original price tags in tact! a fantastic 6-pk for $87.45CDN...(those days long gone!) The wines (while not all perfect) provided insight into a bygone era (and consumed to last drop!) #Branaire #Carbonnieux #L’Angelus #LaMissionHautBrion #DucruBeaucaillou #CalonSegur

chalk, ancient sea shells, granite, stones/clay and limestone marl… that was some excellent champagne, steely chablis, rhône titans and distinguished bordeaux for lunch… truly an amazing world we live in.. 😉

#12564 doesn’t suck !! Just the right blend of old world/new world. Youth/maturity. This bottle be done! #JeanLouisChave #Hermitage #RhôneVallée

Ha! label design not priority here, thankfully “quality” is! ‘73 was good, but appreciated more with nod to nostalgia. beyond its drinking window today. ‘09 excellent. in a sweet spot today and expect improvement ahead. #ChateauGloria #SaintJulien #Bordeaux #FrenchWine #GoodValue

This was a big deal. Great Port houses, great vintage, perfect timing to compare. It’s good to have friends with great cellars!… instagram.com/p/BmFAtGIgv5S6…

Red Mountain grenache! This beauty hit the spot..classic grenache profile: sweet rasp/strawberry jam, flowers, white pepper. Good finesse through a juicy/fruity palate; drinking well now slightly chilled. Bravo Larry and Jane! #Tapteil #RedMountainAVA #Grenache #WashingtonState

Hang in there baby! Rustic nose of porcini, leather, earth, tobacco and coffee. Med. body, resolved tannin, acidity keeping it fresh. #Tignanello #Antinori #Tuscany #SuperTuscan #Italy #Sangiovese #CabernetSauvignon

Wow! The good folks at Col Solare confidently demonstrate how aging benefits their flagship. Softened by age and drinking beautifully this ‘96 is in a great spot today. Bravo! #ColSolare #PieroAntinori #ChateauSteMichelle #RedMountain #CabernetSauvignon #LearningFromTheBest

fine aromas & flavours this is in a fine place. ripe fruit floods palate, tannins ripe, successfully balancing sweetness and tannin w/ just the faintest hit of medicinal complexity. an excellent vintage port overall. #Niepoort #OportoVintage #Douro #1997

written off, but showing very well. a trip down memory lane. demure autumn leaf, cedar and currant. relatively low brett level. soft tannins, respectable finish, a privilege; but if you have any, drink up. #DucruBeaucaillou#SaintJulien#Gratitude#MerciBeaucoup
