Coriole Redstone Shiraz 2007, Mclaren Vale, South Australia

Domaine Belle Les Pierrelles Crozes Hermitage 2007, Ac

had one in summer 2015 with Kathy & Greg, by the pool, with snacks, was not impressed, seemed bland but maybe it was a poor match, needs a rich meal or something....can't remember second one, but impression wasn't much different I suspect....leave last one to 2017 and have with lamb shanks or something like that
...having last one now in July 2018, with pizza, very tame yet enjoyable....mixed feelings about this one over time

Le Sughere Di Frassinello 2007, Igt Maremma Toscana

Aug 2020......have a pretty clear recollection of drinking this....was drinking it late, perhaps in 2018 so was worried it would be bad but was pleasantly surprised by it, still good and went well with whatever it was that I was having that day (maybe a Maunder's meal..Osso?).

Blue Mountain Gold Label Brut Sparkling, Traditional Method, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia

D'arenberg The Footbolt Shiraz 2007, Mclaren Vale, South Australia

loved the first & second bottle when it was younger but not so much this last one (Jan/15) - found it sweet & hot - perhaps my tastes have changed over the years?

Colomé Estate Malbec 2008, Calchaquí Valley, Salta

dont remember a thing about this one. In fact by my standards of today I wouldn't have bought in the first place....a little pricey for the description and score. Hope i enjoyed!

Viña Mayor Reserva 2004, Doc Ribera Del Duero

had 2 but don't remember drinking (4/19)

The Paring Red 2006, Santa Ynez Valley

(3)
Made by Screaming Eagle if I recall correctly (same Vintner that makes Jonata)

1st one decent/ok, was hoping for more, better half enjoyed. (89)

Dec 21....just updating as these last 2 bottles long gone. Decent wine but didn't blow me away. I remember Tina enjoying this wine.

Saltram Mamre Brook Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, Barossa Valley, South Australia

June 2019....have had several over this vintage over the years and enjoyed them each time (probably bought 6), this time however you could tell it was past its peak. Despite this it was still very drinkable and its quality still obvious. I had with meatloaf but this wine needed something richer as it was very full bodied. Always been a good winery.

Bonterra Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Mendocino County
