2009 Hamilton Russell Vineyards Pinot Noir

On day one (PnP), thoroughly disappointing. Tart and savory combined with smoky oak -- a combination that just didn't work. By day two, the wine had certainly improved -- riper, brighter fruit with better oak integration -- but still wasn't as tasty as I expected. So if you're going to drink it, be sure to decant for a while.

1984 Raymond Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve

Wow. I never expected this to be more than a decent, well-aged Cab. But it blew my mind. Popped and poured -- the nose is aged cab, but could easily pass for a ripe-ish Bordeaux or a much more expensive Cali Cab. Fresh, young, and in a perfect spot. Lots of fruit and every developed note you could want. Very impressed.

NV R. & L. Legras Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut

For the price, this is really great. There are plenty of $40-50 Champagnes I would enjoy more, but for $29, I can't think of anything better than this. And it'd definitely be a crowd pleaser. (Definitely more RS than I would have expected, but that's why it'd be a hit with most people)
