Premiers Crus de la Côte des Blancs Champagne Chardonnay
A wonderful Winter Blanc de Blanc- gorgeous masculine champagne with musky. Quite different than others, but perfect for the cold months. — 7 months ago
Grgich Hills Estate
Miljenko's Old Vines Napa Valley Zinfandel 2019
This is drinking perfect right now, minimal tannins but classical structure. Will peg the remaining bottles to drink in 2025. 45 minutes decanting: Classic dark berry nose, pepper on tongue, and beautiful linger. 30 minutes after first described: the spice has died almost completely down and now having a very jammy end, different and filling vs “I want to have another sip.” Still drinking nicely but definitely at peak now, don’t cellar longer than 2025! — 14 days ago

The Standish Wine Company
The Relic Shiraz Blend 2014
2014 vintage. Lovely nose with cherry and plum full body. 14.5% alcohol content is visible but well woven into the structure. Lingering beautifully a minute after tasting. Strong tannin structure, 5+ years to go. Three hour decanting to fully experience the bouquet. — 3 months ago
