Jim Meskauskas' Review:

This is a solid, classic French Chardonnay. Light on the oak, light on the butter. Almost a bit of apple wood in there. Got a poultry at a picnic nose. It's the only wine I drink that makes me truly think... "this would go great with chicken."

Jim Meskauskas' Review:

This is classic French Bordeaux at its... well, its most classic. Plum, manure, earth, berry. The wine is drinking RIGHT NOW and will not get any better with any more bottle time. I only wish I had more...

Jim Meskauskas' Review:

An excellent wine. At room temperature and after about 20 minutes of opening, this wine is lush with chocolate covered cherry and a hint of tobacco. I only wish there was more of this wine out there to drink! Will have to buy as much of the '04 as I can find.

I love this wine! Peachy, mango. Light and crisp.

Jim Meskauskas' Review:

Nice, crisp Riesling. Not too sweet. Very cool, with a floating flavor of white pit fruit. Excellent every day drinker.

Jim Meskauskas' Review:

I give this a higher rating than it probably deserves compared to what the typical oenophile drinks. But for the price, it is one hell of a wine. Nice red fruits, but a dry, soft acidity. Terrific Spanish table red for just about any meat meal, or sitting around drinking.

Jim Meskauskas' Review:

Drop-dead gorgeous Bordeaux. This big St. Julien is ready to drink now, but still has some bottle life. However, I don't think it is going to get any better than it is now.

Jim Meskauskas' Review:

A fabulous Sav Blanc. Lots of grapefruit and mandarin, a touch of peach, with a hint of grass on the nose and the finish.

Jim Meskauskas' Review:

Fantastic. Incredibly smooth. Has all the terroire you'd expect of an old-fashioned Bordeaux. It's age lends to a very fast open, no more than 2o minutes.

Jim Meskauskas' Review:

Rather fruit forward for a Pinot. Definitely a California wine!
