| 2004 - Pingus Flor de Pingus |
| suggested by the french laundry |
| Aug 10, 2008 |
|
|
|
I enjoyed a half bottle of this wine at the French Laundry in June of 2008, while on an epicurean excursion through California's wine country. This wine was, by far, the best wine I tasted that week, before, or since. I am in love with the Pingus. It paired with everything nicely, deliciously full bodied but not overpowering or heavy.

| 2006 - Forefathers Sauvignon Blanc |
| Crisp Lemony White for August Nights! |
| Aug 04, 2008 |
|
|
| This Marlbourough white is zingy and bright with citrus, gooseberry and peachy flavors. I can't find much of a nose on it, but it explodes on the tongue and has a lucious finish. It has brisk acidity and begs for seafood, maybe a baked white fish fillet with a buttery crumb topping, or even take-out fish and chips! It is a bargain now at certain retailers, and makes my poor woman's list of really nice wines. |

| 1997 - Clos Pegase Cabernet Sauvignon Hommage Reserve |
| Wow, a 1997 That Exceeded Expectations |
| Aug 03, 2008 |
|
|
|
i've been a fan of clos pegase wines for a long time. particularly their "hommage" series of cabernets. i've collected them since 1988. they've always been absolutely marvelous. so, last night i was shopping in the wine room and my eyes beheld a bottle of the 97. i picked up the bottle with some skepticism because of all the negative press that the vintage had received over the past couple of years. WTF i thought, i think i'll check it out. so, i took the bottle inside and opened it and sniffed at the bottle edge. no evident flaws or mustiness emanating from the bottle itself. so, i got my favourite riedel stem and poured a taste. WOW and blow me down, this wine was amazing. a dark ruby red colour with a incredibly frooty nose that talked about cassis, black cherry and raspberries. as i gave it an adventurous sip, the aromas translated seamlessly into flavours on my palate and much to my surprise, there were unctious tannins that left the flavours lingering seemingly forever...
Five Rennies outta Five on this beauty. and i have another bottle to boot!!

| 2006 - Yellow Tail Chardonnay The Reserve |
| Light and Forgetful |
| Aug 03, 2008 |
|
|
|
With the stunning value of the Yellowtail Reserve Shiraz, we thought we would try it's Chardonnay counterpart, from the same year. But this Chard was so light, so basic, so uninteresting, I could hardly think of anything to say about it. Light body, light flavor, very shallow...no wood, no depth, no distinguishable Chardonnay flavors. Instead of pouring the remainder down the drain I'm going to reduce it to use in a sauce.

| 2005 - Shafer Vineyards One Point Five |
| Great wine, needs time... |
| Aug 02, 2008 |
|
|
|
| Dark and extracted. I'm wondering if this was finished in a sherry cask, because the nose had this sherry note to it. It also had black cherry, warm dirt and vanilla. In the mouth, a monster. Spicy and quite tight. If you're buying a bottle or two, keep your hands off it for 8-10 years. |

| 9998 - Mastroberardino Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio |
| I agree and One up you :) |
| Jul 29, 2008 |
|
|
|
| I agree that Mastroberardino does a great job with thier Lacryma but I tasted a Lacryma made by DigiOr and thought it added a bit of refining and a larger burst of red fruit and have moved to that one for now :) try it... its good too |

| 1995 - Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve |
| Jul 28, 2008 |
|
|
|
This sang right out of the bottle! Great deep crimson color. A beautiful nose of cassis, camphor and lilacs. The palate revealed amazing balance and breed, elegance and class. Wow. There were some fresh ground coffee beans, lead pencil shavings and soy all wrapped in a multi-layered dark fruit blanket. A long smooth finish beckons one back for a top-off. Wow. Started fading after an hour and a bit, but what an hour and a bit….This is what Bordeaux can only hope to be Did I say Wow? (94 pts.)

| 2004 - Australian Domaine Wines The Hattrick |
| Flavorful, soft and supple |
| Jul 20, 2008 |
|
|
|
| As a fan of Australian wines, this one caught my attention due to its blend. With 49% Shiraz, 46% Grenache, and 5% Cabernet, this wine delivers a hattrick of its own. The nose brings nice berry fruit aromas to the fore. Letting it breathe a bit after opening allows the immediate sense of alcohol dissipate. And then there's the taste. Soft and round, the wine coats the palate with concentrated red fruit flavors while making this wine an extremely easy drinker. If you can find it, give it a try. It runs around $40 but well worth it if you're into Aussie wines. |
