At Flame in Vail. Great wine with 7x Waygu filet. Wonderful. — 7 years ago
Terrific. Slam dunk with Delmonico steak cooked on an open flame. Full bodied 2010 has at least another 20 years. Tannins still evident, softened over the evening and excellent paired with the steak. — 9 years ago
I don't know where my head is at the moment. This vertiginous Petite Sirah was paired with a feast for the eyes sous vide rib-eye finished and charred on the open flame. Rarely, I have tasted so defined notes of fruit and tannins. It is a must to taste and it's length clearly helps it keep up with similar crafts from the old world. — 9 years ago
Tonight, back home... Unwind with an old flame. My favorite locally available Oregon PN. Authentic nose, full mouth, less acid than expected in this complex delightful finish... What wonderfully warm wizardry from Willamette — 10 years ago
The treadmill will have to wait until tomorrow!
A wondrous nose of classic cab fruits, a big wine with big ambitions. Cedar wrapped bacon, flame cooked to perfection. My lass said open a good one! I think I have. Fairly pricey, yet hey, it’s NYD.
Hold for up to 5 more years I’m thinking...
Lovely loooong lingering tannins and Sour cherry acidity.

This is totally freaky. It takes like flame broiled green onions. — 9 years ago
1966 vintage. Tawny colour. Nose of toffee, nuts, coffee. Lively acidity, medium sweet, fresh flavours of flame raisins, dried currants, orange zest. Long finish of coffee and currants. — 9 years ago
Vany wait to enjoy my old flame... New vintage but wonderful label — 10 years ago

Great Chenin Blanc, full and nutty. Great with a creamy ripe cheese, it cuts through like a steel knife a flame with butter with a dry sweet vapour trail. — 11 years ago
When I was 19, my boyfriend, “J”, and I went backpacking at Big Sur. We camped in a little grove at the feet of giant sequoias next to a babbling stream whose shore was blanketed in fuzzy moss and delicate dancing ferns. The air was pregnant with a dampness that coaxed more smoke than flame from our humble cooking fire. We made pasta, which fell onto the ground, collecting bits of bark and dirt that, “would add more flavor” J happily exclaimed- I was suspicious. This syrah is that place in my glass. Earthy, smoky, mossy, tinged with delicate red fruit and a surprising acidity. But, much like J and I naively scrambling to care for ourselves in the wild, this wine needs a little more age to become the fullest version of itself. — 7 years ago

"Love. Of course, love. Flames for a year, ashes for thirty." This well-known quote by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa' s The Leopard, sum up in few words who's the true enemie in aging wine and waiting too much before you die: the time! Arianna's SP68 white - she's a sicilian native as the writer of The Leopard - is here to remind us first of all that life is too short to collect so many wines without knock them back sooner mainly when they're pleasant fresh and fragrant; therefore that her wine more than others, is a flame of supreme love, though, we must drink up before it turns into ashes! — 10 years ago
