We did this once before and it was fun. What are the last 10 wines you’ve drank? I bounce around in grapes, regions and price points. Some of these occurred on the same night.

The Greek wines are an aberration as we cooked a Greek dinner with two other couples last night. Tours is my top Rhone producer by bottles and Guillemot my top Burgundy. We’ve had a lot of Navarro since visiting this summer.

2013 Matthiasson Tendu California Red Blend
2008 Pyramid Valley Pinot Noir Growers Collection Riverbrook Vineyard
2008 Stefania Cabernet Sauvignon Santa Cruz Mountains
What I liked…
The Matthiasson for it being a delicious qpr that I can open with a bottle cap opener.
The Pyramid for reminding me that excellent Pinot can be made anywhere
The d’Angerville for re affirming for me a producer I like and will likely buy more
and… the Hofgut Sekt - because it went so well with chips and salsa while watching the Jets be embarrassed yet again.
I think you’re right, at least about the Chapelle. It was open for business and fun to drink but I could see the tannins being in a better place in 3-5yrs. Most at the table did really enjoy the Chapelle though right now. The 01 Rostaing La Landonne, conversely is nearing it peak and I will drink my last one or 2 within a couple years. TNs on CT at my handle chablis28.

NV Charles de Cazanove Champagne Brut
2010 Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Les Romains
2010 Domaine Saint-Damien Gigondas Les Souteyrades
Far more Euro-centric than is typical for me, but does show my typical price point and varietal hopping; as well as the relative youth of my cellar. The Behrens was the only wine of the lot I scored above 90, so I’m due for some great wine!
NV Ramos-Pinto 20 Year Tawny Quinta do Bom Retiro - This was bottled in 1999. Very nice, no heat on the finish. Would buy again.
2012 Domaine Drouhin Arthur Chardonnay - Very happy another case is to arrive tomorrow
2010 Brickhouse Chardonnay - Yum
1992 Beaux Freres Estate Pinot - Best one of these to date, almost in the outstanding category
2006 Le Cadeau Cote Est Pinot Mag - Better than expected
2007 Le Cadeau Cote Est Pinot Mag - Better than expected and fun to try next to the 2006
2007 Rochioli Estate Pinot - Matched well with some grilled Ahi.
1969 Jouvet Cote De Nuits-Villages - An old dirty burg
2004 Beaux Freres Estate Pinot - Really in a nice place
2003 Beaux Freres Upper Terrace Pinot - Damn surprising for the vintage, wonderful wine
2013 Baudry Rose **
2010 Prevost Closerie Les Beguines ****
2008 Rhys Horseshoe Syrah **
1978 Torres Gran Coronas Reserva ***
2011 Ceritas Chardonnay Heintz ***
2007 Ridge Monte Bello ***
1987 LdH Gran Reserva Tondonia ****
2005 Denis Bachelet Les Corbeaux **
2011 Overnoy Chardonnay **
2012 Dauvissat Chablis AOC *
(out of 4 stars)
The Bachelet, Ridge, and Overnoy were all too young…probably unfair to grade them. The Prevost and LdH’s were the two outstanding wines of the past 10. LdH is so youthful and bright at this point hardly showing much of the character of an aged LdH yet, but still delivering tons of enjoyment. Prevost, was a profound champagne. The best young bubbler I can remember having.
