@ADAM STROMFELD @Frank @Kevin Ortzman Meri-Taaaah-gio!!! This older vintage showed great, not sure what happened to the more recent blends, but they could learn something from this style. @David L great late night choice from @Mike R ‘s cellar. — 7 years ago

Rita's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

As my friend @Martin G Rivard would say; Badass in a glass. Deep, dark fruit balanced nicely with earth and spice. Viscous for a Pinot. Keeps going and going. Wishing my Delectable crew a very Happy New Year, filled with peace, health, and happiness the entire year through. @Ron R @David L @Mike Rowe @Martin G Rivard @Carl Fischer @Eric Peltier @Eric Shanks @TheSkip @Erika Birg @Bill Bender @Paul T @Eric Peltier @Laura Mokhiber @Mo Salem @Jody Scharf @ADAM STROMFELD @Frank @Kevin Ortzman @Mike Goldstein @Bob Miller @Kimberly Anderson @Aminah Fawad @David Bettencourt — 8 years ago

Peterson Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

9.3

I am certain that my posse will smoke me tonight as they are at napa valley premiere auction so @David L @Joe Lucca and @ADAM STROMFELD go ahead do so - so damn jealous

I decided to pull this as I know it delivered in the past on other vintages so here we go

This is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon with 950 Cases produced

This has so many things it is hard to put them all in but taste vanilla, cherries with notes of toasty oak, espresso and a chocolate twist.

This baby has structure and is a true mid-palate cab with fine tannins with a looooong finish

This is essence of Big Bold and Beautiful and a really true statement of a Napa cab with a great winemaker at the helm as I feel Robert Foley is in my opinion am underrated wine maker

The smell contains aromas of sweet blackberries, cassis, forest floor, and spring flowers- this baby jumps from the glass to show you what a full-bodied, opulent, structured wine should be - textured, layered mouthfeel displays absolutely no burn - it is so ready to drink so enjoy and mindful that this might have another 5 years left

All smiles tonight

Hyde De Villaine

Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay 2011

Lovely old world white burg style. Paraffin, tangerine zest, oak, and white flowers on the nose. Sweet Meyer lemon, nectarine, peach, wet slate, and some lemongrass. Finishes nice and clean.

Wishing all the dads out there a very Happy Father's Day!

In der Sängerei Riesling 2015

9.1

It’s easy going…Petrol on the nose, with a wisp of honey. Quite soft, yet crisp on the palate. David pointed out the sugar, and it’s evident. This would pair nicely with foie gras. Tasing white peach and lemons on the finish. Moderate acidity - drinking window is now. — 5 years ago

Love this Riesling... had it at Alinea in Chicago last year with one of our courses! Thought it was excellent! Cheers

Yes, @Laith A. This was making itself small in our cellar. We have a few bottles left. Great with food or on its own.

Château Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1998

First growth SB cuz we country clubbin’. Viscosity and complexity for days. Light amber in the mid day sun, Yeasty wet barley aromatics, candied pear, marzipan and honey (yes! @David L you are spot on there). This isn’t for everybody and it doesn’t have light clean lines but it is a perfect representation of this Bordeaux blend and I enjoyed it while putting horrendously with @Mike R @Shawn R @David L it’s been so damn fun reconnecting with @Joe Lucca @Martin G Rivard @Carl Fischer @Kirk Alexander and meeting Rutgers finest @ADAM STROMFELD — 7 years ago

Les Clos Marsannay Pinot Noir 2012

Boom! Off the charts good and great QPR for white burg. White flowers, mandarin skin, white fig and honey on the nose. The palate explodes with apricot, tart apple, beeswax, and some toasted brioche. Crisp and complex mineral driven acidity, nicely balanced. Could use another year or three. @Martin G Rivard @David L try this side by side to the Texture. Thanks to @ADAM STROMFELD for the recommendation. — 8 years ago
