The Velvet Devil Washington State Merlot 2022

Haters gon' hate. This is one of my go-to grocery store picks. It's super cheap ($12), and it tastes like Merlot.

@Dave no hate! Your grocery store selections are better than our mass production wines in QC! Thank goodness for Costco!

I'd have thought you have some decent shops in the Quad @Dawn E.

La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah

Exceptional wine - deep ruby color with a huge bouquet of violet, plum, black pepper, black cherry, licorice, vanilla, clove, prune and dried rose petal. Velvet tannins, the alcohol is well balanced with the fruit and full-bodied texture. Still in its infancy but already delicious, this wine has a stunning future — 5 months ago

Are you going to try the new La Chapelle Grange blend at $2000 ++?

St. James Winery

Velvet Red Sweet Concord

Sweet at first and then tart to finish. A very good contrast. Not too sweet and not too tart. My favorite wine so far. — 4 years ago

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

Beautiful, intensely perfumed nose. Ripe cherries, wildflowers, orange zest, beautifully broad and full-bodied. Ripe, full-bodied, powerful, yet elegant. A wine that excels in its details. An iron fist in a velvet glove. — 2 days ago

Nuts & Bolts California Syrah 2014

2014 Vintage. Was a bit funky on opening but opens and lost that funk with air. Massive Syrah fruit and velvet mouthfeel. Great job Russell! — 4 months ago

Shafer Vineyards

Hillside Select Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Very dense and primary still. Dark plum, damson, blood, hint of minerality and menthol. Beautifully rich and smooth, real velvet on the palate. Good balance and long. If there’s a knock, it lacks a little in definition and wildness... all is subsumed in a smooth and rich ride. — 4 years ago

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1995

Age 30 has 1995 Latour is in an amazing place, finally, fully open and giving wafting unmistakable Pauillac perfume, integrated and seamless and liquid velvet in the mouth with melting tannins and an explosively long finale. My fav first growth 💯 — 4 months ago

McGregor Winery

The Delicious Monster White Blend 2023

This wine is pale greenish-yellow in color. Its nose offers abundant lemon and lime aromas, along with floral and herbal notes. The palate shows apple, pear, and peach flavors, along with a healthy dose of citrus minerals. The acidity is quite good and the sip is clean and fresh. Load up on this before springtime. — 5 months ago
