Domaine Des Versauds Morgon Gamay 2011
Domaine des versauds Morgan 2011. Not well versed in cru Beaujolais so wasn't sure what to expect... this was a nice surprise! The structure and fruit were both awesome, and it even had a nice savory component. Finish was a bit short, was the only thing, but I'd say a steal at under $20. — 9 years ago

Unfiltered Napa County Chardonnay 2007
Unearthed a bottle of 2007 and was curious to see how it's standing up. Thought maybe being unfiltered it would have some staying power, and sure enough the fruit is still fresh. Am curious how it compares to current vintage. Not a big fan of this style but am impressed by its longevity. — 9 years ago
Guy, Annick et Yann Bertrand
Vieilles Vignes Fleurie Gamay
Really in love with this wine. Ripe yet with nice acidity, it seems dead on for 2015. Am particularly into the slight funky earthiness alongside the bright red fruit - I believe Yann Bertrand uses natural winemaking practices, and it shows. — 7 years ago
Robert Mondavi Winery
Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2001
Am drinking my husband's deal gift from the constellation purchase. Wasn't expecting this wine to last so long but the 2001 1.5 L is still very youthful! — 9 years ago

Eruzione 1614 Sicilia IGT Nerello Mascalese 2012
Medium body, good structure, minerally, fresh red fruit. Am learning about nerello mascalese and somm told me is a good example. Inlaws and I both like! — 9 years ago

Knox Vineyard Zinfandel 2015
Couldn’t believe how light and complex this was! Reminded me of cru Beaujolais. Changed how I see Zinfandel and definitely needed a delectable note. — 7 years ago
Domaine Lécheneaut
Morey St. Denis Pinot Noir 2010
I need to revisit when I don't have a cold. Was bright and structured and seemed very young, with fruit a little crunchy. A nice wine but pretty straightforward - not a great value, as far as I could tell. — 9 years ago
Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2003
v2003. A well done hot vintage Bordeaux. Ready to go with lots of fruit - a little bit pruney, even, but structure is nice. Very pleasant! — 9 years ago
Megan O'Connor
Perfect steakhouse pairing. Tons of macerated black fruit and HIGH ripe tannins. Can’t imagine drinking this any earlier. — 6 years ago
