The Lodge Hill Clare Valley Dry Riesling 2017

The acidity is like a punch in the face - in a good way! Very dry with a bit of sunny currant. — 7 years ago

Toscano Vermentino Nero 2014

Superb oddball grown along the northernmost reaches of the Tuscan coast. Opens with bright acidity like wild raspberries & bing cherries, but as this Vermentino Nero catches air, plums, a kiss of figs, and savory herbs emerge with very fine & mellow tannins. Worth hunting down! — 8 years ago

Domaine du Collier

Saumur Blanc Chenin Blanc 2012

I can always count on Saumur to pull through. This one is pretty standard for the terroir. Can't complain but I'm hunting for deeper nuance! — 9 years ago

Blandy's

Madeira Bual 1920

Delectable is a shit app and won't let me out in my photo. Extraordinary intensity. Bottled in 2006. Opened in July drunk in December at blandy a lodge less sweet than most buals. Thrilling acidity. Smoothness. 21 abv. Salinity about 50 euros a glass 700 a bottle. The joy of drinking something by the glass. Sharp and coating. Almost has the complexity of great vinegar. Notes of concord grape — 9 years ago

My in-laws frequent Cabo often and claim that they’ve found some impressive wines from Mexico/Baja region. They enjoy fine wine, so I trusted their opinion and went hunting. This winery is supposedly one of the top wineries in Mexico, and I was able to find the last 3 bottles (at the time) in the US as the winery was sold out. We had dinner with them at my wife and I’s favorite spot in Fort Worth and I surprised them with this wine.

Pours dark and inky. Aromatically, this was a circus bash of red, blue and black fruit. There was also some black peppercorn and cedar. The front and mid-palate were dense...oak wasn’t dominant, just an absolute rush of fresh squeezed fruit. Finish was spice driven. Blind, I would have likely called this a zin/petite sirah blend (but structure kept this from being an overblown, hot, flabby Napa style zin). Very unique and enjoyable. Bravo Mexico/Baja!

Whitcraft Winery

It could sit a bit longer but ever last sip was enjoyed. A dirty Pinot noir that has great earthy tones, muddy some may say with a short finish. My last bottle, will be hunting out more. — 8 years ago

Girard Winery

Artistry Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2014

1/2 price at happy hour at Great Wolf Lodge. WHAT? Less than retail. Too young but time in the decanter (plastic cups) brought out finesse, balance and a great long finish. — 8 years ago

Fabulous wine. Golden color with classic chenin aromas; quince, lemon oil, honey and butterscotch... found this on the list at Bernardus lodge for $60... siting down outside at the lodge with this at my table for $60 is ridiculous... good work michael Marcy — 8 years ago

Domaine Jean Deydier et Fils

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2012

That is my hunting wine. I have several different years stashed away with little matter of tasting nuances. It's our tradition of harvesting game, the careful processing of it - and the first consumption of a filet or backstrap — 8 years ago

Gordon's Spanish tasting 9/21/16. Floral nose that's hunting at stones. Palate that's balanced and on the elegant side. Medium finish off red fruits. A bit like Burg. — 9 years ago
