Great bargain in sparkling wine from the Bourgogne (Burgundy) region of France. It uses the same fermentation method as Champagne and has nice soft bubbles. . Not too tart or sweet. Lovely to sip. — a month ago

Lucious Napa red blend that is over the top. Unsure of which grapes were used, but the current vintage has Cab, Malbec, Petite Verdot and Syrah. Taste some pepper and possibly some Zin in the 2017. At 8 years old it was very smooth and paired wonderfully with red meat, including prime rib. The nose was such that it required multiple sniffs. Very flavorful wine. Drank in April 2025. — 4 months ago

Wonderful Napa Cab from Patland. At 8 years old needed to breathe a bit. Full bodied, yet very smooth. Paired beautifully with a fillet, but could pair with anything. Lots of dark chocolate on the palate. Drank in July 2025 — a month ago

8.7

Lovely wine from the Campania region of Southern Italy made primarily with the Aglianico grape with Cabernet Sauvignon. Fragrant nose and long lingering taste of tart cherry. Pairs well with red sauce pasta, but also hold its own with red meat such as filet Mignon. Drank February 2025. — 6 months ago
