Camino Restaurant was opened a year or two ago by Russell Moore who prior to that spent 13 years as produce buyer and in the kitchen at Chez Panisse. That background under Alice Waters served him well. Camino is a simple concept and one that seems sustainable -- and probably profitable -- in th...

2002 Kistler Chardonnay Vine Hill Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley (10/24/2009)Wonderfully mature but still vibrant. Golden color.

Match Vineyards warns everyone that I have been getting a bunch of fake emails supposedly from Facebook about resetting my password, preferences, etc. Reminder, if some institution that you do business with emails you, they will probably know your name and not call you "User", "Customer," or by the first part of your email address.

2006 Louis Jadot Corton-Charlemagne - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (10/22/2009)Not hugely expressive at this time, with aroma of cloves and subtle flavors of lemon peel, green apple, river rock, and roasted nuts. Nicely balanced and delicate now but I suspect a f...

2006 Vina Pargua Pargua II - Chile, Central Valley, Maipo Valley (10/19/2009)Overripe plum with woodsmoke and green herb offer some promise but the finishing tannins turn bitter and disjointed. A few years in the cellar should help. I didn't hate this wine, but it's hard to think of when one migh...

Ouch. Sometimes a wine is just not good and you don't know why.2000 Château Pavie Macquin - France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru (10/16/2009)Nice cassis aromas but very thin, muted flavors and mouthfeel, short finish. It seemed tired which should not be the case. I could not ident...
