Jouet 1999 Blanc de Blancs
Champagne
A little on the hard-to-get side, this wine is truly
one of the most beautiful things that has ever traced
the landscape of my tongue. Refined, elegant, but
not lacking in body, it is everything a bottle of
Champagne should encompass.
Pol Roger 1990 Sir Winston Churchill
Champagne
Although most of us are on '95's and '99's, this early
90's bottling is, in my estimation, among the best
champagne ever produced. A luscious, full-bodied bubbly,
it still tastes great from a bottle and even better
in magnum.
Groom 2006 Sauvignon Blanc
Adelaide Hills
If you have any experience with Adelaide Hills wine,
you'll know the region has a very distinctive terroir.
It also has a climate which produces restrained and
sophisticated Sauvignon Blanc. And if one wine can
stand as a textbook example of the region's racy yet
elegant style, Groom's new SB would be the region's
poster child.
Domaine de Chevalier 2000 Blanc
Bordeaux
These days, we look to New Zealand, a relative wine
world newcomer for our Sauvignon Blanc. But one taste
of this classic sauvignon blanc/semillon blend's nectar
will remind any white wine lover that experience breeds
perfection.
Folie a Deux 2006 Menage a Trois Rose
Napa Valley
A favorite of mine not just for the name, it is a
sexy little wine as well as one of Napa's best values.
Simple, fresh and lovely with one of the sassiest
names on the market, how could I not love this wine?
Cain 2000 Cain Five
Napa Valley
I am not usually a big, American Cab drinker, but
I cracked open a bottle of this Napa bad boy at Thanksgiving
and let me tell you, I wish I had another. Wines often
hit a really pretty point in their aging and right
now, this wine is like a big bottle of Angelina Jolie.
Taylor Fladgate 2001 Vargellas
Douro Valley
There are Port drinkers and then there are Taylor
drinkers. I'm a Taylor girl. And among Taylor's impressive
lineup, there's no Port I would grab over Vargales,
the beautifully syrup-like, womanly wine from the
port house's stunning Vargales vineyard.
