Pecchenino

Siri D'Jermu Dogliano Superiore Dolcetto 2010

Apparently, in Croatia, they refer to white wine and black wine. They should see this Dolcetto! The Pecchenino brothers are among my favorite wine makers on the planet. The 2010 sirì d'Jermu is still so youthful it just brings a smile on your face with every sip. — 11 years ago

Swanson Vineyards

Alexis Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

Welcome to Dr Todd's Wine Bar once again. Tonight we are tasting Elizabeth and Clarke Swanson's 2002 Alexis from Oakville Estates in Napa Valley. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah. The cork has a 3mm ring that is well defined. The legs are 4 seconds. The boquet is that of ripe plums. the initial palate is blackberry currant. There is no tanic boquet or taste. The finish is minimally dry, spicy and tantelizing tonthe roof of the mouth. The middle edges of the toungue are tingling. This is very very very good wine!!! I will try and contact the wine makers and order a case of this beautiful wine! Its most likely not available... — 10 years ago

SLO Down Wines

Sexual Chocolate California Red Blend 2011

Love this wine. Have only one bottle left. We've bought cases of it over the years. We dialed the wine makers after tasting it the first night, they were skiing but so happy to talk to us! So touching to taste a community wine that pairs well with everything. — 11 years ago

Jules Taylor

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Very nice NZ SB! Apparently Jules Taylor used to work for Kim Crawford and Cloudy Bay but then went into business for herself. Dinner at High Steaks Restaurant in Thunder Valley. Initially rated it higher but after having it again had to lower my rating. — 11 years ago

McLaren Vale Tempranillo Touriga 2012

SC Pannell probably one of the best makers of alternative varieties in Australia. Dusty raspberries on nose with a mouth filling savoury palate finished off with assertive tannins. Very good. 17. — 11 years ago

9.0

exceptional BdB from the makers of Salon. May be a second wine but nothing second about it! Zesty lemon, tangerine, and some cumquat Rind. Palate is linear with terrific creaminess and mouthwatering acidity. Top way to kick off NYE — 11 years ago

Leonay DW T17 Rhine Riesling 1990

An Australian icon-aged Clare Valley Riesling (in those days called Rhine Riesling unfortunately due to our country's slim knowledge base but later corrected against a barrage of opposition from conservatives and industrial makers of riesling, but not using riesling!) Classic glass of flavour; #honey #burnttoast #agedriesling #brulee #butter #crunch #yum #mouthful #watervale #treasuryestates ; wine made by the great man John Vickery before his defection to Richmond Grove when the Fosters people closed the brand down; but now it is back! Wine won three gold medals in the year of production-1990; probably never shown since. 12.5%; 1990 a terrific red year, usually not so for riesling; this had backbone; sweet acidity; nut power. — 11 years ago
