2004 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
On February - 16 - 2007 ADD COMMENTS
Cherry, Wildberry, Strawberry and other concentrated red fruit dominated this wine. Structure was there, but style was very hedonistic. Really knocked me out, and showed very very well. – City Hall – Tasted 2/16/2007.

N.V. Jacquesson & Fils Champagne Cuvée No. 730
On February - 4 - 2007 ADD COMMENTS
This is lovely. Based on the 2002 vintage, but fortified with wines from earlier years. Everything about it yells quality – great nose, wonderful fresh fruit on the palate, reasonable complexity and great length. This makes a terrific aperitif champagne but it also has the power and weight to go well with food. Get stuck in!! (90 pts.) – Tasted 2/4/2007.

2004 Kongsgaard Chardonnay The Judge
On February - 1 - 2007 ADD COMMENTS
Super-duper concentrated. Crazy nose: coffee, butterscotch, some coconut, butter, vanilla, melon, tropical fruit. Benefits considerably from decanting. Very full-bodied. Elegant in its own way (like a linebacker in a tailored suit). It’s very difficult not to love this, even if BIG California Chardonnay is not your thing. This is just exceptionally well-made wine. (95 pts.) – Tasted 2/1/2007.
