2018, very good with roast beef! Smooth, good taste, good sipping. Would like to try with cheese and see if it holds up
Would need a sharp cheddar. Repeat depending on price

Perrier-Jouët

Grand Brut Champagne Blend

Had this a while ago and wanted to try again. Perrier-Jouët, founded in 1811 in Epernay by Pierre-Nicolas-Marie Perrier and his wife, Adele Jouët. The firm began shipping wine to Great Britain in 1813 and to the United States by 1837. Bright straw with fine mousse and tiny bubbles, stone fruit and citrus aromas. The palate shows complex fresh fruit, vivid acidity, perfect balance on lingering finish ending with a yeasty mineral touch. Great value! A fav! Very nice! — 8 years ago

Hall Wines

Kathryn Hall Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

I thought long and hard about what I wanted to say about this wine. But...here goes. This has to be one of the worst QPR wines I've ever had, but I'm also taking into account how young this wine is. I have to remember that I'm rating the WINE here, but the price tag and hype just can't help but to get in the way. Drank over 6 days. Poured initially from Coravin and let sit for about an hour. I will tell you that I was excited initially, as the nose of this wine overpowered the grass fed beef burgers that were just cooked about 2 feet away from where the wine was being poured. DENSE blackberry and vanilla rolling out of the glass. The entry of this wine is silky, but also has that gritty Napa youthfulness. POWER. Fruit forward monster, ripe blackberry, graphite, mineral and spice rich middle with cherry blossom and finish with a very deep, dark core of blackberry, black pepper spice. The finish is where chocolate covered blackberries and minty notes come out, but the wine was still rather tannic. Developed a bit more after I uncorked it at the end of the week. I blind tasted my wife on this one who guessed that it was a '13 William Harrison cab (vineyard is only 2 miles away as the crow flies, maybe, although Hall's is elevated 750 feet). That cab is $50. This one still has a **LOT** of integrating to do which I am taking into consideration which is why the other bottle is locked up tight, and this one just might not have been on its A-game. — 8 years ago

In agreement with you and both @Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher and @Eric Shanks . I enjoy Hall wines, but not at their prices. Their sweet spot seems to be about $75.

The cheap stuff seems to be easier to acquire as well (I think I had to throw a few elbows to get these bottles, and now I just feel dirty!). I am pretty Hall-ignorant. Definitely not a bad wine but wishing I had the extra $300 QPR difference to do some more damage!

I signed up with their club last year, so I’ve had all of their wines, none of them are worth the QPR, the top ones are great, but you can get a 100 💯 point Maybach for half the price of their 100 pointer Rainin & other top tier wine which I cannot remember at this time🤔,
