Great variety of wines on this Cellar Defenders!
Thank you for all you do for us wine lovers. Cheers to 2025!
I have seeked out alot of these cellar defenders over the past year and I've never been disappointed. Perfect for my budget.
Love the Volte and Cubillo but my fav was PSI. I had the 2021 last month and I honestly can't stop thinking bout it.
Happy Christmas from Ireland!!
very nice lineup! happy holidays!
What is a cellar defender? A wine to age?
Damn Merc guy figured you would be Redbull man 🙂
Chateau Lilian Ladouys has been one of my favorite defenders that u recommended earlier this year. I stocked up on the 2020 and everybody I serve it to likes it.
Excellent recommendations as always! Great names there. Thanks again
Hola John! hope you had a nice holiday. Great video as always. I'll be travelling to Houston next week and definitely will be going to Specs that is in Smith Street and see what bring back with me. Will be going to Vic and Anthonies steakhouse at downtown and enjoy their extraordinary steaks. Take care !
A lot of the wines where I’m at cost on avg $10 more then what you had said. No problem with that I was just wondering if they’d still be worth the buy
Valuable infirmation
What a terrific selection of your own selections!😁👏
With my increased interest in Thyme-scented reds with dark-ish fruit flavors, it looks like I'll have to allocate some space for the Coudoulet!
Having enjoyed my first Diatom (2022), hearing its origin story was fascinating!👍👍
I definitely agree on Beringer KV as a terrific entry-level CS for the KV/Napa area.🍷
For me, Ardanza Reserva may be more of a "Gateway Wine" (I don't know if there is such a term😅😂) to Rioja as it will be my first quality Tempranillo experience.
Pikes (2022) was pretty solid, but I personally preferred its Eden Valley counterpart in Pewsey Vale Dry Riesling (2022) because it felt more complex in terms of minerality and more subtlety while being ~20% less.😘🤌
Nice video but the sound is in the cellar. You should get a better microphone.
Great video (as usual) but I have to say that Diatom was hard to drink. Not my preferred style of Chardonnay. It was too floral.
A strong preference for reds vis a vis whites?!! All are good suggestions though. thank you.
