An excellent strong Barolo. Great colour and fragrance, quite a bold flavour. Perfect with a steak (I wouldn’t drink this on itself).

Chateau Pierredon
Monday, March 23rd, 2009
Vintage: 2005
Type: Claret (Merlot with Cabernet Blend)
Country: France – Bordeaux
Another great Bordeaux from 2005. Medium-bodied and lovely on the tongue.
Chateau Les Ragottes
Friday, March 20th, 2009
Vintage: 2005
Type: Claret (Merlot with Cabernet Blend)
Country: France – Bordeaux
This was a very good red with great flavour. Great oak tones and a lovely colour. Recommended. Apparently this was a great vintage year for Bordeaux.
Champagne Colin
Friday, March 6th, 2009
Vintage: non-vintage
Type: Champagne
Country: France
First things first, I’m note really a Champagne drinker. That being said, this is an excellent bottle and it was a pleasure to drink. I’m not sure how easy it is to get outside of France, but if you like dry champagne this is a good choice. What really impressed me with the bottle was how plentiful and tiny the bubbles were.
Bock Ermitage
Wednesday, December 24th, 2008
Vintage: 2006
Type: Blend
Country: Hungary – Villany
An excellent Hungarian wine, if a bit expensive. One of Hungary’s most famous vineyards in their premiere wine region this mixed red ( Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Syrah and others) aged in oak before being bottled. Great to drink and a fine example of Hungarian wine.
Casillero del Diablo – Cabernet Sauvignon
Monday, November 10th, 2008
Vintage: 2005
Type: Cabernet Sauvignon
Country: Chile
This is a great wine, and won an award for this year. It is fruity and full with a great balanced taste. Recommended.
Maison Benedetti Châteauneuf-du-pape
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008
Vintage: 2005
Type: Châteauneuf-du-pape
Country: France – Rhône
One of the only white wine reviews you’ll see on this site, mainly because I’m not really a fan. I will say that this white is superb, rich and oaky with an excellent taste.
BTW, not many people know that you can get a white Châteauneuf-du-pape. You can find it, but the production is very small.
