Munjebel Terre Siciliane Rosso Nerello Mascalese

I finally get the volcanic funk references. Clean flavors with clarity rarely seen in a red. From a visionary wine maker. Thanks to Kyle for the chance to taste this dandy. — 9 years ago

A Tribute to Grace Wines

Hofer Vineyard Grenache 2014

It takes a visionary to find this old vine, own rooted material in Cucamonga and deliver a composed, energetic singular vision of American Grenache. It shows power in a similar manner that a Blanc de Noirs Champagne would. Behind the elegance and nuance. Similar to all of Angela's wines, crystalline fresh red fruit. Cannot wait to see how this site develops in future vintages. — 10 years ago

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2007

A testament to a visionary winemaker surrounded by people who want to join him in living the dream. Leather and liquorice on the nose, blackberries in the mouth and a long, velvety vanilla finish. Merci, Jean-Michel Comme. — 12 years ago

Robert Mondavi Winery

Reserve 50 Anniversary To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

This outstanding wine is a great homage to the visionary Robert Mondavi with its polished tannins, well-integrated oak and it incrementally increase in flavors on the palate that finishes with a lifted, pristine breath-taking finish. But it will need time! — 9 years ago

Tradition Brut Champagne

Raising our glasses tonight to the memory of the great Leonard Cohen. A good friend who sells Champagne here in Seattle reminds us to celebrate everyday. Today we are celebrating the music and poetry of a true genius and visionary. Bowie and Prince welcomed him to the other side & Kurt Cobain finally gets his Leonard Cohen afterlife. The wine as always is great. — 10 years ago

Anthony, if you were not already, he released a new album last month. "You Want it Darker." Recorded at his home well aware he's end was near. Brave! One last jewel before his departure. He'll be missed.

@David Trumper - I love the new record. His voice has moved to a quasi-Tom Waits croon/growl which suits the lyrical content perfectly. Heard a great interview with Nick Cave about Leonard where he described the music as obviously dark, but always good natured. Perfectly said, IMO.

Was lucky to see him live on 3 occasions in Seattle. Among my top few concerts, ever. A great poet... read his early novels if you get a chance.
