Not to complex very easy to drink. I find this to be a great bottle for people who want a Cabernet with a Pino Noir soft approach. — 5 years ago

Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2014

One of the best wines I’ve ever drank. Amazing color and flavor profile. Well balanced and full bodied. And I found it at Trader Joe’s I think. Definitely will get several bottles for my cellar. — 6 years ago

Lazy Bones Paso Robles Cabernet Franc 2016

This has some of the red fruit that I would expect, but not as much as other cab francs I’ve had. This does have nice stony minerality, and a lot of black pepper. Medium bodied with medium-ish puckery tannins. This bottle was a great value at Trader Joe’s. — 7 years ago

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1997

An absolutely stunning lunch from @joe leatherwood today. 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 5 reds and 1 dessert wine. All served blind.

In. The. Zone. The first of five mind blowing reds. This, to me, epitomizes first growth version of Bordeaux. In fact, I called this Napa royalty style first growth style. It is dusty and just starting to channel some herbal and leather notes, but the density and purity/softness of the fruit (still quite dark, hint of red fruit), scream older Napa Cab. Added notes of fig, leafy tobacco, and truffled dark cocoa. Wonderful!

Served blind as the first of five red wines. My guess was 15 year old Napa cab and the oldest red wine on the table. This was a 22 year old Napa cab, and was the oldest red wine on the table. Had all the classic aged blackberry notes, tobacco leaf in the middle with a hint of mint. I had the advantage of having a spotlight on my glass, which showed more sediment than any of the other reds. I guessed the producer to be Bond. Very classic expression of what I consider to be a true Napa Cabernet. Delicious. I preferred the second and third wines a little bit more, however those turned out to be a 1998 Chateau Haut Brion and 1997 Ornellaia Masseto......

The ‘97 Phelps was the wine that started it all for me. Holds a special place in my heart but had I never crossed its path, I would be on a normal retirement trajectory. I now need to add a decade to my retirement with all of that wine I drink💰

Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2016

Purchased at Trader Joe's. This is what we think of when we think of vouvray, and it's from the Loire Valley, even better. We have a soft spot for the Loire-- the midsummer rain, the wheat fields, the castles, the German tourists. Yum. — 8 years ago
