Domaine Acer Charles Aimé Robert 10 Year

If you enjoy the odd Port, you'll enjoy this.

Buil & Giné Giné Giné 2016

Chateau Puech Haut Saint Drezery Prestige Rouge 2018, Ap Languedoc

Remelluri Rioja Reserva 2011

Domaine Couroulu Vacqueyras Cuvée Classique 2017, A.O.C. Vacqueyras

Gorgeous Southern Rhône finesse. My only "regret," is that I could have easily waited another five years and it would be even better.

Creation Sauvignon Blanc 2017, Walker Bay

Laurus Saint Joseph 2014, Ap

Ah the Northern Rhone! Saint Joseph might be half way up the region's "prestige ranking," but when you come across a wine like this, it goes straight to "Best Syrahs list." Northern Rhones of higher reputation will cost you so much more, begging the question: is the difference worth it? (Hint: sometimes a simple Crozes Hermitage, chosen as the house wine in a Bouchon in Lyon, tastes like the best you'll ever have)

Dido La Universal Montsant 2019, D.O. Montsant

Marqués De Murrieta Finca Ygay Reserva 2012, Doca Rioja

Livio Sassetti Pertimali Brunello Di Montalcino 2009
