Honey Badger

Sweet Red Syrah Blend

Sweet enough to please my wine sweet tooth but interesting enough for me to want it again! Similar to a (cheap) lambrusco I had earlier this month, just without the bubbles. Great affordable option! — 9 years ago

Bodegas y Viñedos Vega Sicilia

Unico Ribera del Duero Tempranillo Blend 1998

One of my favorite wine at its best !! I could have kept this baby for a long time but wanted to try it. Flavors that define Vega Sicilia! Meats, dark fruit, nail, wood. All perfectly balanced to be enjoyed at the nose, mouth and after taste for a full journey!! — 9 years ago

Domaine Léon Barral

Faugères Carignan Blend 2011

Château Coutet

Sauternes-Barsac Sémillon Blend 1989

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 1998

A little long in the tooth. Decanter for 3 hours and just never got as big as I expected.. — 7 years ago

A. P. Birks

Wendouree Cabernet Malbec 1997

Was raisiny on the nose and I assumed it was oxidised. Surprisingly tasted much fresher with cedar, dark fruits, meaty and the controversial nail polish Wendouree is known for, with only a slight raisin flavour on the finish. My guess is this wasn't stored in the greatest of conditions. — 8 years ago

Williams & Humbert

Dos Cortados Aged 20 Years Solera Especial Palo Cortado Palomino

-
9.3

Very expressive nose displaying mature and complex aromas of prunes, dry figs, peanuts, almonds, caramel, toffee, nail varnish remover and hints of vanilla. It is bone-dry in the mouth with a medium+ body and pronounced elegant and tasty flavours. The alcohol is well-integrated and the finish is very persistent. — 9 years ago

Château Lanessan

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Dark fruit balanced through old oak showing light spice on the nose encouraging thought to nail a specific note but is remaining a bit of an enigma in my rock rattled head after a good day enhanced by 75 MPH Harley induced wind and the brilliance of Bose and an iPhone. Ok, back to the wine, it touches, lightly grabs spreading its dark berry mini-burst in a layered earth touched tannin slow ride making magic with some of Chapel Hill's Bin 54's straight up amazing goodness (in this case very rare filet mignon, garlic tinged green beans and almond slivers; my go to steak spot in NC). Damn, this is all so right-on! Cheers! — 9 years ago

Rutini Wines

Merlot 2008

So, first wine rating since being hospitalized... This has been a favorite for a while. It is a little long in the tooth now, but still a nice aroma of blueberry compote. Still delicious, just a bit different. — 9 years ago

Frog's Tooth

Calaveras County Sangiovese 2011

Fantastic Sangiovese. Out of this world. I ordered my first case ever. — 9 years ago

Cenay

Blue Tooth Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Gerry Rowland, the winemaker etc. told me many years ago that this is his Bordeaux style Napa offering. I have always enjoyed and sold this wine. This vintage has blueberry and blackberry on the nose and a nice medium dry finish. Drinks well as soon as you open the bottle. Nice food wine that goes well with grilled meats. — 9 years ago

Michel Gahier

La Fauquette Arbois Chardonnay 2009

Matté
9.5

This has an amazing nose that is a strange mix of rather sharp furniture polish and the taste that you get when mixing up a couple of different flavour opal fruits (star bursts to you youts) incredibly pronounced, sharp tropical fruits (and nail polish), skittles and strawberry concentrate.
Palate is less expressive but has some wonderful green apple skin, quince, good length, very lovely stuff.

Sierra Foothills Malbec 2013

Frog's Tooth Malbec has always been really good. With their new wine maker on board the 2013 kicks it up a notch further. Really noteworthy. Owners told me it won "best Malbec in region" @ Calif State fair. Well deserved. — 8 years ago

Frog's Tooth

Calaveras Grenache 2011
