The Paring

Château L'Escadre

Grande Réserve Blaye Merlot Blend 2016

Smooth and delicious. Tried paring with aged gouda although a creamier cheese would be a better fit.

2016 vintage

Certainly worth a repeat. Costco for $9.49

Santa Ynez Valley Red Blend 2015

Bordeaux Blend from the same team that offers Jonata Wines. Dark purple color. Aromas of black currant and blackberry along with pencil shavings, dried herbs and a hint of violets. Earthy tobacco and black fruit flavors with a hint of cola. Luscious with big chewy tannins and long earthy finish. Bold, but this wine still has some finesse. Needs a decant. — 4 years ago

Les Villots Sancerre Pinot Noir Rosé 2014

Love it. Very light,dry. Perfect paring for summer salads. Not fruity. — 7 years ago

La Colombina

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2011

Leather, figs, pineapple and peppercorn on the nose with (maybe because it's the Italian I was eating) a lingering scent of roasted tomatoes. Soft on the palate - good fruit but unobtrusive to food flavour. Perfect paring with pasta (sans red meat) and seafood. Delicious! — 7 years ago

Years after meeting the Jonata guys, I'm still loving their wines. This one was entirely different the next day. It became a wine I love. — 7 years ago

Domaine de Saint Pierre

Château Renard Arbois Chardonnay Savagnin 2016

Brought home from Paris back in December. Quite stinky and reductive upon opening - let this bottle breath for a while. I decanted and threw it in the fridge for an hour or so and it came out singing. Chenin-like in its ripping acidity and wooly apple/pear thing, the palate is more elegant than the nose. It was a great paring for a heavily seasoned lean wild salmon fillet. — 4 years ago

Always a wonderful wine! And paring it with baked Alaska enhances it's flavors, delicious! — 7 years ago

Domaine Wardy

Domaine Wardy Chateau Les Cedres Red Blend 2012

I'm rating it highly given it's exceptional paring with Lebanese cuisine especially sfeehas and other mezze. By itself still excellent for the price (if you can find it) but reaches the next level with the right food. — 7 years ago
