OMG!!! I’m going to save myself some time and post these all at once. It was one of those epic nights!!!!!! LOL
8 of us began on a mystical journey of friendship, food & WINE!!
we began with five bottles of Haber which just arrived at my office yesterday! OMG! Now I only have three left! LOL!!!!!!!! I absolutely adore this wine and so did my friends. It was actually their WOTN which is a lot to say given the company it was in. I then opened a bottle of 2012 Memento Mori which was its usual opulent self!! Two of us preferred this wine over Haber but the remainder preferred Haber. I pulled this trick out of my butt from David Lentine!!!! A palate cleanser after heavy Cabernets and we opened a gorgeous Beaux Freres- The Beaux Freres Vineyard. We then got things going again with one of my favorite Chardonnays in Napa! This stuff absolutely rocks and should be bought by all. Nuf said, it’s that freaking good!!! Last but not least I decided to mix it up a little and pulled one of my favorite under the radar GSM blends that I know. Domaine de la grange des Peres. Every single one of my guests Took a sip and immediately snap their head up to say “what the heck is this! “that’s good!" You will look like a hero pouring it at anyone’s party and the cost is negligible at $95 a bottle! Bad ass in a glass as I always say. Every single one of these bottles proved to be as such! Love you guys sand cheers to you all! The individual rating for each wine was slightly different but I would say as a collective it was definitely a 9.6 type of evening.

100% Nebbiolo grape and beautifully balanced. Medium body with full of flavours of Tuscany. For the price of Nebbiolo this is excellent unsung wine. — 10 years ago

My favorite producer who makes awesome wines from unsung vineyards in Burgundy. Perfumed nose roses/cranberry juice blend. Much heavier then the Nuits Saint George. Dark berries such as blackberries tannic now but will mellow out. A great wine buy it if you can find it! Online at Amitie wines. Premier Cru level! — 11 years ago

Michel Niellon has long been a rather unsung hero in Burgundy and this '93 Batard was proof of that--so fresh and perfectly focused that it stands along side the likes of Leflaive et al--GLORIOUS! — 11 years ago

Whow, Rich, opulent and deep. Great wine, strawberry hero, but fruit is greatfully balanced by soft tannins & medium acidity, remarkable light but powerful like a Goliath, great Priorat. Nectar that will soothe your soul with spicy devil finish. Cheers

Another grape I don't know much about (Pallagrello Nero). The wine is a lot racier and loud than I was expecting (especially given it was retailing for less than 20 usd). But the flavors seem more floral/rose-petaly/spicy/clovey rather than fruity/chocolate/vanilla. Lot of tannin. I chose the wrong dinner to make. This wine is going to curb stomp my pasta. Terrific wine though! — 11 years ago

The unsung wines of Bordeaux go deep. This 21 year old had so much refreshing cut and sweet black fruit to give! A 750 of claret like this is far too small, especially at 12.5% alcohol. #steakandclaretnight — 9 years ago

Experimenting with Islay, love the peat, especially as this one mellowed with the sherry cask. Bought it because Trevanian's hero in his book Eiger Sanction drank a lot of it and a skit have club member in Dawson, Yukon did so as well. — 10 years ago

I second William Allen's vote. Bill is an unsung hero of California Rhones. Great bright strawberry, cherry and subtle lavender nose. What a great food wine. Paired especially well with rack of lamb. I just wish I had more of this. — 11 years ago

Joe Davis is Demi-god. One of the greatest yet unsung heroes of American wine. This is one of the greatest American Chardonnays ever made, yes I said that, I dare you to put it against ANY American Chardonnay. — 12 years ago
