Rosé Tavel 2018

We were in the mood for a Rose, tried several decent yet forgettable rose’s until we stumbled upon this. Tavel is just west of Châteauneuf du Pap and many of the local Provence Rose’s come from this area. It has a very fresh nose and taste. Similar to eating out of a fresh bowl of slightly sweet and tart strawberries and raspberries, mixed in with some cherries, eating your full. Followed by a nice complimentary mineral taste. Enjoyed this a couple of times over the last few nights over cheese boards, carpaccio, fois gras, and on its own. As a side note, upon reflection, I’m learning that I have (for quite some time) given out lower ratings for wines I have really enjoyed secondarily for a fear of missing out on something else that should be rated “x” high score. Instead I have provided a “pseudo” cap of 9.5. From now on, I will do my best to rectify this, and remove the “fomo” handicap. — 7 years ago

We tried some Tavel rose this summer and found it much more full bodied compared to most. Very enjoyable!

Central Park West Vineyard Petit Verdot 2008

9.3

I love Petit Verdot! Nice dark purple color. Very dynamic nose. It's musty, with lots of barnyard odors and hints of Macintosh apples and tomatoes. A little high in OH at 14.7%, but nice fruit, which is on the sweeter side. Surprisingly short finish. Definitely at the tail end of the drinking window. I'd buy more and will! — 8 years ago

California Cabernet Sauvignon

Pretty good for a can of wine. I saw the ad at Whole Foods and thought I'd give it a try. Nice fruits rounds out with oak and a medium dry finish. This has been the best non bottle wine I've tried. I hope they start serving this on southwest or Hawaiian airlines. I might start drinking wine on my flights again. — 8 years ago

Margaret River Chardonnay 2011

Lots of notes going on here. Pours a 'dehydrated straw' color into the glass. This one has a buttery nose, with peach and a hint of apricot. The entry is pretty luscious, some butter, peach, mango, ginger, and mid-palate that is a little more limestone and mineral-rich with an herbal side showing. The finish is dry, white pepper, very satisfying. More rounded start, drier finish. Has a little bit for everyone who goes to this wine. Not much of an expert in the field of Aussie Chardonnay, but this one is quite enjoyable. — 8 years ago

Révélation Vin de Pays d'Oc Chardonnay 2015

What a tasty Chard! A bit on the light side, perfectly balanced, nice oak flavors at the end, a tiny hint of bubble, not quite so full bodied as a typical Chardonnay (which can be much at times). So delicious. Even more incredible value! — 8 years ago

Art Series Margaret River Shiraz 2001

Somehow, I found this 15 year old Shiraz on the "everyday" side of my wine "area" in the basement. I have no clue where it came from...a gift? Knowing not what to expect, but concerned it might be beyond rescue, we opened it. Turns out, it was not only still drinkable, but quite delicious. Probably should have put it on the "nicer" side of my area. Great surprise. — 9 years ago

Stone IPA is a classic West Coast IPA from San Diego the Mecca of many great beers.This bold, hop forward IPA will never be mistaken for a more refined East Coaster. With its absolutely tantalizing hop bitterness, piney tones and vibrancy this is a big bold awesome IPA. If you like IPAs like I do add this to your list. Touring the many wonderful San Diego breweries is on my bucket list. @Bill Bender Bill this one is for you Cheers 🍻 — 7 years ago

Atmosphère Côtes de Provence Extra Brut Rosé 2014

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor David Newman is leading a live-to-picture performance of Leonard Bernstein’s score for “West Side Story”, originally directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, and with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
For live-to-picture productions, the orchestra performs the entire movie score in real time as the film unspools. (Vocals, dialogue and effects are isolated from the original music track.) The BSO installed very fancy and large LED screens on the perimeter of the Shed facing the Lawn, amazing!

Very nice light Salmon color. Nice fruit, 50% Cinsault & 50% Grenache. Very tasty, much better than their still rosé.

Wow. This is great. It's obviously on the sweeter side but balances with a great sour and what I assume is a block of melted butter. Strongly recommend pairing with west coast oysters. — 9 years ago
