M. Chapoutier Les Vignes de Bila-Haut Côtes du Rousillon Blanc 2015
An oustanding value as always, the M. Chapoutier Les Vignes de Bila-Haut Côtes du Rousillon Blanc 2015 is an inviting blend of Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris and Macabeu.

Lanson Champagne Extra Age Brut Rosé NV
Lanson Champagne Extra Age Brut Rosé sports a coppery visage, an undefined color at the midpoint between pale apricot and salmon. A blend of the 2002, 2004, and 2005 vintages, with ten years en tirage, this stunning brut rosé has considerable power amplified by a bolt of enamel-etching acidity. Vivid layers of stone fruit, orange […]

Domaine du Gour de Chaulé Gigondas Cuvée Tradition 2011
The Gour de Chaule Cuvée Tradition 2011 has that fabulous, oh so classic Gigondas profile. It runs the complexity gamut—a delicious romp through musky feralness interlacing macerated strawberries and black cherries, earthiness and stunning violet-tinged floriality. This is all that Grenache can be; vivid, wild and expressive. In this case, a medium-bodied, intense wine that […]
Mailly Champagne Grand Cru L’Intemporelle Brut 2009
he color of sun-bleached straw, Mailly Grand Cru L’Intemporelle Brut 2009 offers up a garland of creamy bubbles and lilting notes of white peach, buttered scone, white flowers and smoky minerality. There is slightly more weight on the palate than one might anticipate given the nose, a plunge through discreet layers of pear and stone […]

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish.
