Robert Mondavi Winery
Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Night six on the Allure of the Seas and wine number eight from the wine crate. This night we are at Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse.
Deep garnet red. Dark and layered nose with notes of cinnamon, spices, menthol, and a touch of damp leaves. Heavy tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Rich and powerful on the palate, drinking at its peak right now. Layers of cassis, black currants, some forest floor and herbal elements. Strong acidity too. Long finish. Drink till 2027. — 8 years ago
Tenute Girolamo
Conte Giangirolamo Rosso Puglia Primitivo Negroamaro
Easily the most elaborately packaged wine of recent memory. Wood crate, tissue paper, wax top (+additional seal), instruction booklet, paint dipped, heavy glass bottle. Whew. But this is serious pug loan wine. Excellent stuff! — 9 years ago

Monument Valley Distillers
Duke Alambic Pot Still Aged 24 Years Brandy
John Wayne's son, Ethan, teamed up with Jayson Woodbridge at Hundred Acre to crate this 80 proof homage to his 100 proof dad, who was a lover of great brandies and kept a stash of a few barrels on his boat, that has been sealed for 30 years. Duke Special Reserve brandy, made from a blend of the last two remaining 24 and 30 year-old barrels, produced by a 12th-generation master distiller. Originally distilled in an alambic pot still using seven fraction distillation. This is just spectacular stuff, as you would expect from a 24+ year old brandy. — 9 years ago
Just bought the last bottle from woodland hills wine shop.
Domaine Les Cantates
Mondeuse Vin de Savoie 2012
The Charlie Brown Xmas of wines. The bottle is wounded, but underneath it's thriving, offering a lush, creamy dive into yellow apples, tangerine, mushroom crate, and popcorn butter. The golden color was gorgeous. The finish was assertive, but not insistent. — 9 years ago

Night six on the Allure of the Seas and wine number seven from the wine crate. This night we are at Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse.
Deep ruby red. Attack on the nose was soft with notes of dark spices, anise and iron. Seems to need a little bit of time but the 2011 characteristics keep poking through with notes of twigs, herbal and greenery. With a bit more time came some cinnamon and dark red berries. Medium tannins (6/10) with solid acidity. Seems younger than the nose when you get to the palate with black currants, cassis, bramble red berries and a touch of heat. Medium to medium plus bodied with a little bit of earthiness in the medium plus to full finish. Drink till 2026. — 8 years ago
