Domaine Lafage

Tessellae Côtes du Roussillon Vieilles Vignes Grenache Blend 2018

Pour Richards 15. A big well-rounded wine with something for everyone. Had a t-bone with it the second night. — 9 months ago

Fattoria La Monacesca

Verdicchio di Matelica 2014

Stone fruit and citrus flavors and a bit of minerality. Crisp and lovely. Paired with Korean bulgogi.

Pour Richards ~$17

Richards Sweet Blanc Du Bois

Very smooth, a sour apple taste, and full bodied! — 4 years ago

Domaine Tempier

Bandol Rosé Blend 2015

I know it’s become a bit of a cliché...
It IS rather dear for a rosé...
The cult of Kermit and all that...
...but it remains a benchmark. It’s SUBSTANTIAL, for one, you don’t want to gulp it down, it’s 14% ABV and so marvelously complex. Nose is strawberries, herbs, brett. Palate is more strawberries, watermelon, slate, brett, moss, garrigue. Bitter finish with a bit of zing. It’s wild and untamed, yet sophisticated—Keith Richards in a tuxedo.

Paloma

Napa Valley Syrah 2001

Dark ruby-purple color, this shows too much oak for my taste, both aromatically and on the palate, definitely a departure from the earliest versions of this lovely mountain-grown Syrah (1995 home version was fantastic), kudos to Jim and Barbara Richards (sure miss them)! — 4 years ago

Highway 12 Winery

Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Great cab for ~$15! Bought at Richards Fine Wines and Liquors. — 5 years ago

Milagro

Napa Valley Syrah 1996

Lovely older Syrah fruit, plums mostly, also some pine notes, first commercial vintage of the Paloma Syrah (and only one labeled Milagro, a legal issue), medium-long finish, neutral oak, love it!! A tribute to the greatness of Barbara and Jim Richards!! — 5 years ago
