Ghost Cellars Reserve 2017, Paso Robles, California

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, tobacco leaf, herbs, light oak, spices and licorice. Very aromatic nose.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, black currants, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco, chocolates, peppercorn, light earth, licorice, light eucalyptus and black tea.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 9 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Paso Robles is drinking beautifully now. Complex with a nice mouthfeel. Spicy and entertaining, tangy and interesting.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. After 3 hours, the nose is just beautiful.

I had it 4 years ago and decided to give it a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Still showing lots of fruits with great complexity. So much better now.

Drinking at its peak, and will continue to do so in the next few years.

A good sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Merlot.

13.4% alcohol by volume.

Lovely redfruit aromas, still seems quite youthful, rich and quite dense on the palate, spirit still hasn’t fully integrated, long, lingering finish, needs 10+ more years of cellaring! — 6 years ago

2019 vintage shared in Nov 2025. Nice fruit balance with astringent tannins and a very long ever-so-slightly spicy linger. Blueberry and green pepper. Very drinkable and held up well to a rib eye with rich gravy; did OK against a spicy rendition of sole, but only because of the spice (and necessity). — 9 months ago

Classic London Dry Gin made in Edinburgh, Scotland. Far from ordinary this gin very balanced and pack with 14 botanicals. Hints of Pine Nuts, Lemongrass and a Lavender finish. Kick back with your favorite G&T mix, act like a Brit, enjoy and have another.....Excellent. — 5 years ago

Lovely older Porto, seems consistent with my perception of Taylor as big structure, and a tad drier style, only nit might be that it seemed initially like the spirit and Porto were no longer in total harmony, but still really fine! — 6 years ago

A remarkable spirit, Tesseron’s Cognac Extreme is blended from eau de vies from 1860 through the early 1900s. It offers up scents of wild cherry, sage, mint, tobacco, cedar and sweet spice, all in a deceptively medium-bodied, refined style. The Extreme is intensely floral but also has quite a bit of depth and tons of character. I admire its graceful, layered almost ethereal personality. It is a contemplative, wonderfully dynamic Cognac to savor at the end of a meal. Terrific. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, December 2022)

Merry Christmas Eve-Eve!!! 🎄🎁🎅❄️🌟⛄️

Maybe, it’s the Christmas spirit and/or I really needed a good glass Rosé Champagne tonight but, I don’t recall this ever tasting better. Could simply be a better disgorgement? Ah, I’ll just say it’s Christmas Magic! Cheers! 🍾🥂

Shots around the house listening to our Christmas Eve Mix.

Yup, that’s my Wine Snowman! ⛄️

Be pairing this later with the Shari’s Chocolate Covered Strawberries that arrived today.
