Domaine Charles Audoin

Bourgogne Aligoté 2020

WotN. With air this was a composite puzzle of herbs, yellow fruits, new album cover and petrol-stained fingers. Wow. — 2 years ago

Giuseppe Quintarelli

Riserva Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Superiore Corvina Blend 2011

Big flavors with big alcohol (16.5%) that doesn’t show. Feels like it’s going to go sweet, but finishes dry and dusty. A pleasant puzzle. — 3 years ago

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé

Les Amoureuses Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2005

The word that kept coming to mind was “precision”, as in laser-defined layers and puzzle pieces coming together perfectly, cleanly. Ornung. A range of deep and broad red berries, raspberry most prominent. Still obvious tannins, but again perfectly delineated in the 1 minute finish that just lingered. At the very beginning of a drinking window. — 5 years ago

Espiègle Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2017

This is the driest "Slooty" Crozes I have had in a long time. Its makes me feel as if I should slip it a $20 when Im done drinking it, for cab fair... Yet if you brush through the dirtiness. You come for a very fun puzzle of East, funk, and linear lazer kitten fur that makes you want to just pound it. — 6 years ago

Monprivato di Castiglione Falletto Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Double decanted and still needed an hr of swirling before letting us in. A puzzle still... This wine begs to be aged. — 7 years ago

Estate Grown Columbia Gorge Gamay 2019

Had it with Ravi and crew in the gorge and visited the winery then. Was perfect on a crisp day at an outdoor fire pit. And just as good at home watching Tv and doing a puzzle! — 5 years ago

Cantine Buglioni

(I'm) Perfetto Valpolicella Classico Superiore Corvina Blend 2015

Medium to full Valpolicella with just a hint of dried fruit and nice freshness. Licorice and cocoa nibs show with air. Went great with stuffed shells and puzzle solving. Solid QPR. — 6 years ago

Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

A taut puzzle to start. Better once decanted and given 30-45 minutes to open. Once through that rectification (it was yesterday’s word of the day) this baby was quite the ride. Beautifully fragrant and inviting. Not deeply dark in color but still richly deep purple. The fruit is layered and comes in waves. Dark fruit, blueberries lingering finish. I expected this to be a very good CA Cab. I was wrong this was special. Lots of resonating impulses here. Loved this. It was great. — 2 years ago

The Mascot

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

All the puzzle pieces were there, Royal DNA would come through blind. Even after a 45 min decant this was a bit closed, was wishing I waited longer on this one… Will score way higher in 4+ years. — 3 years ago

The Puzzle Spring Mountain Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

A tasty Napa Bordeaux blend, well made, slightly high toned and pushing the acidic side of the spectrum. That’s said, was quite enjoyable, but there are certainly others that are at least comparable if not better at this price point. — 6 years ago
