Wagon Train

Paola Sordo

Barolo Nebbiolo 2017

2017 vintage. Last tasted 01.27.25 (9.2). Good primer/introductory Barolo for those unfamiliar/scared. Some fruit. More structure but never too much as to force the villagers to flee. Excellent, crushable Barolo now (and for the next half-decade) and the price comes in on the weekday train vs the weekend edition. 05.14.25. — a month ago

Bodegas Izadi

Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2015

First taste (just after opening the bottle) hit like a freight train.
When allowed to open up and breathe for a few minutes, great taste of leather, tobacco and oak. Went great with an entrecote and provence-flavoured potatoes!

Enjoyed the ‘13 so much last night, figured the ‘11 would be a perfect bottle to open on the train to Paris! — 6 years ago

Côte Bonneville

Train Station Estate Bottled Yakima Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Perfect with Pat’s grilled New York strip steak ($27). Classic CS: acidic, aromatic with balanced fruit and smooth finish. — 3 years ago

Cullen Wines

Mangan Vineyard Red Blend 2002

Cullen Mangan at 18 years - superbly delicious and reintegrated compared to where it was at 10 years old. The Malbec and Petit Verdot still seem to oxidize at different rates upon opening, but each stop on the train is interesting and delicious. At about an hour out it is scrumptious. Well crafted and worth laying down for a good long while — 5 years ago

Clos De La Roilette

Clos de la Roilette Fleurie Gamay

Vintage 2020 | I bought lamb racks and Angus burgers for the barbecue, so I need a real good wine to partner. Beautiful Kirsch liquor in smell. Concentrated taste with wagon loads of fruit. 🌞🍀💥 — 3 years ago

Swagger Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

9.1

This one comes on like a freight train. Gobs of fruit attack the palate complimented by juicy sweet tannins. Really enjoyed this and a solid value for a TRB Cab. 👍🏻 — 5 years ago
