Oliver's Vineyrard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Very lean on the nose, red rocks and Syrah-like olive tapenade. Brambly black fruit, vanilla (a hint, would never guess it’s 100% new oak), a core of cassis. Tannins are still quite grippy. — 3 years ago

Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2018

Blackberry jam, green and black pepper, olives, salami, violets, lavender, and deliciousness. Develops over 2 hours. Stunningly deep and rich, could age much much longer. — 3 years ago

Château Le Grand Moulin

Collection Grande Réserve Blaye Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Smoky black and red berries, pencil shavings, potting soil, and slightly bitter dark chocolate. Firm structure that needs food. Long dry finish. I very rarely drink Bordeaux but this was recommended and really delivered. — 3 years ago

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Creamy, cheesy, butter aged oakey, with tones of friendship. Would go well with a camembert, would accept a brie.. — 3 years ago

Matthiasson

California Rosé Blend 2021

Is there a better rosé out there? Seriously, let me know if you have a suggestion because this stuff is flames and hits at just 11.5 ABV which is arguably the most important quality in a pink wine. — 3 years ago

A pairing that never disappoints. — 3 years ago
