Love this funky oxidized white; white wine with this bottle age is a nice treat. I’ve had it from this producer only once before, in SF from K&L. It was also on the Schloss Schauenstein wine list. $95 at Redbird with DY. — 4 years ago

Zoom tasting with a 2014 Napa theme with the WNH @Shay A @Mike R @Eric LaMasters @Ron R @David L @Shawn R @Carl Fischer @Joe Lucca...on 3/22...this event was non stop laughs and went a good 3 hours. Such good times. The Greer was drinking phenomenally in its youth. Gripping tannins give way to an ethereal core of black cherry, cedar and dark chocolate. It’s as close to Scarecrow in profile as any wine I’ve had. This will only get better. — 6 years ago

One of the greatest wines I’ve had the privilege of tasting. Cab franc is a favorite of mine and to enjoy a top shelf to CF in the world is a treat...not much green pepper, more beef jerky and soy sauce than vegetal notes. Powerful even after hours of being open. Worthy of smelling for days (violet, dusted blackberries). What a pull from @Mark Flesher ! I just had to feel like a part of the WNH tonight after I saw their wines last night! @Martin G Rivard @Bill Bender @Shawn R @David L — 8 years ago

The nose on this wine was worth a 9.2 alone. I could have sat in the corner huffing the wine for the entire night. Dried cherries, pipe tobacco and earth. One of those noses where you feel like you're transported back to the Chateau and are right in the middle of the vineyard. Wine poured a darker maroon, full to the meniscus. The entry of this wine was rather dense. Middle went to a brambled type of presentation, tar, earth, but still retaining that ever copious cherry. Finish was quite impressive. I will say that this one tasted like it was 5 to 10 years old and could last another 20 years or so. Incredible wine.

@Shay A @Mark Flesher You are here with us in spirit my friends!! That bottle would have fit in beautifully when we did our Cheval Vertical I’d 64,82,90 and 98!!!

It was a good night and definitely jealous of that Cheval vert! That Bara drank rather well and even better than I had remembered. We were definitely there in spirit. Cheers @Martin G Rivard !

This is a special champagne. Aged so gracefully. In a 2nd maturation phase that is getting the caramel flavors out. I should have bought a lot more. This is worth every penny if you can find it. — 4 years ago

When you’re in the smoke (London), white burgs are front and center. @David L, @Bill Bender, @Shay A, @Mike R, @Joe Lucca, @Carl Fischer, @Eric LaMasters, and @Shawn R would wet their pants over this. Killer expression of burg. Regal, pristine and focused. Extends and expands on the palate. Head-spinning presentation - Chelsea, London. — 6 years ago

I truly do not care what the ratings are for this wine. it was definitely the wine of the night and we had a ton of bad ass wines tonight! Such balance and opulence. Time definitely did this justice as it was fully integrated and drank like a kick ass Bordeaux!!!! All of us at the table tonight we’re looking at each other going, OMG! We literally could not put the bottle down as it was that good. Thank you so much my friend for sharing this gorgeous beauty with us.!!!! @David Wrightson @David L You would have loved this monster my friend! Reminiscent of the bad ass wines that we killed in New York together!@Shawn R A repeat will be forthcoming soon enough! Can’t wait to get together! Love you guys! Can’t Wait to see all of you guys!!

Stunning champagne, especially with 2005 as the base. So much richness and depth here. Strawberry shortbread cookie, orange marmalade, black cherry tart. Incredibly good now…think this maybe peaks in 5-7yrs, and holds for many more.

@M. Christopher Roebuck I’m with @Bill Bender on Vietti. Never question Bill. I also like the suggestion of Gaja especially if it’s so close to your apartment. Cheers and have a wonderful time.

In Puglia I can recommend Gianfranco Fino in Taranto, Li Veli (former owners of Avignonesi) and Tenute Rubino in Brindisi, Agricole Vallone in Lecce and Severino Garofano in Copertino. Enjoy!

I double ck'd my inventory and found that I still had a bunch in storage but not at home :-)

@Martin G Rivard I know the feeling. Those that are initially taken home can disappear rather quickly. Then you find more in storage and feel slightly cheated, slightly happy, and slightly angry :-)
