2016 Kirkland Signature Chablis 1er CruChardonnay more |
4/19/2019 - mhenry wrote: NRI want to weigh in what a great value this wine is. It's a fraction of the price I normally spend, and it works fine as an every day sipper. I thought about pouring it into a nicer bottle so friends wouldn't be influenced by the label, but I just serve and don't say anything. At this price I don't mind opening a bottle for any reason. |

2014 L'Aventure OptimusPaso Robles Willow Creek District Red Blend more |
12/30/2018 - mhenry Likes this wine: NRI read everyone's recommendation to allow some air time so I decanted for 3 hours. This made a big difference, and the wine opened up nicely. Paired well with NY steak. |

6/17/2018 - mhenry Likes this wine: NRI agree with earlier reviewers: this is drinking well right now and I wouldn't hold it more than two or three more years. |

2009 Tom Scott Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Barn BurnerSt. Helena more |
11/11/2017 - mhenry Likes this wine: NRWow, what a difference from last night's bottle. Same vintage, purchased and stored together. I guess bottle variation. Last night's was just OK, but this one is what I expected. A very good wine. |

2009 Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock TerraceDiamond Mountain more |
4/8/2017 - mhenry Likes this wine: NRFrom a 375ml bottle. Quite a bit of sediment present. I'd probably plan to drink any 375's within a year or two. Delicious wine. |

2012 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Russian River Valleymore |
1/7/2017 - mhenry Likes this wine: 93 pointsThe wine was excellent tonight. I thought it was the best of the '12 vintage we've had to date. Perhaps it was the long decant, perhaps the extra aging, or the food pairing (salmon quiche). A delightful dinner. |

2012 Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon BrothersAlexander Valley more |
11/2/2016 - mhenry Likes this wine: 91 pointsReally softened since it was first released. It might continue to develop, but I'd drink in the next couple of years. |

2010 Beringer Vineyards Quantum Red WineNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/17/2016 - mhenry Likes this wine: 91 pointsFirst time we've tried this wine, and we were happy with it. Just a touch of sweetness. A good value, it drank like a more expensive cab. |

2013 Lewis Cellars Chardonnay SonomaRussian River Valley more |
7/6/2016 - mhenry Likes this wine: 90 pointsConsistent with previous bottles. We had it with a turkey dinner and I thought it was a little too big for the meal. Perhaps this is better paired with appetizers. |

2010 Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon Brothers RidgeAlexander Valley more |
6/19/2016 - mhenry Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis was a pretty big wine. Seemed still a bit young and needed decanting. With air time and paired with ribeye steaks it was quite good. |

2011 Denner The Dirt WorshipperCentral Coast Syrah Blend, Syrah more |
5/31/2016 - mhenry Likes this wine: NRLess sweet than Denner's estate Syrah. A little more earthy. Not bad at all, but I prefer the Syrah to this. |

5/29/2016 - mhenry wrote: NRYIKES! Not what I expected, and not like any other Booker wine I've had. Tannic and harsh. I've got to find something else for tonight, and think about what might pair better with this. This may have become an expensive cooking wine. |

2009 Tom Scott Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Barn BurnerSt. Helena more |
5/8/2016 - mhenry Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery nice wine, enjoyed by all. Big but everything was well balanced. It's ready to drink now, but will improve with more time. We're not planning on holding for too long: probably will drink remaining bottles over the next two years. |
