July
Posted July 15th, 2007 by bperkinsI am always amazed when I taste an old wine and it has developed into something almost magical. Three of the wines I recommend this month fit into that category. I don’t get to taste these wines very often, so I am grateful to my friend Bill Vandermarel for reaching into his cellar for me to enjoy these wines.

Posted September 22nd, 2006 by bperkinsOn the occasion of our last dinner in Canada with some great friends I decided it was the appropriate time to open one of the oldest and most prestigious bottles of wine in my collection. I had purchased a 1975 Mouton Rothschild several years ago from a wine store in St. Louis that was liquidating an old collector’s cellar for him. I can’t tell you the price of the wine because my wife reads this, but suffice to say I only bought one bottle. This was the night to open this wine.
