Hong Kong wine enthusiast by route of New York City and SF Bay area. Big fan Russian River Valley Pinot and German Riesling.
I love properly aged Ridge. At 12 years old this shows no bricking but hints at maturity with a slightly carmelized sweetness. 2012 was a cool year and this bottle is more elegant than some other Paganis. 👍👍 — 2 months ago
Nice, light, fruity. Just what I was looking for in a Beaujolais with better than typical depth. Good QPR. — 4 months ago
Imagine a great Cote Rotie, Cornas, and a Cal Syrah step into a bar. The atmosphere is all French but the ‘Mercian makes it interesting and overblown with too much density. It was spectacular, but if it were a bit more reserved, and didn’t stain my Riedel, it would have been on another level. — 4 months ago
Trader Joes. Surprisingly good with some of their surprisingly good cheese! — 2 months ago
Second day; Deep purple silk! Less than an acre… less than 200 cases. Lucky me wine! — 4 months ago
Good balance of savory and fruity… right down the middle. — 4 months ago
Slightly hot yet hint of vegetal. under ripe? Other than that, long dark berry finish. Second night was more in balance and picked up some char and chocolate. — 5 months ago
