Phenomenal way to not only watch the ‘Stros lay on the heat to the Yankees, but also to usher in a 9 day Vacation! The Four Seasons always delivers top tier wining & dining. I certainly wouldn’t mind staying here throughout all four seasons... — 8 years ago
Drinking complex with graciously floral and green notes sharing love with tropical, tree, and citrus fruit. Fresh grass, pea shoot, tomato leaf, fennel, and jasmine usher in front of lime, green melon and passion fruit. Slate minerality serves as the adhesive for the palate. Grain-driven texture and laser precise acidity honed into the center... finish doesn't quit. Balanced in all aspects and super juicy. Terroir comes through beautifully! — 8 years ago

1996 Le Noble Blanc de Blanc Champagne to wave goodbye to February and usher in an early March Spring! — 11 years ago
A wonderful champagne that helped usher in Christmas. — 12 years ago
Hey there chaps. If you're feeling chapfallen, then this mountainous cuvee could easily usher in a new chapter in your lives. One that even Monsieur Chaptal would deem a sweet choice. I tip my Chapeau to the chapt who made this Chappellet. Pairs well with Chapatties. I felt like a chapleted chaplain having ditched his chaperones and chaplaincies. Shows notes reminiscent of chaparral. So see your roving Chapman for a bottle worthy of being displayed on your chapiters! — 8 years ago
Lovely light tannins then back of the pallette full fruit that comes with a great mid climate shiraz — 8 years ago
A silhouette of violets, dandelion tea, and dark sour cherries usher in angular acidity and firm, addictive tannins. Firm bodied with balanced doses of minerality and sassafras bark. Equality across the palate. Delicious and a stand-up performance of a Beaujolais-Village quality level. #vintageonthecork — 9 years ago
Absolutely terrific wine. Bound to uplift even the most doomy-gloomy mood. As such, it pairs well with political discourse and the prospect of "President Trump." Go ahead, drink those sorrows away. You deserve it.
Beautiful, shimmering golden color. I believe it's actually already deepening with age. (2012 vintage consumed in mid-2016)
On the nose, apricot fruit and unrefined honey dominate but is accompanied with a menagerie of rare and precious aromatics. The result is a feeling of having something truly exotic in your glass. This is a world-class wine for which there could never be any argument over its worthiness. You will be taken by this wine and there's really no way to over-hype it and set the expectation bar too high because this wine will meet it every time.
As we dig in deeper past the obvious top notes, we discover a treasure chest filled with persimmon, sandalwood, white flower, and vanilla bean.
Upon first entry in the mouth you are met with a zippy liveliness but then that melts gently across your palate to really give you a fine, pervasive coating that excites the taste buds in every corner of your mouth. This is a POWERHOUSE of assertive flavor. This wine will stage a veritable coup d'etat upon your complacent palate. There will be an ouster of your resident ennui. No incumbent sense of boredom will be safe from this wave of populist essence. There will be a complete and total transition of power in the halls of your mind's parliament leading to a peaceful but efficacious revolution. With your personal Congress in shambles, this fresh new confederacy shall draft a Constitution that will usher in a new era of utopian cooperation and transcendental civic euphoria!
Sorry, maybe for a little carried away there. For reals though. Drink this wine when you're feeling down and feel the BURN! Well, not really - because the alcohol is really well-integrated. ;) — 9 years ago

A good bottle of wine to usher in 35 — 9 years ago
Tasting notes on Krug can never really capture the magic so I won't try....but I will say that vintage Krug always (always!) lives up to the hype and I appreciate anything that lives up to expectations. A generous, expressive, classy, sleek bubbly that helped me usher out a '16 that I was more than happy to push roughly through the door. If you're "not a fan" of champagne try Krug. It's transcendent. — 9 years ago
A rich garnet, the '09 Foxen Red Rhone Blend 'Cuvée Jeanne Marie - William Doré Vineyard' perfumes the nose of this GSM with brambly black fruit, white pepper and toasty cedar scents.
