Wine Moments

Bodega la Milagrosa

Milcampos Viñas Viejas Ribera del Duero Tempranillo

Highly recommended at Specs, so I went for it. A friend has also recommended Ribero del Duero over Rioja, so I thought I'd give it a go. A sort of mild berry-cherry-clove aroma. Mild tannins with a spiced black cherry taste. Really a mildish wine with moments of Spanish flair. Would probably like this wine with lamb or maybe pork tenderloin, depending how it was prepared. Weirdly, I'm curious to maybe try it with like some kind of Indian chutney plate? — 10 years ago

Getariako Txakolina Hondarrabi Zuri

Nice and dry with just a hint of sweet. Interesting moments of carbonation and bubbles although there aren't any! Great with food

La Bonne Pioche Beaujolais-Villages Gamay 2013

At the winery. Great freshness, minerality, fruit, and the same flowers, farmlands, and herbs we smelled walking around the vineyards just moments earlier. — 11 years ago

Volker Eisele Family Estate

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

One of Donn's forgotten wines. Valued at $70. Drank really well with a nice long finials. Nose was a little dank but the tannins lifted after a few moments to leave a great jammy finials. Really enjoyed it. — 12 years ago

Epoch Estate Wines

Veracity Red Rhone Blend 2012

Paso Robles vineyards are making some amazing Rhone Valley, France mimics; you can add Epoch's "Veracity" to the list. I even love the bottle's label, which seems like an art piece you would hang on your family room wall. The fruit is bold and powerful, with Grenache dominating the blend. But it's followed with a syrupy finish that lingers on your taste buds for savory moments. My only criticism is it should improve with bottle aging. Definitely worth looking for and trying. Cheers!! — 11 years ago

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend

HAD to upload this exact picture, as it was my first experience with The Prisoner and one of my most memorable moments in the world of wine. This bottle came courtesy of my best friend and his family at our Christmas cocktail party in 2010 - that's the best indication I have of the vintage. I still remember how struck I was by its deep violet color and complex aroma. This was an amazing gift, amazing experience, and still one of my favorite wines! Thank you, Young family! — 13 years ago
