  November 5, 2017 - Knightsbridge Annual Holiday Burgundy/Champagne Tasting and Sale (Northbrook, IL): Tasting, brief note. Ripe, rich and forward red and black fruit. Not the most complex example of Bonnes Mares, but certainly easily enjoyable.

  May 7, 2016 - Chevalier Fine Wines Tasting, Featuring Fine Vines Selections (Chevalier Fine Wines - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Ripe red fruit with enough structure for balance. Very tasty, very good, particularly for today's sale price. I usually think of Bonnes Mares as a wine built to age, and this is simpler and not necessarily "typical" but very tasty nonetheless.

  May 7, 2016 - Rite of Spring at Chevalier Wines (Chicago, IL): Perhaps not the best expression of Bonnes Mares, this is a good example of a riper, more expressive pinot that is just totally open for business right now (as a side note, I liked this a little more than the 09 Bèze). Perhaps a bit simplistic, especially for the terroir, but just so damn delicious already.

  December 2, 2012 - Knightsbridge Annual Holiday Burgundy Tasting and Sale (Northbrook, IL): Tasting, brief note. Lots of sulfur to start. Very ripe and fat, making it easy to enjoy over the next 5 years, but not my favorite style and not showing much "Bonnes Mares" character to me.
