NV Jean Vesselle Oeil de Perdrix Champagne. Fantastic wine, and my wife has declared this as her favorite.
2009 Andrew Will, Sorella
Excellent but the fruit faded after a couple of hours. If I had more I would drink sooner than later and not decant as I did with this bottle.
2018 Domaine Drouhin Oregon Chardonnay Arthur

2016 La Crema Shell Ridge Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. Pretty damn good for a Cali wine. 
2019 Little Wings Stardust Chardonnay.
2015 Pearl Morissette Cabernet Franc L’Obulie

I've been draining some Stefania, too.

Absolutely - we have far more in Hollywood than Key West - so we have been drinking 'em as we have been here for a few days (longest stint here since pandemic started)

Pretty good, it would seem.

Brutal. I’ve had 3 or 4 corked bottles of 2016 San Felice Chianti Classico. But never three in a row. I’d be looking overhead for falling objects.
Well, there was that anvil from the Acme company but I am sure that was just a one-off.
1996 Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon. Mrs. BR asked that open a replacement bottle. She was right of course.
2016 Pearl Morissette Chardonnay Cuvée Dix Neuvieme
2019 Saint Cosme CdR. Reliably yummy as always.
2005 Villa Caffaggio Cortaccio - sublime stuff!
2010 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir 4 Barrel
2011 Guigal, Hermitage, Blanc
2016 Hamilton Russell, Chardonnay
Both delicious.
My New Years resolution in wine purchasing and drinking: Buy less expensive wine and drink more ready to drink wines.
Starting off with a New Zealand kick for 2021:
2017 Clos Henri Bel Echo Pinot noir (stunning)
2018 Chianti Classico San Giusto di Rennetano( excellent)
2018 Joseph Phelps Cabernet - Opened 4 hours before; pretty good
2019 Malivoire Gamay Small Lot

What did you think? We are (slowly) working through their range. This is next on the list.

I really liked it, probably my favourite of their current Gamay collection that I have tried so far.

So, we opened a bottle tonight. Very nice. Will be interesting to see how it ages over the next few years. Lot of potential here.
