A Coravin taste of the wine to sample it for a friend's series of dinners next week.
The wine is okay and certainly drinkable, but nothing special. Crunchy red fruit, cherry and strawberry. A little tart. Not much mid-palatte. Better with the food. Definitely a Southern Hemisphere style.
Okay for $15 but I wouldn't run out and buy a case. And I am not sure how James Suckling got 92 points. Maybe grade inflation?

Sorry for the delay in responding but I have been behind my time lately, as you might see from my recent postings whereby I have been catching up with all my notes for the past year or so. Since you are near NYC, what is going on with Sherry-Lehmann? I used to shop there years ago when I would visit the City, but it appears all is chaos now with the FBI involved and lawsuits a plenty! Any local insight? Thanks John

I like your notes on Robert Mueller, Walker Station, and Cline Zinfandel.

Do you like Left Bank resto? Just made a reservation. Can you compare it to L'Artusi (also West Village)? We love the latter, but $40 corkage is high.
