Domaine Garon

Les Triotes Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2016

Really great cooperage work here, nicely integrated and compliments the wine well without showing itself too much. Imprint of the vintage evident in the lift and freshness coupled with a nice compact palate of fruit and earth. I think ‘16 will age forever. Crushed strawberries and raspberries, huge notes of crushed granite and iron, intensely so. Spices and forest round it out. Beautiful wine — 4 years ago

Paired with organic sirloin (a little too gamey IMO) but the wine actually compliments well and makes up for it. Cherry, licorice, and smoke with a touch of old world acidity. Really dig this wine! Not your typical Rioja. — 5 years ago

Long Shadows Vintners

Feather Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Mr Dunn has another hit! I’m a red fanatic with no shame. But it truly compliments the strong Long Shadows Collection with it’s intense starting notes and light finish. — a year ago

Domaine de la Charbonnière

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2019

At Steak 48 in Philadelphia. This beautiful wine compliments our aged ribeye with warmth, subtlety, gentle sophistication, a little berry and leather, and a slight herbal floral at the end. It’s all around elegant, much like my Karl Lagerfeld dress. Muah! — 2 years ago

Château de Roquefort

Corail Côtes de Provence Grenache Rosé Blend 2019

This wine is more about the setting it compliments than the flavors it resembles. A fire pit on a crisp autumn night with friends - hits the spot.

If flavor is more your style, orange peel and tart red berries. I paired it with s’mores and a flannel shirt.

Paltrinieri

Radice Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC Lambrusco

A crowd pleaser for a hungover day. Drier than expected, not the typical-typical Lambrusco in the right way. Compliments spice and mayo exceptionally.

It’s Lambrusco flavored. No major or minor notes, just exactly what you’d expect in a less expected package.

Château Labégorce-Zédé

Margaux Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1983

Age coming forward, sweet tobacco, fresh leather, cedar and with cooked blackberry and red cherry. Words can't do it justice it's almost singing from the glass with still a nice black pepper note and a wonderful earthy mushroom note.

The tannins have really mellowed out. Still a fantastic acidity and all working in balance on the palate all those flavours coming through with a roasted meat that compliments well. An almost mint fresh feel with its lengthy finish.

The wine is in its prime and goes down so well.

The hype of aged wine can be justified when it's like this. A real treat and superb right now, I would be scared to let this go much further.

Domaine des Perdrix

Aux Perdrix Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2013

Harmonious blend of funk and fruit. This earthy, barnyard wine compliments the bing cherry perfectly. There is enough acid to wipe the palate clean leaving one thirsting for more. — 5 years ago
