lesson (yes, we are both of age). It was a delicious medley of "fruity-butter richness", crisp and fresh. What a great sipping wine on a snowy day. My student and I polished it off and she STILLL managed to do an amazing sea scape. — 9 years ago

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin

Yellow Label Brut Champagne Blend

Endless rosary of tiny bubbles, within a light golden straw color. Nice compromise on the nose between aromas of freshly made brioche and bread dough, and green apple, and citric acidity. The tangyness in this champagne es fenomenal. Great body to it, very harmonious and interesting composition. Great value for the price. Its acidity is really seductive and gracious. Very discreate orangy flavor on the ligering finish. 91 pts. — 11 years ago

Received as a Christmas gift - drank with our Christmas Dinner. When the bottle was first opened, it was a bit tight. After sitting open for a while, it opened up nicely. Was nicely balanced with covered tanins. Niice reasonably priced Napa cabernet. — 9 years ago

Jordan Vineyard & Winery

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

This beautiful 2005 cab was an anniversary gift from a great friend of mine @Jeff Savigny The vintage is the year we got married. The nose is so complex and yet so subdued, it practically blew my mind. A nose full of roses, tobacco, dark fruit and licorice with a hint of molasses and vanilla. On the palate very dry, with a faint aged acidity, yet very rich and delicious. You can spend just as much time smelling this as drinking it. This was a near perfect wine and a great anniversary present! — 10 years ago

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1960

Fabien Lainé
9.2

1960 was for kind of forgotten close to the nice 1959 and 1961 vintages - but the wine still handle well, with a light profile, a nice experience from a nice gift, maybe 60 was better for the Beatles !? However it feels kind of younger than 1960 at first sight, an off vintage in good shape but will get soon enough to its peak 😐 — 11 years ago
