Teroldego is mostly grown in Trentino but somehow Bryan Harrington got his hands on some from the Santa Clara Valley, of all places. Dark red in color so it is often used as a blending grape, but tasted just fine on its own. 2011 vintage, 13.1% abv. — 5 years ago

Fun afternoon at Classic with great company. Glad you could join us Bryan.

Dense! Chocolate covered black cherries all over the place. Rich! Flavor packed. Cherry cordial wrapped in blackberry pie crust. The finish is full of cocoa dusted dates and sweet fruit. Great drinking window. Thanks for opening @Mark Flesher . — 7 years ago

Fun afternoon at Classic with great company. Glad you could join us Bryan.

Best served when warmed up slightly above cellar temp. Rich and powerful. Nutty, marzipan sweetness, and lemon cream aromatics. Oozes of honeycomb, sea salt, and lemon oil on the palate. Simply fantastic right now. Thank you @Dan Fitzgerald — 7 years ago

Bottled 28 March 2018. Blend no. 42. Season 17/18. Shared by @Bryan Frey for a delicious nightcap and to honor Armand’s passing on 6 March. Just a perfectly balanced, funky, citrusy, earthy lambic. Best before 2038, but there is no way I could get my hands on enough to test that date as they would disappear well before then. — 4 years ago

Dinner w Bryan and Katy at Crown Super Deluxe, a fancy Benihana w JAPANESE FRUIT TOMATOES and lobster that jumps off the plate and proper Japanese A5 Wagyu (not some American imitation shit). The wine: a Cab franc merlot that’s lighter than you would expect. A recommendation from the house that was a delicious end to the meal, and was perfect w the Wagyu. — 6 years ago

Yet again, Bryan Page has knocked it out of the park. So inky, rich, juicy with a hint of spice. Think I got lucky and caught this one at the top of its game. Spectacular — 7 years ago

Spicy, light and in full stride! Compared to my ‘13 I opened, this is more accessible (no surprise). Black pepper, plum, spiced black cherry and ripe raspberries on the nose and palate. Some herbal and earthy notes. CdP-esque, actually. Very good and another example of a killer ‘11. Thanks for bringing this @Bryan Kesting ! — 7 years ago

Brief notes. Meaty aromas - very savoury. See previous notes re this being Bryan Martin’s private venture while still working at Clonakilla with their Shiraz Viognier being the benchmark in the country. Love this Northern Rhone style wine. I was expecting pepper but got more spice and charcuterie. — 4 years ago

This was a real treat to enjoy courtesy of @Bryan Kesting being in town, and since we both share an affinity for Antica Terra wines, he was kind enough to bring a 2012 Antikythera.

In the past month, I’ve had the 2012, 2015 and 2017, and this 2012 shows just how incredible these wines can age. I would say this is probably the most impressive OR Pinot I’ve had to date. So much balance here. On the nose, it is quite expressive with potpourri/red and purple floral notes and herb crusted black cherries. The palate is supremely balanced between the herbal/earth/clay like notes encapsulated by underripe red and black fruits and a kiss of sweetness...kirsch like? The core here nods to burgundy with structure. While I don’t think this gets any better, I do think it will cruise for years and evolve in to a somewhat different wine. Thanks again @Bryan Kesting for opening this! — 5 years ago

Fun afternoon at Classic with great company. Glad you could join us Bryan.

Basically a lighter version of the Fracture that it shared the table with tonight. Red, blue and black fruit. Chocolate. Less dense, but more lifted/higher acidity. There is a distinct graham cracker note showing sweetness on the finish. The nose on this is what makes it great. So much complexity. Another few years and everything will come together.

Lemongrass and Meyer lemon on the nose. Medium acidity...mostly steely but there is a hint of oak. Being mersault, I expected a little more. Chalk and limestone down the middle of the palate. — 7 years ago
