Whole Foods baby. Nice blend with jammy, smooth texture with tobacco and vanilla highlights. Brand is reputed to be a Winston Churchill favorite. Great with manchego and spicy nduja. — 8 years ago
Watching football and drinking champs with KFC. Bereche is the bomb. I love opening it and waiting and hour or two to drink it, to let it balance out. I like to wait on all champagnes especially Bereche. After getting some air, you get such a nice mix of tart and sweet, like hard candy (Green apple jolly ranchers?), but you get the sophistication of a traditional 3 grape blend with a decent amount of reserve, plus some funkiness from all the naturalness of the process that they use to make it. It is a really smart wine that offers something for everyone without sacrificing anything or making compromises. I like this a lot more than a 9, but I have to save some digits for the Emidio Pepe '85s or the Pol Roger Winston Churchill '88s of the world. If you look at my scores, you see a lot of 9s but that's because I rarely write about wine I don't like. I don't want to be one of those yelpers who only bitch, especially when I know how much sacrifice goes into making great wine. I want to celebrate the Bereches of the world who go that extra mile to touch greatness, even though wine economics resist it. — 9 years ago
Winston isn't here, but thought I'd torment him. Dark ruby and very aromatic of plum. It's young, but balanced and very dark fruit flavorful. Long on the palate. — 10 years ago

Black currant winston says. Sweet not too dry went well with everything from cauliflower bisque and cornbread to duck to chocolate truffle. Didnt know yorkville highlands was a thing. Supposedly known for cooler weather, north of sonoma. — 9 years ago
Hey this was the drink of choice for Sir Winston Churchill — 10 years ago
Lots of fruit and tobacco. Fuller bodied and more interesting than a lot of pinots. — 11 years ago
Five years cork age on this beauty; glad the decision was taken to drink (now who relies on natural cork); wildly full of pinot noir development; nose heaviness; layers of mature pinot tertiary aromatics; such as herbal oils, deep nuts, mushroom, aged yeast bits too; drunk with raw scallop, celery, fennel shavings, mullet bottarga; dressed with lime, olive oil; Pol brings out the savouriness of the green vegetables; salt of the sea, sweetness of scallop; all veges home grown; palate is full on; powerful, not the massiveness of Winston Churchill but same mould; square wine which hardly tapers in the mouth; the amazing feats of champagne! @polroger #polroger #champagne #1999 #pinot — 11 years ago

2007 is tasting fantastic. Rich smooth tasting 12 years old and this wine is not Frank Family’s top of the line ((Winston Hill etc). Still some fruit forward tones with a milk chocolate finish. Love the wine — 7 years ago
