Everything a Rioja Reserva should be. Gracias Marqués!

Château De Montfaucon Baron Louis Lirac 2015, Ap

I spent all afternoon on Sunday cooking a cassoulet... when choosing which wine I'd open I came across this Côtes du Rhône in my newly arrived Wine Exchange shipment, and driven by impulse rather than thought I opened it. It paired very nicely. This CdR greets you with a predominantly red fruit nose, has lovely acidity in the palate, and a depth and length that you would expect to find in a much higher priced Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Potente 2016, Do Montsant

Nals Margreid Stein Sauvignon 2020, Alto Adige / Südtirol Doc

Chateau Du Moulin à Vent Couvent Des Thorins 2016, Moulin à Vent

Sometimes it is all about the pairing, the company, the moment. Midweek, at home, made a magret de canard, paired it with this very delectable gamay, and my wife and I just loved it.

Frédéric Brouca Samsó Seulle Old Vines Cinsault 2015, Vin De France

Interesting. Different. Very drinkable.

Stéphane Aviron Juliénas 2014

Aphros Loureiro 2015, Doc Vinho Verde

Very nice, with honey/citrus balanced hints that linger with subtlety. Chilled and paired with a bacalao (cod) stew Portuguese style.

Saint Cosme Côtes Du Rhône 2016

Was the first bottle I opened from the most recent case of the Wine Exchange, and it was excellent. Fruity yet dry Cotes du Rhone, that could have fooled you as Nord because it's not a GSM, just syrah..
