Napa Valley Red Blend

Holy moly. The smoothest and most delicious red and its not finished aging yet. Dark fruit notes. — 5 months ago

I was offered this one but I declined, maybe that was a mistake 🤷🏼‍♂️

Domaine Bruno Clair

Les Véroilles Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir

Penultimate bottle of Bruno Clair Burg stash. Showing some maturity and fully about that floral rose Chambolle quality with that fungi, forest floor, crunchy fall leave action on top of ripe raspberries and cherries. Nice way to relax with an extra glass after almost burning down the house via flambéing mushrooms in cognac. — 3 years ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2017

Really complex, flavorful, but smooth red. Bolder & stronger flavor than the Penultimate (which i personally preferred) — 5 months ago

L'Argentier

Gres de Montpellier 2011

2011. Penultimate bottle of the nine I purchased. I was making a bacon, spinach, and goat cheese frittata for dinner and wanted a red wine to go with it… I thought Loire Cabernet Franc would be great, but there were none in my cellar (need to fix that), so this mellowed out Grenache blend worked great! — 3 years ago

The tear is mine as we finished this bottle. Bought a five pack on auction and this is the penultimate....oh well. Stupid pandemic! Great wine though. Amazing. — 4 years ago

Signal Ridge

The Princess & The Peasant Mendocino County Carignan 2016

Love the varietal just not sure about this wine is the penultimate expression. Takes some time to open up but once flowered it’s nice. A bit fruity but not overly so which is a plus for me. Smooth with a nice finish. — 4 years ago

Mongeard-Mugneret

Les Cras Vougeot 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2017

2017 vintage. Decanted, chilled down to upper-50's and tasted after one hour. Light-medium body. A small amount of barnyard funk that blew off quickly. Penultimate bottle. In a state of transition but showing well. Judicious fruit along with softening tannins. Silk pajamas. The Mongeard style runs a little lighter but results in plenty of delicate beauties. This one is no exception. 3.30.24. — 7 months ago

Typically not a fan of this estate - but it seems this did very well.

Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2012

Last one in the cellar. Penultimate bottle was back in Nov ‘18. Gave that a 9.1. Fruit is at the early stage of decline so I’d suggest to Drink Up. Paired it with grilled Italian chicken sausages and a simple green salad. La vita è bella! — 3 years ago
