Réserve Spéciale Vin d'Alsace Gewürztraminer

Very rich, lychee and rose fragrance with a full body and spicy finish. Tastes like quince. — 7 years ago

Complices de Loire Chenin Blanc 2013

Very nice chenin blanc. Zippy and bright but also medium body, as it opens up tastes a bit like gruyere cheese and lemon and smells like what the candied daffodils in Willy Wonka I imagine would smell/taste like. Also has a nice touch of a bitter finish. Pairs great with citrus and tahini. — 8 years ago

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1998

Drinking the 2 decade old product of the masterful collaboration of the new world (order's) master, Robert Mondavi, and the old world's (puppet) master, Baron Philippe Rothschild was a dream cum. True, I may be biased, but after recently tasting the 1996 and 1997 vintages of Robert Mondavi's Napa Can, I can see how much RM benefitted from Rothschild's involvement in the 1998 Opus One. He must have felt like the Cleveland Orchestra in Michael Jackson's Will You Be There (Free Willy Song). Really good, aged, mellow cherry juice. This one has quite a few years of life left in it. Mmmmmm. — 9 years ago

Cantina Della Volta

Lambrusco di Sorbara Rosé 2016

Like the part in Willy Wonka where they drink the Fizzy lifting drinks and float joyously in the air. Lovely apple, pear, grapefruit flavors. Wonderfully smooth bubbles. Dances across the palate like a sexy ballerina. An Excellent celebration wine! — 8 years ago

Iron Horse Vineyards

Estate Chardonnay 2012

2012 Napa/Sonoma closeout Chardonnay face-off. If you were going to make a movie theater popcorn flavor of chewing gum, you’d want to drink the William Hill before you started just to make sure you got it right. It’s a Willy Wonka expression of malolactic fermentation. The Iron Horse brings more precision along with more restraint. Focused stone fruit infused with lemongrass and lychee lead the way to a lime and mineral driven finish. — 8 years ago

Gewürztraminer 2013

2014 - Brilliant, reflective, dark straw with a copper hue and a thin water white rim. Intensely aromatic, floral dominant, rose blossom, hibiscus, honeysuckle, subtle stone fruit and citrus, apricot, orange peel, and cantaloupe, a fleeting wisp of cigarette smoke. A dry wine but the mouth-filling perfume leaves a perception of sweetness. Medium plus alcohol lends a lingering warmth and viscosity to the palate. Medium plus acid and a touch of bitterness gives balance to the juicy ripe fruit aromas in the mouth. Fruit and floral aromas confirmed in the mouth with an additional hint of marmalade, and spicy ginger — 9 years ago

Normally I am a burgundy guy but much like Violet Beauregarde changing from gum to chocolate in Willy Wonka I have been on a Bordeaux kick. Wine is very tasty much like a Wonka bar. Coffee dark chocolate and blue berries. — 10 years ago
