A splurge. This bistro has a remarkable wine cellar, which I'd like to adopt as my own! But just one bottle, and this was an excellent choice by Valerie. It took the whole meal to establish its personality, which is bold and complicated. — 8 years ago
Great wine from a terrific produce. Volley after volley of white fruit, apple and a exotic tropical component. Solid acid backbone to offset the sweetness. @Valerie O'Shea and @Nancy dwight love this producer by missed out on this bottle.
A numerical score says nothing really given the superb nature of this wine. — 8 years ago
A light bodied Burgundian Pinot Noir with savoury, red currant, tart dark cherry, baking spice, medium tannins. Paired well with AAA braised beef stew. @jonsteeves rated 89/100 - tasted Oct 2016 - bespoketastings.ca — 9 years ago
A cornucopia of tropical and white fruits on the nose and palate. Great viscosity in the glass and in the mouth. Long, long finish. A wonderful wine complementing roast chicken on the BGE. @Valerie O'Shea was a happy girl. — 9 years ago
2014. Rebecca liked this Zin. Valerie and I liked it too. Jammy. High marks for a $9.99 bottle of wine from Trader Joe's. — 9 years ago
One of our favorites! A nice crisp wine! Not to dry! — 9 years ago
I'm usually leery of "celebrity" wines but Valerie Bertinelli's Cabernet Sauvignon is a terrific wine. Lots of fruit, full body, and great finish. — 7 years ago
Luscious, round, and opulent. Tastes like money. Put this in a blind tasting for some real fun. Delicious. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 @Valerie O'Shea — 8 years ago

2009. Wine 2 of 3 from my first wine club shipment. Marin nicknames this "Dos Hombres". I remember that this wine is very, very, very dry. Sucks the moisture out of your mouth. I think I liked it more than Valerie. Her favorite is "Intimate", A 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon—the one with the gold label (the one with the red label is "French Kiss"). — 8 years ago
2013. Bought at Whole Foods. Valerie and I drank at Matt's birthday party at Peggy's and Matt's house. UPDATE 9/2016. Needs to breathe then gets better. Not as memorable this time. — 9 years ago
2013. Valerie and I had this at Melba's and again at her bistro. Spicey fruity. Opens up and becomes gentler. — 9 years ago
One of the best rose blend wines we have had! — 9 years ago

2014. Valerie and I had this at The Restaurant at Convict Lake. Really liked it with out ribeye. It opened up nicely, bold; not a guest wine. Only $36 at the restaurant. — 9 years ago
Worthy of its reputation. Truly perfect. Even @Valerie O'Shea and@Nancy Dwight might switch from burgundy. — 9 years ago
