Another excellent Lynmar Pinot Noir. Rich dark fruit, elegant and smooth. Similar to Gevrey-Chambertin but with a California accent including a lot of oak. Nice $55 purchase. — 2 days ago

Very oaky Chardonnay. Yet an excellent example of the very oaky Sonoma Chardonnay style. Quite enjoyable but it must be consumed with creamy food or steak. Strong vanilla flavors and oaky nose. Good $45 bottle. — 6 days ago

Intense red fruit. Smooth, slightly sweet, elegant, fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignon. Well-made but lacking any earthiness, gravitas, and complexity. Leave open at least one hour. Quite strong but not overwhelming. — 9 days ago

Recently I have had some poor sparkling wines so it was a treat to have an excellent one at a reasonable price. This Champagne has a pear and toast nose and tastes of pear, apple, and brioche. A good value. Mostly 2017 vintage in this November 2022 disgorgement. — 3 days ago

Too much alcohol in this Condrieu. The alcohol overwhelms the other flavors and mars the wine. A disappointment. But at least it was only $39 which is a great bargain for a Condrieu. — 9 days ago

Mediocre overly oaked Chardonnay. — 13 days ago

Good Cabernet Sauvignon. Wine was strong with high alcohol but the fruit was subtle and not overwhelming. The nose is muted. Elegant but needs to be consumed with steak. A good $50 value. — 4 days ago

Red cherry magnificence. Powerful California-style Pinot Noir with an intense cherry nose you can smell from across the room. Smooth and elegant flavor. Not complex but delicious. Worth its high $70 price tag. — 7 days ago
