Remarkable Chianti Classico with some very nice bottle age. Quite primary on initial taste, with a bit of air the tannins recede a bit and some of the secondary notes come through. Delicious, very nice suggestion by the sommelier at The Grill. Lots of sediment so decanting for that reason alone makes sense. — 3 years ago

Light but full fruit with dryness and unsweet, thanks to Bill Zacharkiw from Montreal Gazette and 40 West sommelier extraordinaire. — 4 years ago

Second zoom tasting, this time with master sommelier Hak Soo Kim of Per Se. Chris Blanchard nailed the description with the line “velour not silk.” But Hak Soo stoke the show by matching the wine with his operatic voice. — 5 years ago

Anniversary lunch at Terry’s in Carmel. This Blanc de Blanc was delicious with small bubbles, low alcohol, dry yeasty tastes and flavors of lemon and pair. — 10 months ago

The quality for price is outstanding. In 1936 “Caillou’s owner had no desire to join the governing ranks of anything, let alone a wine appellation. This brazen act excluded the estate from the AOC and essentially carved out a chunk of Châteauneuf-du-Pape‘s border. Today it continues to be an ‘unclassified’ section in what is otherwise some of the most prized vineyard land in the area“-Ian Cauble, master sommelier — 4 years ago

Mid to bright gold in colour. A note of paraffin Notes of Orange marmalade, toast, apricot, mangoes and almonds. Intensity off the charts. How can you get this much flavour into a wine. A fitting finish to a marvellous dinner. Hats off to the Downs Club - Mark Kennedy the chef, and Peter Barbe the Sommelier. May there be many more such dinners, also Ramon the importer who spoke about each wine with great knowledge. — 4 years ago
