Absolut Elyx Single Estate Vodka 1L
Review Date: 5-23-2013
One of my drinks of choice when I’m out at a bar is vodka rocks with a twist. It is simple and easy to make and generally leaves me hangover free. Usually I opt for Belvedere because it is smooth and easy to drink even though it may lack a truly distinct flavor. When I tasted the Absolut Elyx Vodka I was blown away, it was smooth & rich but had a very clean and distinctive profile with hints of vanilla and hazelnut notes on the finish. A wonderful tasting vodka and an even better value this is perfect on its own or use it as a top-shelf blending ingredient in your next martini or gimlet.
Price: $49.99
2010 Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Pre-Arrival
Review Date: 4-17-2013
What does greatness cost? In the Rhône it costs $159.99 a bottle. If you want a truly magical experience you can’t go wrong with Clos des Papes; this wine hits on all cylinders.
Price: $159.99
2010 Domaine Ferrand Châteauneuf-du-Pape

A perfect example of the greatness of 2010, this wine is packed with fruit, spice, earth and minerals. It will age gracefully for the next two decades.

Classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape with 70% Grenache; this wine bursts with deep, gorgeous fruit while still retaining classic hints of spice and earth.

This wine is gorgeous, with incredible, complex red fruits that feel almost Burgundian in style. Such delineation!

2010 Pontet-Canet, Pauillac Pre-Arrival
Review Date: 2-11-2013
A must buy! Wild berries, laser beam fruit, good tension and verve, with a long finish. If you can't afford the First Growths or Super Seconds, try this.
Price: $279.99
2010 Lafite-Rothschild, Pauillac Pre-Arrival
Review Date: 2-11-2013
Dark and brooding, with crushed black and sour cherries. Layered and very complex. This wine will age forever.
Price: $1,629.00
2010 Clos Fourtet, St-Emilion (1.5L) Pre-Arrival
Review Date: 2-5-2013
Atypically elegant for St- Emilion, this wine displays beautiful, complex cherry and wild berry fruit, as well as subtle spice notes. ***1/2. At UGC: This wine displays rose petal aromas and red fruits of all sorts including candied cranberry, red cherry and red currant. Spicy and racy, the wine is still a bit closed off right now. Probably a notch below the perfect 2009.

2010 Pavie Macquin, St-Emilion (1.5L) Pre-Arrival
Review Date: 2-5-2013
Made by Nicolai Thienpont (Larcis-Ducasse, Beauséjour-Duffau). Cinnamon, red cherry, round with loads of cherry fruit; this wine has an elegance about it. ***. At UGC: Beautiful wine, with a very pretty nose of red fruit and flowers that's more Burgundian than Bordelaise. On the palate the wine has laser-beam focused red fruit, mouthwatering acidity and vibrancy. This feels like a synthesis of Burgundy and Bordeaux. One of the prettiest wines at the tasting. I am very impressed.
