Château de Beaucastel

Hommage à Jacques Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2000

This was my rating 6 years ago. A perfect 10. Now, I’d say (and thanks Spinal Tap) an 11! Thanks Lenny for an awesome dinner:
The nose immediately established this CDP as royalty, and the palate followed accordingly. Silky smooth, big and round. Black fruit, Asian spice, black truffles. Pure as heck, layered with so much going on while your nostrils are sending your brain unseen before signals of red flowers, bacon frying and fairy dust. Should not have been better than the ‘01 but it was unanimous winner blind.

Pokolbin Estate

Ken Bray Sémillon 2008

Freshness that must be hiding some sweet side
It is a chase
Pretty fleshy and low alcohol
It keeps going
I think I could drink a barrel...opppssss....it has never got into a barrel
Well, I will drink it from the tap!!
Searing minerality
Maybe not yet very complex, but so enjoyable ❤️

Pasanau

Ceps Nous Priorat Grenache 2013

Super dark and at first glance would look to be acidic, but very smooth for a Granache. Slight tannic kick, more like a gentle tap. Tobacco and dark fruit: plum, fig and dark cherry. But a bottle now! — 9 years ago

De Proefbrouwerij (bvba Andelot)

To Øl Snowball Saison Farmhouse Ale

Barrel aged saison in white wine barrels on tap at mikkeller SF. Fantastic beer. Rich creamy mouthfeel with amazing malt, but a great tartness and funk to balance it out. For a beer with so much going on (dry hopped, saison, white wine barrels) it is insanely well balanced. Perfect Christmas time beer. — 10 years ago

Château Le Grand Faurie

Saint Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

2020 vintage. Investigating +-$20 red Bordeaux, part two. PNP. Some decent depth for the price. Medium body. Good concentration. A little, minty note amongst the chunk. Finish hangs in there for a spell. In this price range, would tap this again. 5.28.24. — 2 years ago

Magnum 2008 Peter Michael Point Rouge Chardonnay. Dinner at Tap w S&L DiM and P&S Co. Super. Loved especially at Susie and Lydia- the Chardonnay lovers. Not overly oaky- just rich and oaky enough to know it's a CA Chardonnay, but not so much that it's buttery and too rich in oakiness. Enjoyed. — 10 years ago

Sandlands

Sonoma County Trousseau 2015

Love this wine. Would have a keg on tap, if possible. Perfect combo of lightness supported with a solid skeleton and sinewy muscle. Dusty red fruits with a bit of grip. Pleasing in the most positive meaning of the word. — 6 years ago

1990 DRC Richebourg. Lunch at Tap while DS was visiting. Drank this side by side to the 1985 Griotte-Chambertin. Hard to pick a fave- they were very different. This one had much more fruit and texture to it and I might have favored it slightly. — 8 years ago
