Thanks for the comment Matt, quite entertaining! I guess I should have mentioned that I actually like a good frozen pizza, like a peperoni digiorno baked kinda crunchy but still chewy. Wash it down with a jammy wine and that’s a pretty good week day

Last review is the zenith of tightass baloney
I enjoyed this wine perhaps the last reviewer should try a better class of frozen pizza
Jammy taste was probably a remenent of last nights date

I thought this wine was absolutely fabulous once I let it open up for a few hours in a decanter. My notes are: Torrents of cassis with hints of licorice and leather with stone fruit notes thrusting rythmically to an explosive finale with a tang of sea air and long finish that made me beg for more.

Went to Costco at two locations in the Bay Area, but both only were
stocking the 2009 Vintage – no 2997 vintage was still available. Have you
tried the 2009? Crews

This is fabulous! I always want to buy wine to bring home to friends in the States and I’m always too terrified to put it in my suitcase. I’m definitely going to think about buying a few of these. What’s the price range and can I order them to ship to France?

Comment on Wine Ratings and Pricing: Where’s the Correlation? by weeklywinejournal

Good points. I’ve seen a lot of terrible shelf talkers in my time in retail wine sales at the big club stores. I would write my own shelf talkers if I had my own store.

Just came across your blog, love it. In regards to points and prices…I have no clue what is going on but from a wine shop owner standpoint, I won’t use points at all. (Shop opens in November) I know people depend on scores when looking at wine but I’ve also done some research and seen that there is such a wide range of scores on just one wine that how can we trust the people who are tasting it? Without using names, I noticed a retailer in my area (Seattle) posting a point of 96 points on one wine while two other people gave it an 86 and 89. I mean we could just average it out and use that but I was thinking that it was a pretty jump from 86. I mean why would any retailed use the 86 then or even mention it. Or better yet is when retailers use a talker that says that last years vintage was a 95 pointer while the current vintage is only around 86. In all…I don’t think there is any correlation anymore. I think we need to read and spend time with our merchants rather than just scan for points that may not even be correct. Just my 2 cents.

Your Sauvignon Blanc seems good. I’ll try it on my 26th birthday. Surely my visitors would love them!
