In honor of our dear friend Charles, greatest Chefs I’ve had the pleasure of sitting with over a cigarette and a couple good meals to discuss preparation and cooking fish at a high level

Profound and given, with a lot of things to say and layers of texture, a great 1981 - out of magnum

Big rich classic Unico. Still youthful and needs 10 to 15 years to reach maturity. Solidly constructed. Lovely nose and finish.

A little too much Brett on the nose, but a lovely wine on the palate-lithe and elegant

Amazed by Vega Sicilia. At #NYWE2015 we tasted the 2012-2010-2007-2002-96 and 81. An escalation of emotions. The last one was my vintage. What a gift! So happy!

First time in tasting my birth year and it was worth every sip. Layers of dark berries w/ earthy notes of tobacco and caramel.

Good. Better with food, not as much of a solo artist.

Another great bottle ! This is a great vintage and expression if the wine. Still very fruit driven but balance acidity.
