2010 Capbern Gasqueton, St-Estèphe Pre-Arrival
Review Date: 11-20-2012
For me the revelation of the trip. I had the opportunity to experience this wine for the first time while tasting at Calon-Ségur. Rich raspberry and red berry fruits, a mix of damp earth, exotic Five Spice and a hint of tobacco made for a really dimensional albeit young Bordeaux red. Full-bodied, with lots of promise.
Price: $22.99
2010 Calon-Ségur, St-Estèphe Pre-Arrival
Review Date: 5-16-2011
Brooding and intense, with a serious mouthful of crushed blackberries, cranberries and stony minerality. Bittersweet chocolate makes a subtle appearance here too. full++ bodied, and absolutely built for the cellar.
Price: $119.99

Review Date: 5-16-2011

2010 Haut-Bailly, Pessac-Léognan Pre-Arrival
Review Date: 5-13-2011
Along with the beautiful fruit nuances that seem to be evident throughout this vintage, this wine displays more grounded notes of tobacco, damp earth and black tea. Full, ripe tannins place this Pessac clearly at the other end of the tasting spectrum from the more elegant 2010 Margaux (note: Angludet, Malescot) but I find it to be delicious.
Price: $159.99
Clairette de Die Raspail "Grande Tradition"
Review Date: 12-30-2008
This Clairette de Die is truly one of the most versatile sparklers that we have in the store. Just a touch of residual sugar imparts a delicate sweetness that make this the perfect wine to pair with salty appetizers like salumi or potato chips! It works great with spicier, more exotic fare like Indian curries and spicy Thai cuisine, too. An open bottle never seems to last longer than five minutes at dinner parties.
Price: $17.99
