  Chateaux Ventenac 2005 Carbardes Red will become a classic vintage.

  Cotes du Rhone Montirius 2007

  Snoothrank:

  Great deal for $12.99 at K&L here in SF. Subtle fruit and just a hint of soil at the front. Nicely balanced, yet robust tannins and a tight close on the end. Excellent everyday drinker with food or on its own.

  Joseph Drouhin Beaujolais Nouveau 2009

  Snoothrank:

  Bright purple in the glass. Nose of blue and blackberries with tones of tea. Wonderful bright fruit with an almost lambrusco-like zing. Some citrus tones on the finish. Not a long lasting wine.

  Très boisé à l'ouverture. Meilleur une fois aéré un peu.

  Barton & Guestier Pinot Noir Bistro 2007

  Snoothrank:

  Admittedly, the cute label actually set the bar low since I figure often the money spent on label design is making up for actual wine quality. So I approached it with scrutiny since I got it for $11. At first, it didn't seem like a pinot noir, but like a lot of cheap pinots, off... Read moreAdmittedly, the cute label actually set the bar low since I figure often the money spent on label design is making up for actual wine quality. So I approached it with scrutiny since I got it for $11. At first, it didn't seem like a pinot noir, but like a lot of cheap pinots, off balance with sharp astringency vs. sugariness. Some air after sitting in the glass for an hour mellowed it, but nothing showed quality. However, the next night after being sealed up, it paired well with dinner and I realized it had a nice strawberry-like taste. Not real strawberries, more like candy strawberry, but subtle anyway, and the off flavors were gone. All in all, it would make an great casual gift wine for the casual wine drinker.    (hide)

  Really most noble grapes can sit for a good decade. Nebbiolo based Italian reds, Amarone mad with valpolicella, and any sturdy Bordeaux like St. Estephe, St. Julien, Margaux, Paulliac, etc. Good American cabs or bordeaux blends can stand up to time too. Reds are a far safer bet... Read moreReally most noble grapes can sit for a good decade.

Reds are a far safer bet than whites because those vary so much and it's always iffy unless you really know the type, region and producer. Sweet or fortified whites are the exception. Just my two cents!    (hide)

  Olivier Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc les Setilles 2007

  Snoothrank:

  We had this wine with a meal that featured "chicken under a brick." The wine seemed to be a perfect complement.

  Domaine Belles Pierres Coteaux du Languedoc les Clauzes de Jo 2007

  Snoothrank:

  Fragrant and spicy, a nose of lychee, ginger and peach, hints of ginger and orange peel on the palate. Unusual and rather lovely.

  Chateau Creyssels Coteaux du Languedoc Picpoul-de-Pinet 2008

  Snoothrank:

  Fresh, zingy grapefuit and lemon, bitterness is slightly over the top but hey, it's still very young.

  I agree with schellbe concerning Beaujolais, and you should try the AOC Chénas wines from Château des Jean-Loron. Here is the website : http://www.vins-de-bourgogne-sud.com You will find very original, typical and greedy wines.
