You know the scene in Frozen where Kristoff says he’s going to cry when he first sees Elsa’s ice palace? That’s exactly how I feel about this wine. — a month ago

A few days late but here is my annual tribute to Gustav Meier. He was loved dearly by six(?) decades of students and colleagues. As worldly and as sophisticated as he was, this great man had terrible taste in alcohol. There’s a Belgian style brewery near school where he would only order Coors Light from. His go to scotch was Cutty Sark. For wine, he preferred those gaudy Californian merlots that got deservedly dunked on in Sideways. Whenever I brought him a bottle of wine, I always got him a right bank Bordeaux. Perhaps my hints at how wonderful merlot can be were too subtle. It’s been nine years but we all miss him dearly. I may no longer be a conductor but I can still hear many teachings of his as if he is standing next to me. “Get out of their way and just trust them!” I need constant reminders of this invaluable piece of advice whether I am parenting or working with a client. Raise a glass for Gusti! — 5 months ago

Tannins showed up to Thanksgiving uninvited but was vouched for by the beverage director here. Quite yummy and it worked with everything. Even the turkey! — a year ago

Started the night with a $6 Sauvignon Blanc from the same maker. Just fantastic. At the end of the night, I ask for a good dessert wine and I get this 12 year old late harvest semillon grown in gravel. Unfiltered deliciousness. — 2 months ago

Remember the scene in Downton Abbey when Lady Mary Crawley has to jump in and save her pigs? That’s this wine. Bold, feisty, rich and strong. Won’t hesitate to get down and dirty when working. Will still have enough energy to cook you an omelette afterwards. I have no fucking clue if I’m making any sense… — a year ago

You will always grab my attention if you’re a wine from red mountain. The sommeliers here told me that people are now starting to realize how great these wines are. Find these wines and drink them now! — 2 months ago

Without a doubt, this is the wine my dad and I drank the most together. Costco always had it stocked and it was $8 back when he started buying it. Starting about 25 years ago, our tastes started to diverge. Yet every trip home, we could count on enjoying a glass together. I’ve had some great wine in my life and can get pretty jaded with a lot of wine out there. Los Vascos always delivers. And this is my first time having an older one. Tasted great after my dad’s 재사. The next day, the flavor just fell off a cliff. Anyways, we enjoyed drinking this and remembering SB together. — 5 months ago
