www.sfgate.com | May 1, 2008

This week the panel tasted 2005 and 2006 single-vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noirs, which in general seemed deeper, more concentrated and complex than the majority of those labeled solely with Russian River Valley. We will feature these wines in The Chronicle Wine Selections next week.

Restaurant Report - Wine - Silverstone Rediscovers BG

When I first arrived in the good old US of A almost a quarter century ago I had no idea where my saunter through life would lead. However, my first stop was slated even before my BOAC (may they rest in peace) hit the dilapidated edifice known in those days as Philadelphia International Airport.

Without doubt one of the world s greatest and most individual wine estates. There is nothing better than Haut Brion from a great vintage as those who have been privileged to taste legends such as the 1959 or 1989 will know.

Graham Beck The Joshua 2003 75cl

www.bibendum-wine.co.uk

"A Shiraz/Viognier blend. Lovely dark fruits nose with a perfumed, slightly meaty twist. Deep and satisfying. The palate shows a good concentration of rather elegant, well defined black fruits. Good ripeness, some meatiness and also nice weight and structure.
