I asked for a Médoc, and we got a tasty 55cab/45merlot blend. 24$ at Assorted Table. Cassis, berries, spices. Tannins. Both enjoy — 9 months ago

Wine klurb: “good attack”... more like “super smoky and tobacco”. High alcohol. Mild fruitiness. Light tannin. Prob better with food than sitting on back porch without food during a pandemic. — a year ago

Agreed, this is a BIG red that needs some accompaniment. It washes with some alcohol after the tobacco hit. I like it, would be great with some protein, as was recommended by Josh... But, we are thirsty, and its a pandemic and who cares, really. Let's drink!

A lovely gift from Elise during pandemic times. Fuller body rosé. Less sweet, more dry, which is fantastic for rosé. Strawberry, in color and taste. Joe liked it 🥂 — 10 months ago

Usually don’t like a lot of Cabernet, but this is mighty tasty without being full body- drinking in its own is no problemo. — a year ago

Agreed - Tasty. Got some tobacco in them there fancy wine palette. Good to eat with something otherwise the smokiness (separate from the tobacco flavor) may be a little much. break out the cheese, drink some wine

Not my favorite Oregon Pinot. A little flat. But maybe more drinkable than a super dry minerally wine. — a year ago

Joe says fruit forward Pinot. But drank well on its own while waiting for food in Paris. Not an earthy Oregon Pinot, but very French in that way. Hi JoJo — a year ago

You just had to add that we are in Paris. Well, fine then. Be that way. A delicious wine to pound hard and party with. Oh wait, that’s every wine. Hi j-bird.

I’m not a big cab fan. I would not choose this one again. A faint taste of spoiled mixed greens. Also, horrible name dropping of Kahlo for no good reason - I doubt she would approve of such nonsense.
