Meeks Hilltop Ranch Zinfandel 2009

I had to cheat on the photo because the Zin label was so badly damaged, unlike the wine, which was just fine. It was, in fact, the Meeks Hilltop. — 9 months ago

Bodegas Hidalgo

Wellington 20 Years VOS Palo Cortado Sanlúcar de Barrameda Palomino Fino

Da bomb, for sherry lovers: Palo Cortado versión. A shape shifter on the palate & ringing on the higher registers, this Hidalgo checks all the boxes for me, which includes a lightness & freshness heaven made for most food. Burnt pine cone & toffee bits, a subtle mushroom thing (oyster?), & a rather trim beef bouillon broth lurking on the back end. That may all be bs but it’s a wine that inspires….. — 2 years ago

Sonoma Valley Grenache 2006

Hazy garnet in the glass. Nose and palate of red apple peel, red cherry, rose petals. Fruit forward, but not a bomb by any stretch. Medium full body. Medium acidity. Medium plus tannins that assert themselves fully on the finish. Heavier than expected for a Grenache, but that just makes this all the more satisfying especially eleven years on. Pork roast is the order of the evening. Thanks, Peter! — 6 years ago

Victory Reserve Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2004

Dark ruby garnet in the glass. Abundant nose of cassis and other purple fruit with a menthol base. Palate is full-bodied and dark with black currant, prune, and old violets. Medium acidity and just enough (medium minus) tannins to keep it food friendly; burgers to Porterhouse. Just make sure the food is flavorful. It needs the competition. Still holding up well 14 years on with maybe five or ten years left. — 6 years ago

Wellington Pinotage

This is an excellent wine with deep fruit flavors. It is good immediately and after breathing for up to 48 hours. — 7 years ago
