Score Wine Region Price Tasted
90 Frank Family Carneros Chardonnay 2017

Oakier than I usually want, but quality is quality

Carneros, California $38
92 Julius Wasem & Söhne Gewürztraminer Auslese 2016

Exotic, luscious and just a little seductive.

Rheinhessen $20
95 Melanson Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Matthew's Block 2017

Generous mountain Cabernet Sauvignon drinking incredibly smooth and balanced.

Napa Valley $125
97 Château de Pommard Cuvée: Grand Vin du Château de Pommard 2008

One of those wines that makes you stop, look at the bottle, and say: more please!

Burgundy $95
86 Weingut Schwarzbauer Chardonnay Trockenbeerenauslese 2007

A Trockenbeerenauslese for 13 euros usually means something has gone wrong. Nothing has.

Burgenland €13
90 Weingut Josef Leitz Rüdesheimer Berg Schloßberg Riesling Spätlese 2003

The color says Beerenauslese and the finish says drink it tonight. Twenty-three years old and nearly out of runway.
