2012 OWEN ROE Abbot’s Table $23.95 bottle/ $232.00 case It is always interesting to watch the maturation process winemakers go through. Early on in his career at Sineann and Owen Roe David O’Reilly’s wines were all about power, high alcohol, and ripeness. They were without question delicious, but sometimes lacking nuance, a bit one dimensional…

Grochau Cellars RED: why pay more for less?
2010 GROCHAU CELLARS “RED” Claret $14.95 btl/ $145.00 case One of the things I love in my work is rediscovering old favorite wines. Things I may not have paid much attention to because of the static from other wines crowding my band width. Obvious case in point is John Grochau’s always reliable and always delicious…
Sauvignon Sensation!!
2011 CEDRICK BARDIN Sancerre $19.95 btl/ $195.00 case If asked to define “zesty” with a bottle of wine I would probably just hand the questioner a bottle of VINO favorite Cedrick Bardin’s current release of Sancerre and let the wine speak for itself. I love sauvignon blanc from the Sancerre appellation, especially in Bardin’s very…
2008 Fiorenzo Nada Barbaresco: bottled beauty!!
2008 FIORENZO NADA Barbaresco “Manzola” $44.95 bottle/ $230.00 6-Pack/ $428.00 case I have been grossly fortunate over the years to have tasted well over a thousand Barbarescos and Barolos from Italy’s Piedmont region, that place where the nebbiolo grape that gets made into these epitomes of wine greatness reaches the height of its powers. Having…
Bellene’s Burgundy Bargain!
2010 MAISON ROCHE DE BELLENE Bourgogne Pinot Noir “Vieilles Vignes” $20.95 btl/ $205.00 I almost feel sorry for some of our local winemakers when I have a French red burgundy this good in stock. For less than what one pays for many an entry level Oregon noir you can have an amazingly complex, earthy, rich,…
Brunello di Montalcino: Sangiovese’s Sublime Side!
2004 SOLARIA Brunello di Montalcino
$41.95 bottle/ $220.00 six pack/ $400.00 case
Brunello di Montalcino is one of the greatest red wines in the world. Period. No arguments. It is where the distinctive sangiovese grape achieves it peak. There’s a reason the clone of sangiovese used in the vineyards of Brunello is called sangiovese grosso. Nowhere else does it become as complex, character-filled, and flavorsome. This vintage…
Barbera Box, pt. 2
Seems like every E-Special another Barbera finds its way in. You know I love these wines and I know you love these wines. This month there are three that deserve further exploration. All of these showed brilliantly at our recent Barbera flight a few Friday’s ago. Beautiful fruit quality with that classic cherry, spice, smoke,…
David O’Reilly has something to crow about!
I’ve known David O’Reilly for maybe 17 or 18 years. David was the wine savant behind Sineann (with partner Peter Rosbach) at the beginning when they were on top of their game. Toward the end of his Sineann run he became co-founder/owner of Owen Roe winery, who have established themselves without question as one of…
