Gigondas Domaine Santa Duc 2005
Santa Duc's high end. The best Gigondas I've ever had. Though I have yet to have Brunier's.
-
Calera Reed Pinot Noir 2008
Candied berry awesomeness. Lively acidity with a lovely hint of forest floor funk. Ho lee shit.
-
Calera Red Table Wine Pinot Noir
Check this jewel out. 1997 "Red Table Wine" Calera Pinot. Badass! Signed by Josh Jensen himself.
-
Tikal Patriota 2010
Killer. Malbec and Bonarda. The patriot grapes of Argentina. Rustic elegance. Personality that fills the room.
-
Perrin & Fils Vinsobres Les Cornuds
Great CdR Villages. Nice fruit and a touch of pepper.
-
Domaine Santa Due Gigondas 2008
Seriously, the 08 red rhones are drinking splendiferously. Even this guy was delicate enough for shear enjoyment.
-
Domaine Seguin Pouilly Fame 2008
Quiet. Subdued. Took a while for her to come out of her shyness but when she opened, lees and apricots and chalk dust.
-
Cote Roteie 2005
She's a beauty this one. Big and full. Rich but maybe a bit young. Warms the cockles.
-
l'Elephant 2006
Youthful, vibrant. Corks been out for an hour and she's just opening up...
-
Calera Reed Pinot Noir 2008
Always a classic and one of my very favorite Chardonnays. Better even then some Montrachets.
-
Domaine De Fontsainte Corbieres 2009
Very cool corbieres from KL. tons of fruit with a pleasant acidity. Charming.
-
La Font Du Vent Signargues 2009
50% Grenache 50% Syrah. Nice velvety tannins, pepper, nice wine, reminiscent of Gigondas.
-
Aries Pinot Noir
An enigma. Wrapped in a conundrum.
-
2007 Paul Hobbs Syrah
Day 3. Tobacco smeared Ferrari leather and cassis. Heady and vibrant with go-for-broke fruit. BALANCE is the word here.
-
Persia Fondreche 2009
Day 4 and it was beautiful. Waves of fruit and tannins like a warm blanket.
-
Domaine Belle Crozes Hermitage Cuvee Louis Belle 2007
Still very tight. Probably a bit young but it came around after a bit. Will be beautiful in 5-7 years. Great wine.
-
Bramere Vina Cobos 2010
Huge Chard from Argentina. Creamy, butter capped chewiness. Usually not a fan of the style but this has great balance.
-
Joseph Drouhin Batard Montrachet 1991
Previous wine. Better pic. 1991. Alive and well.
-
Joseph Drouhin Batard Montrachet 1991
Still alive. Still kicking. Not bad for being a forgotten liquor store find. Good acidity, some fruit, buttered popcorn.
-
Pierre Peters Champagne Grand Cru
My Blancs de Blancs for tonight. Also have a rose and a Meunier dominated champ from Geoffroy. Happy New Year!

Domaine Santa Duc Gigondas 2007
Can't wait to get you home and do dirty, naughty things to you.
