Pico Maccario

Nice sippy sours with well balanced fine after taste. Had it with Spaghetti Puttanesca. Came in very nice in my taste palet. — a year ago

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

On to the 2012 Pontet-Canet from Paulliac paired with grilled lamb chops and made from scratch boulonese sauce. Fantastic. The wine expressed it selves very well after a good hour and half of decanting at about 60 F. The earthy umami flavors of the food propelled the wine above its weight. But the absolute best ever tasting quartered, seasoned potato wedges/fries from our guests brought the wine into outer orbit. The duck fat tasting fries revealed herbaceous floral notes on the mid palet and created a soothing long finish. With smooth fine grained tannins. — 4 years ago

Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2017

Fragrant plums with a hint of sherry and oak. The sherry continues on the palet and then moves to limestone. Slightly bold and yet smooth on the finish. Garnet in color with some purple hues. A compliment to Asiago cheese, Italian pepperoni, Sicilian green olives and Italian sweet pickles… — 5 years ago

Domaine du Pesquier

Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2018

Beautiful wine, full of flavours, fills the palet with impressions. Very well rounded and is perfect with some heavy autum /winter food.
A real favourite, I will have this again.

Gargiulo Vineyards

G Major 7 Study 575 OVX Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015

When they hand you the massive wine list and say “pick something interesting...within reason”. Pretty easy with Gargiulo on the list. Had the pleasure of meeting winemaker Kristof Anderson 2 years ago and toured the GV facility to see him in action. Amazing winery and some of the best grapes in the valley...what could go wrong? (Had them decant for an hour while the other guests roasted me on my second departure from Hard Rock Internaional on my way back to Darden for a second tour there...restaurant world is small.) Once poured out, it danced firmly across the palet. Still a little tight, but the dark fruits and medium tannins balanced out and went with the wagyu nicely. — 6 years ago

Quinta do Casal Monteiro

Forma de Arte Reserva Red Blend

Before we take a sip, we must embrace this bouquet! The bouquet was amazing. Full of blackberries, cedar and oak. On the palet, this full bodied wine is on the dryer side but paired well with a Tuscan pizza! I guess it comes down to what you eat it with?! The Italians are the wine experts but the Portuguese do a great job! — 4 years ago

Tamaral

Roble Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2018

An excellent wine, dark ruby coloring, with blackberry nose and a peppery taste on the palet. Its a heavy wine so food pairing required. A steak would be excellent. — 5 years ago

Antidoto

Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2015

This young Tempranillo comes with several gentle fragrances of plum, cherry and a hint of strawberry. On the palet- a lingering strawberry licorice, Madagascar cinnamon and rustic spices. A forward boldness and yet a refined smoothness enhances the “bite” followed by a beautiful symphony of ripe tannins. A delicious wine paired with a variety of creamy cheeses, pepperoni, apple and roasted pepper and artichoke bruschetta!! — 5 years ago
