2008 Jacob’s Creek Reserve Shiraz
This is a good wine for the price. Recommended (88).
2011 Left Coast Cellars White Pinot Noir
This is a nice glass of wine, a full-bodied white ready for food. Highly Recommended (90).
2010 Red Tail Ridge Semi-Dry Riesling
There are tropical notes in this wine, and just enough roundness and sweetness from the residual sugar, yet there is also a good dose of fresh lime on the finish, as well as a bit of mineral tension to make the whole package the best of both worlds. Highly Recommended.
2006 Domaine de Montille Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Épenots
Mature and well-integrated, showing a clean, pure aromatic line, it has several good years in it yet. Highly recommended. RC
Genepy Cognac Cocktail
This is a very pretty and unique cocktail, floral, and delicate enough to preserve the palate for the meal to come.

Bastianich 2010 Adriatico Friulano
The nose is bright and expressive, with notes reminiscent of stonefruit, raw almond, with a nice floral undertone. The mouth is intense, substantial yet fresh, with good length and a clean, aromatic finish. Great with white meats or hard cheeses. Highly recommended.
