Fabulous. Paired with lobster. Fresh and refreshing. Right up there with Cristal and Pol Roger Winston Churchill as my favorite champagne. — 2 years ago

The bottled aged considerably since the last time I drank, was much bigger in profile than I remember and was more Krug and Sir Winston Churchill like this time around with still all of the minerality you could ask for. Love me the Agrapart! — 4 years ago

Delicious! Apricots, straw, brioche, and lemon zest. Still partial to Kristal, but this is way up there. On a par with Pol Roger Winston Churchill (although a different flavor profile). — 6 months ago

Lovely NV Brut Friday from England, tiny bubbles, this is quite fine and lovely, opened to accompany my crazy wife’s order of local caviar (Sacramento has a local producer — Sterling) who farm raises sturgeon, which is great, and of course caviar, which I’m not really wild about myself). Ergo this Winston while the rib roast does it’s thing on the Weber!! LOL — 5 years ago

26 degrees rainy evening in Singapore! Fresh lively citrus champagne and a hint of pandan. Went Super well with black pepper and deep fried salted egg crabs, local Singapore style of course! If only Winston Churchill did the same. — 6 years ago

Actually the 19. Smells like honeydew and honeysuckle, and like an Arnold Palmer a little bit. Has a creamy middle, beautifully delineated structure and a surprising amount of heft. But not negative, obese heft, like a Winston Churchill heft — 6 years ago

At Come Taste The Stars Dinner hosted by Tyson Stelzer. Another 60/40 Pinot Noir/Chardonnay balance. More floral aromatics than the Winston. Similar to the 1996 vintage in many respects but a one week delay in picking over 1996 to gain better ripeness. Other differences were no malo in 1996 and for 2008 16% Malo. Also more oak influence in 2008 - 3% to 22%. 9 years on Lees. Tyson said it will not attain its full potential until 2038 and go on for another 20 years after that Great freshness minerality and tension. Tyson said this was the greatest Cristal he has ever had. At Montrachet Restaurant. — 7 years ago

Solid bottle. Juicy dark fruit that didn’t cross the line. Meaning not over extracted and not old school either. — 6 months ago

15 years in the making. A marvelous way to ring in the new year. Excellent, but I’ll still take Cristal, Krug, or Pol Roger Winston Churchill over this. — 2 years ago

I love that wine is a universal form of expression, capable of crossing oceans and connecting us to a different time. I love how wine is a confluence of art and science that can add a magical dimension to just about every experience.

This past summer, my husband and I, along with our friend Winston, registered for a WSET Level 3 Award in Wines class and exam. We proceeded to devote countless hours to learning about different viticultural and vinification processes and their impact on the resulting style and quality of wine; learning about old and new world regions and subregions, their histories, geographies, topographies, soil, latitudinal positioning, wine laws, terroir, noteworthy winemaking techniques and innovations, legendary winemakers and merchants, and varietals. We tasted wine after wine, learned and practiced the Systematic Approach to Tasting Wine (SAT), and explored regional varietals we’d never heard of previously.

We were welcomed into communities, groups, and gatherings, where we were mentored and supported by true and inspiring wine experts.

And, with gratitude, I’m thrilled to report we (all three of us) passed the WSET Level 3 exam with honors; I passed it with distinction.

Cheers to the amazing world of wine!! The more I learn about you, the more I love you and realize I still barely know you. I’ve just scratched the surface of your depths. — 5 years ago
