Decent Syrah-Grenache blend from the south of France with a little bit too much heat to deserve a higher score. Tasted February 2015.

Very nice, rich Pinot Gris, at its best when chilled and decanted a bit. Good bet for the holiday parties. Tasted November 2014.

Great wine and I totally agree with Bill's advice to let it decant for a few hours. It took 3 hours of decanting before I fully enjoyed it. Consider this wine for special occasions. Tasted September 2015.

Domaine Cauhapé Chant Des Vignes Dry Jurancon 2013, Ac
Southwest, France
$16.95

Impressive wine but not necessarily a crowd pleaser. When you start drinking it, it tastes like a Sauvignon Blanc...but then the acidity kicks in... All in all, a high quality wine. Tasted July 2015.

Castelgreve Chianti Classico Riserva 2009, Docg Bottle
Castelgreve Chianti Classico Riserva 2009, Docg

$19.95

Authentic Chianti Classico and better. Going Riserva truly makes a difference. Decant 30 to 60 minutes for optimal enjoyment but not much more than that. Tasted May 2014.

Rutherford Ranch Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Napa Valley Bottle
Rutherford Ranch Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Napa Valley

$49.95

Nice Cab' that opened up after an hour of decanting, but definitively not worth $50. I was expecting more complexity. Tasted January 2016.
