2/21/22, 5:00 PM - Excellent review, thank you! Your slight bit of strawberry is extremely perceptive. I had exactly the same experience tonight. Fascinating, delicious wine! Best $11 I’ve ever spent.
7/31/20, 8:53 PM - Spectacular note, thanks! Very similar experience tonight.
7/1/20, 7:39 AM - Lucky you! Hope you'll enjoy it! If the bottle's in good shape I'm sure you will. It was lighter and more elegant than I expected - perhaps don't pair it with something too too big and rich! My friend's sauce for the steak was not heavy/creamy, and it was lovely with that.
5/21/20, 8:31 PM - Birth year here too! What have been some of your favorites? Two of my favorite Cali 80's were Matanzas Creek and Johnson Turnbull.
5/22/20, 7:45 AM - Thanks for that, it's super interesting and I'll keep my eyes open for those! Funny you should mention Nevada City Winery, I had a bottle of their 1989 Nebbiolo (!) a few months ago and really enjoyed it. It was a 500mL bottle, as I recall. Not sure I would have been able to blind nebbiolo, it had lots and lots of fruit! Googling didn't give me much info about the winery. And I've found Petite Sirah to be quite age worthy...!! That's quite interesting about the Chardonnay, I wouldn't have expected! Thanks :)
5/22/20, 8:35 PM - My memory must have failed me about the Googling, because I'm wrong: did you see their website?? https://www.ncwinery.com/And, deal about the 1980's! I'm @violistus if you're on instagram you can contact me there.
5/18/20, 8:40 PM - Thanks for a terrific, and very helpful, note!
4/24/20, 6:27 PM - I adore this wine but am surprised that it was at Marea! Do you remember what food was paired with it?
12/19/17, 8:57 PM - Hi Clayfu! I haven't tried Juge yet! :)
1/7/19, 5:51 PM - Hi Clayfu, I'm pleased to report that I've now tried Juge! :) And I was able to track down a few bottles of the 2015 at cost (!!) so I'll have the pleasure of drinking it in years to come. Maybe open a bottle together sometime hehe!
7/29/18, 4:13 PM - Wonderful note, thank you. I love this wine too!
7/19/18, 10:31 PM - Thanks for the excellent note!
7/19/18, 10:25 PM - Welcome to Bandol!!
2/1/18, 9:26 PM - Lucky duck! Thanks for the fine notes. I so wish I had a case of these...! I don't know where the Tempier tasting that's mentioned was, but I'd love to go in on a Tempier tasting in NYC sometime!!
1/10/18, 2:58 PM - Thanks. Lucky that you have some in the cellar, your friends will thank you! It's pretty wonderful right now too, a little less linear than I anticipated but by no means a rush to drink up, especially out of mag. Enjoy!
7/18/17, 1:11 PM - I opened a bottle 2 weeks ago that had also undergone some refermentation! Strong effervescence, biscuity, and yeasty. I'm also a huge fan of Simone and was pretty disappointed. I've got 3 more bottles and wonder how they're doing...
7/18/17, 6:48 AM - Hi Greg, sorry I just saw this comment now! Thanks for so kindly offering to replace the bottle, that's very generous of you. I'm a big fan of your wines - the '08 Syrah is what hooked me, and I've been a member of the MTA for a few years now and have been amassing bottles. I'll be in touch!
5/24/16, 5:55 AM - That's where I got my bottles too! Was pleasantly surprised to see Musar there. :)
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
