Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Christmas present to ourselves! This Is a fine, mature wine from a ripe year. Not as overripe as some, not yet drying out, makes one wish for a cellarful of oldies to drink every day! — 7 years ago

La Doriane Condrieu Viognier 2010

2010 vintage. Medium golden hue. On the nose, deep concentration of aromas. Waxy, canned apricots, white pepper, white flower, cream and hazelnut. On the palate, medium minus acidity, medium plus alcohol, full body and concentration. Longish finish. Very good. Would probably wait another 2+ years to reach another level. Drink now until 2022+. NB: serve chilled, as becomes fat as gets to room temperature. — 8 years ago

Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards

Estate Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

The wine of tonight is Conn Valley from Anderson's Vineyards 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon estate reserve!!! Ka Pow! The color is opaque and the legs are thick, slow, and dark! The bouquet is fresh berry pie. My palate aeration of this wine is very smooth with no harsh alcohol nose burn - its my own thing I learned from Maximilian Riedel. The initial palate is raspberry and a huge spice attack. There is oak in the long finish with a buttery chocolate smoothness that quickly turns into a dry finish leaving you thirsty for more!!!!! I love it. This is almost to good to drink with food, but a big thick ribeye would explode with flavor following this one. I just wish it were cheaper. — 9 years ago

Domaine Roulot

Les Luchets Meursault Chardonnay 2011

I can't name any other white wine producer anywhere in the world that would top @Jean-Marc Roulot for me right now. This wine is so elegant, so finessed, it's waltzing on the palate. Sensual, confident and mysterious at times — I couldn't wish for more. — 9 years ago
