9.0

2013 vintage. This is the style of chardonnay I appreciate. Burgundian in character. Lemon, citrus fruit, with mineral core and bright acidity. The touch of oak lends a softening hand to the high tones. Very good. — 10 years ago

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1983

9.6

1983 vintage. Wasn't sure what to expect and was thoroughly surprised and taken with how well this was drinking. Aromas of mushroom and graphite. Plenty of fruit still here with good tannic grip. Held up in the glass to the last drop! — 10 years ago

Great everyday Cremant de Loire. Persistent tiny bubbles, with more heft and mouthfeel than a Prosecco or Cava. — 10 years ago

2011 vintage. Another example of why I love Oregon Chardonnay. Aromas of pear and apple with hints of oak and spice. On the palate fruit is balanced with a mineral core and good acidity. — 10 years ago

8.9

1997 vintage. Surprised at how tight it was. Didn't get a chance to decant as long as I wanted so possibly needed more time to open up. Was a bit rugged. The power was masking the fruit. — 10 years ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2001

This wine is always a delight. Ripe tropical fruit flavors on the front framed with vibrant acidity and a mouthwatering finish. Don't come here for an oaky chardonnay.
