About Me
- Eric C. Maczko
- I've been part of Pine Ridge Winery's Culinary Staff for 7 years. In 2003 I took over the Executive Chef Position and have been pairing food and wine together in a creative environment every day since. I am a Certified Sommelier through The Court of Master Sommeliers and hope to gain my Advanced in the coming year. My love of wine, food and literature are the fuel behind this little site and sharing my experience is my gift. Each year I take a little time to craft my own wine, so as to humble myself. It is a pleasure to sample the hard work and dedication of these so many talented wine professionals.

October 16, 2008 - Wines Tasted
Krug - Grand Cuvee - NV - Champaigne - $40 a Glass! - (Classic, Ager, Food Wine, OMG Wine) - After a smell of this most fine Champaigne, you get the feeling that time has sklipped over you for generations while you were playing in the sandbox. Get out there and try this wine and you will KNOW what greatness is! I've had it once before but the experience ruined the wine, this was not the case last night at, The 5th Floor in SF. Intense aromas of peaches, just melted sugar, yeast, a hoard of apples and pears, toast, and a sense of place found only in the most prestiege cuvees. The wine held me in check with its focus like a still life in the making. And that one minute finish that could make anyone blush. Pure love for this wine. I had: Burbury-Spiced Black Tiger Shrimp Salad with Dried Tapenade and Pea Shoots.
