Slightly earthy, sweet and complex. Goes well with absolution and eating tempura with a fork. — 10 years ago

Saying this is an entry level Chablis like saying Captain Ahab was a middling fisherman. Not the best, but good for obsessively smiting ones enemies. — 10 years ago

Valhalla! This baby is not ready yet, but when it is... Unicorns baby. Unicorns. Tasted it with the winemaker and promptly fell to the ground and cried. #musigny #burgundy — 10 years ago

If you sat at the lodge tasting in Napa, you may say you're as dope as me. Yet you're probably not. Bought the Keefer as well. — 10 years ago

This is holy grail wine. Not the face of God but as close as you can get without losing your countenance like the Nazi in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Best enjoyed with champagne, thoughtful company and adequate silence. — 10 years ago

Yea. Amarone is it. This noble lady still has a few years left in her yet. Pairs well with government shutdowns and 12 wine verticals. — 10 years ago

After quitting my last place, knowing Ieft 3 bottles behind feels like I abandoned my family. Allow 30 minutes before daring to taste this mind blowing grower champagne. — 10 years ago
