Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

Cathy Corison is a true artist. One of the most enjoyable bottles of my days - deep berries, dusty, tremendous balance and structure. One for the ages. — 10 years ago

Belle Glos

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2013

My favorite nightly habit. A true jewel for its price tag $19 most places and you will definitely think it's twice the price with its berry taste and rich texture. — 11 years ago

Château Pichon-Longueville Baron

Baron de Pichon-Longueville Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

WOTN and just crazy good. Still so young at 27 yrs and really needs another 10 to show it's full potential. A strong decant helped open it up but this still has so much more to give. A true delight right now but patience will be rewarded. — 10 years ago

True Myth Winery

Paragon Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

I have had a Chardonnay from Paragon Vineyard before,and this reminds me of it, quite a lot. It’s a SIP certified sustainable growing site and winemaker Christian Roguenant gets a nice full mouthfeel from the lees and the oak.
The straw-colored wine shows quite a bit of minerality on the nose, to be expected from Edna Valley grapes. The wet rocks and lime aromas are always a pleasure, as the are here. On the palate, there are tropical tones and plenty of citrus along with the beautiful oak effect - the wood is used in a very tasteful way. I vacillate between liking oaky Chardonnays and those with none. This one hits in the middle of the range and could be my favorite - for a while, anyway.

Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2008

A star is born!
It means business right from the very dark ruby, and oh, such a promising nose!
It, most definitely, delivers. Dark berries over silk! Craftmanship at its very best. True love is everlasting.

Bryant Family Vineyard

Proprietor Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

True prep for my IPO seminars at the Aspen Classic: kind buddy brings Bryant Family ’01. Cork shatters, no coffee filters available, but kitchen strainer rescues. Glorious wine: oriental spiced nose, cashmere texture. Has many years of life left. — 11 years ago

True story: at some point in this bottle's 23 years of aging, the cork sank into the bottle. When I saw that that had happened, I thought I'd lost this treasure. I thought it had to be bad, but nope. This legendary wine withstood the test of time! Even without a cork intact, the wine stayed really, really good. Thank goodness and yummmmm-y! — 13 years ago

Getting some pencil shavings and candle wax. Hubby smelling apricot but I'm not getting that. Very nicely balanced, some residual sugar (allowing it to age well), going nicely with goat cheese stuffed dates. — 9 years ago
