    Very, very nice lineup there. Was the SQN Syrah or Grenache? And how was the 95 Margaux against it (assuming you paired the wines like shown in the pics)? Hard to read the Aubert label... which one was it? And last, which was the wine of the night?

    How was the Montelena chardonnay? Looks almost like an aged sauternes in your picture.

    First time and it was amazing. More like syrup than wine and truly unbelievable. But.... probably not worth the money if I’m being honest.

    I just had the 1999 Clos St Hune and it was drinking beautifully. Still crisp and acidic even at 20 years old. I haven't had the other two, but for the von Winning, GG is basically the Riesling equivalent of Grand Cru in Burgundy, so you probably can't go wrong there. The Schlossgut Auslese is a late harvest, hand picked wine that will be higher in residual sugar and have low alcohol, but will probably be fantastic, especially if it's their gold cap bottling. I think you have no other choice but to get all three and do side-by-sides.

    I found it surprisingly fresh and crisp for its age. I expected it to be dominated by minerality and petroleum, but it was still very acidic and had a lot of citrus notes as well. Definitely would recommend it.

    Definitely some superstars in that lineup. How did the 75s hold up against the Margaux?
  24. Definitely Shun. A few years ago I bought the complete set of the Ken Onion special knives before they were discontinued. Absolutely the best kitchen knives ever made.

    Just came back from San Sebastian and would highly recommend the restaurants Rekando, Arzak, and Elkano (in Gatteria). Excellent food, and amazing wine lists with bargain pricing. Ask to go on a wine cellar tour at Rekando.
