Ayler Kupp
Spätlese Riesling 1989
Really well balanced. High acidity with enough residual sugar that everything is just harmonious. Ripe stone fruit, bright candied citrus, honey, floral notes, and petrol. Amazing wine. Paired with mixed spicy asian salads. Total win. — 10 years ago
Domaine de la Chevalerie
Diptyque Dernier Cri Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2012
Great cab franc. Very simple but well balanced. Good dark red fruit and an acidity that lends a juicy tone to a fairly well structured wine. If you can get it for less than 20 bucks do it. But drink it soon and with friends. Grabbed the 2012 vintage from chambers street wines. — 10 years ago

Les Capriades Pet' Sec Chenin Blanc Cabernet Franc 2013
Damien Coquelet
Vieilles Vignes Vermont Chiroubles Gamay 2009
Fantastic. Nice blend of good young gamay red fruit with a touch of age. Low but present tannin and elevated acid made this a great food wine. I had it with zucchini parmigiano but could have done well with most food (including a touch of heat) — 9 years ago
Clos du Joncuas
Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2005
Great expressive rhone red. Bright black fruit, tabacco, spice notes. Tannic but well softened with age. Great food wine (mutton with red wine sauce for me). if it were double the price it would still be a value. — 10 years ago
Andy Paynter
Beautiful wine. Could be used as a serious pairing for rich fatty pork or chicken dishes (pork with roasted apples and brown butter tonight for me) or simply as a "glou glou" wine. Light bright cherries lifted by peach blossums and considerable acidity. Could age but i dont have the will power. Slight chill and get at it. — 9 years ago
