I am only having one beer tonight, so it is good to have a liter glass. Super refreshing seasonal lager from Munich- naturally following the beer purity law! A good pairing for the east side heat wave! — 8 years ago

This overachiever was perfect with our chuck roast. A 2004 that has arrived at 13 years old with great texture as well as fresh cassis fruit. Very fine indeed! — 8 years ago

Domaine Parent

Estate Bottled Bourgogne Pinot Noir

Even simple Bourgogne, when done right is so damn moreish. We adventurously paired this with duck confit and lentils, what a success. As my dad said, it should have been a liter. — 8 years ago

Love Domaine Parent. Did a wine dinner with them early this year that was ridiculously good. They make a grand cru Corton blanc!!!! Insanely good.

Gary Westby

@Joe Lucca I am so glad you enjoy them too. I need to drink more of their stuff- especially Corton Blanc!

Bruno Colin

Morgeot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay

This went well with our grilled cheese- especially the Cotswold half. It is a very rich style with expensive tasting French oak and high quality lime flavors, but a little flat. I guess I just like Chablis best. — 8 years ago

Now I see '11. Surprised regarding lack of energy to wine.

Gary Westby

The prices are hot- 1/2 off. I scored this for $39.99. The acidity was a little lacking, a surprise for me too.

Anthony Piazza

Had a similar experience with this wine, good texture, but the mid palette was recessed.
