Brut Champagne Blend 2003

One of chef de cave Geoffroy's favorite vintages, but not mine. The heat of the year and lack of Chardonnay makes for a flatter than expected Champagne. At The Relais & Chateau vertical of Dom Perignon with chef de cave Richard Geoffroy. — 11 years ago

This is one of my all time favorite wines!!

Château Rieussec

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1990

1990 Rieussec as part of a four Sauternes horizontal tasting. Drank end of December 2014. Deep deep caramel color for the bottle we had. A cork soaked to the top and ready to collapse. The bottle might not have been stored in the best of conditions. Still, an excellent Sauternes. Watch for oxidation from leaky corks. — 12 years ago

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2010

Really one of the top! Elegant, really long finish, well balanced tannins, fresh dark fruit, fragrant and sweet! — 13 years ago

A wine that makes one proud to be Californian. Paul Draper said this vintage was one of his very best, and I can see why. With the focus of the 1991 and the nuance of the 1978, this is one of the greats. So easy to drink with the steak, impossible to forget.
