Great vineyard for this wine. Better than others I have had. Soft, round, and fruity. Random Tuesday watching Brewers put Cuba back into second place. — a month ago

Tasting of 10 of the 2007-2011 Dehlinger Pinots. Eva Delingher was kind enough to join our tasting and answer all of our random questions. So this one seemed to have some VA which was so disappointing - my rank 10th of 10. Group also ranked it last place. — 5 years ago

Straight forward crisp SB. This is what makes NZ so reliable. Any random supermarket bottle meets the minimum cut off. This one is great for a quick Christmas Eve lunchtime quaff and to add to all the sauces we’re prepping for tonight. 😊 — 7 years ago

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! My first time trying this delicious beer thanks to some random guy at the store telling me how good it is. For a dark beer it’s very smooth. Cheers! 🍀🍺🍀 — 7 years ago

I won this random brunello in a charity auction as part of a lot with some Bdx and Burg that I actually wanted. Popped it tonight with spaghetti bolognese and it was actually pretty damn enjoyable. Big wine for sure, but smooth and not too hot despite 14.5% alcohol. Ripe raspberry and black cherry, dried fig, cedar, potpourri, some sweet wood that’s well integrated. Polished and fruit-forward, not exactly what the cool kids are drinking but I had a decent time. — 8 years ago

birth year Port - pristine, jaw dropping tastiness. Random conversation with wine guy in DC who says he has a stash of Feist port in the basement, took a chance and really lucked out - thanks Schneiders! — 9 months ago

My experience with South African red wines is limited, but I’ve enjoyed some Meerlust reds and a few other random bottles. I have to say, while this wasn’t a revelation, it is the best South African wine I’ve had to date.

This was a bottle opened blind for a few people. Oddly enough, there were similarities to this and a 2013 Almaviva…a burnt rubber/tire note on the nose alongside a vegetal/herbal pronounced note on the nose. Tangy/sour black cherries, red currant and red licorice too. Mostly red and black underripe fruit dominant. Even a bit of tar. This drinks like a chinon mixed with a lean vintage Bordeaux…the spice and vegetal flair is there next to the lightweight mid palate from a cooler Bordeaux vintage. A blend of five “noble varietals” in honor of Bordeaux, this was a unique wine that had people guessing from all over the world. After 1-2hrs of air from
bottle, it was balanced/integrated and ready to roll. I’d enjoy these sooner rather than later. — 5 years ago

Bottle #2 from wine shop by Wrigley Field. Just a random PN pickup. Never heard of this producer. Not a bad bottle. Cola, tart cherry. — 6 years ago

Imagine your licking a rough wet stone wall with rivulets flowing down at random. This vintage would pair with that vision. Rough. Wet. Random. Be ready for a happy roughed up tongue.. — 7 years ago

Wow, old school perfection! California wine from a forgotten age. Pure Italian-American greatness. Reminds me of the wine my childhood landlord would make from the vines that grew behind our house just upstate from NYC. Dark fruits abundant, soft acidity and tanins, nice touch of oak, without obscuring the graps as so many California wineries are obsessed with doing for some reason these days. Found this at a random liquor store on a road trip, will seek it out now. Even better than the Cribari Chianti or Coppola Rosso, which were my previous favorite in this genre, the wonderfully underappreciated "backyard" wine... — 8 years ago

Left bank vs right bank WTF Group night. People paired up and poured wines in pairs with same vintage and opposite bank. Everything enjoyed blind.

@Delectable Wine : This is a Saint Emilion Bordeaux. I didn’t see it in the database.

This was a random pick by me at the local wine shop. JSuckling 95 and RParker 94. Unique right bank. After about 2hrs in the decanter, it had a bit of funk to it that many left banks have at pop and pour. Cali reminiscent. Dark fruit profile with dark chocolate. Dirty chocolate covered cherries, fleshy berries on the palate and fantastic aromatics.

Wonderful random find. Easy drinking, red fruits, earthy, and round. Price is fantastic, roughly $16-20. Would keep a case for any chill out evening or nice meal at home. — 7 years ago

Wow totally surprised by this wine. As a random purchase at $40, this definitely out kicked the coverage. The aromas are so inviting....perfumed floral, mint, and earth.
BlackBerry, black cherry, pomegranate, and crushed rocks on the palate.
Decanted for 60 minutes.
This is still very young and has a decade or so to go. If this was a St. Emillion it would be easily twice the price point. — 8 years ago
