Impressive Napa Cab from the era when they could age for more than five years before losing much of their charm.

Have you discovers Baden's Pinots yet? If not, here's one you might want to start with! My only caution is to alert you to the small"CS" you see here below the vintage date - that little symbol is the only visible oxidation separating this wine from its less expensive sibling. Tart red cherries and spice notes reminiscent of Santa Cruz Mountains Pinots! — 10 years ago

The app misidentified this wine has a Chardonnay. It is the Sparkman Riesling. — 10 years ago

Grauer Burgunder by any other name would be as Pinot Gris! (or would it be Pinot Grigio?) A delicious version of this ubiquitous global variety from Germany's Baden region (Ortenberg). — 10 years ago

One of my favorite domestic Rieslings. Bigger bodied wine than most Riesling, but with great acidity and intriguing spice notes. Four clones from different vineyards. — 10 years ago

Still youthful. Definitely a new world pinot, but a delicious example of the style. The Magnum once again proves is superiority as an aging vessel! — 9 years ago

Great value from the Kiwis! This sparkling Rose is a blend of CH (52%) and PN (48%). Red fruits dominate, though it finished dry, clean and crisp. — 10 years ago

This N.V. "Grand Reserve" from grower-producer Jean Milan shows a fine bead of bubbles and mouth-watering acidity balanced by a subtle yeastiness that belies is 8 prior to bottling. — 10 years ago
