True Believer
La Rioja Alta
Gran Reserva 904 Rioja Tempranillo Graciano 2001
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. — 10 years ago
True Myth Winery
Edna Valley Chardonnay 2012
Buttery, light toast, nutty on the nose. Low to medium acidity, hints of citrus. — 11 years ago
Château Margaux
Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1978
This was amazing. Such great black fruit and notes of tar and cedar. This is a true Grand Vin. Briefly decanted to settle and didn't lose much. Still some slight acids and tannins. Ultra smooth. — 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. — 10 years ago
Lail Vineyards
Blueprint Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011
2011 vintage. Was expecting an over powering true Napa Cab but was very subtle. Fruit forward with low acidity and tannins. — 10 years ago
Caymus Vineyards
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011
True Caymus classic. Very fruit forward. Many years left in them but not tonight — 10 years ago
Opus One
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1990
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! — 12 years ago
Adam Greenberg
Slightly on end of its life. Time to drink this 2001 grand reserve is now. Notes of tobacco, elegant spicy fruit, true depth in each sip. — 10 years ago
