Barossa, Sonoma, Cote de Beaune, Rioja

 


2004 Branson Coach House Shiraz Single Vineyard Greenock Block
...This an insanely good bottle... WOTN for me... paired very tastily after dinner with Saint Angel cheese and 3 year aged gouda...

2001 Martinelli Pinot Noir Martinelli Vineyard Reserve
... beautifully elegant... mellowed so deliciously through the night ... more finessed than the 2001 Martinelli BSR that we had recently... probably the best bottle of this cuvee with a lot of age on it I've had... silly good paired with chargrilled whole Branzino

1998 Domaine Follin-Arbelet Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Clos du Chapitre
...Aloxe-Corton is a sentimental favorite for me ... showed really well...

2004 La Rioja Alta Rioja Gran Reserva 904
... lovely stuff... 

2013 Joseph Drouhin Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières
.... delicious with grilled oysters..
