Thank you for exploring my wine list with me. Below you'll find only wines I recommend very highly. I don't use scores, but I do catagorize wines as styles: (Agers, Food Wines, Stand Alones, Celebratory Wines, Showpieces, Classics, Moderns). I also offer food pairings as well as glimpses into what I've enjoyed with what. I hope this helps in some small way to increase your enjoyment of wine and food.
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.

2007-Domaine la Monardiere-Vacqueyras-Les 2 Monardes - Medium ruby, just clear. Aromas of grilled pork, light caramel, dried herbs, brush, and blackberries as well as fresh ripe strawberries and red plum mix. In the mouth it's very youthful. Acid is still fresh, tannins are firm and ripe, and the fruit is hidden under a layer of black pepper corns, fresh blue flower petals and anise. The alcohol was mod+, but balanced thru a long finish. I recommend cellaring for 6 months or more is recommended or up to 10 years.
