Old Vine Gamay on Thanksgiving 2025. Murky ruby color. Aromas of red berries, wet stones, red flowers and sweet spices. Flavors of red plums, sour red cherries and raspberries, cranberries and baking spices. Distinct iron/granite note on the medium-plus finish. Medium body, soft tannins and ample acidity. A bit muddy. Reasonable Beauj. — 5 days ago

11/2025. One of my favorite Pinot Noir’s. Good fruit without over powering cherry. Paired well with my Thanksgiving meal. — a day ago

Starting Thanksgiving off right.

Paired with bacon wrapped dates stuffed with feta. Caviar birds nests with crème fraiche. Shrimp cocktail, spinach dip and cheese.

Really nice sweetness to balance the food. — 5 days ago

A quick break from my Costco ratings, and a welcomed one. This bubbly is very solid. Golden apples and lemon and pastry. Very nice Thanksgiving pour!

Lovely, sweet mature fruit (dried redfruits), there might be a touch of Brett (but less than the 1995 Beaucastel I posted last week), suave and complex on the palate, lingering finish, excellent Chateauneuf-du-Pape at its peak!! — 21 days ago

Start of the holiday season. I’m kind of disappointed with this. It came offf as flat almost boring. Just a hint of lemon but mostly bread. Age was not kind to this. — 9 days ago

Very indulgent champagne with overripe fruit and balance. Joy to drink and amazing packaging...for similar money i prefer an aged DP or a Krug — 3 days ago

One of the best CDLR’s in the biz showing beautifully tonight with an ultra complex and seductive bouquet of candied red cherries, rose petals, coffee beans and game meat. The palate is luxuriously silky with obvious grand cru and old vine concentration, particularly for the vintage, and there is beautiful purity and elegance to balance its power. Its spice and mineral inflicted finale just keeps on going. 07 Burgundy are in such a great spot. — 18 days ago
