All three were delightful (not pictured was Claude Riffault Rose), the Hermitage and d’Yquem were especially delicious. My first time actually trying d’Yquem (but I have some in the cellar). Was very grateful that my local wine shop was opening the good stuff…
d’Yequem was rich and elegant, buttery and fruity and not overly sweet. Could have sipped a lot more of that…

Excuse me…
Hmm… I find this hard to believe lol
Was the tasting included only with a significant purchase? That’s pretty unreal
First bottle: nice!
Second bottle: how generous, that’s a real treat.
Third bottle: holy suitcases Batman! 🤩
I think I live in the wrong neighborhood.
that would be the all-time best store sampling ever just with the d’Yquem.
Where is this wine store, and do they always sample at this level? Damn.
All killer wines
I used to open fun, rare and sought after bottles to sample out often – including the CDY. Wine is meant to be shared, life is short, rip the cork and go.
Shout out the wine shop you Cad!
Wait, what?
Rhino wine!! We love anything La Spinetta!
What kind of high end shop is this? My poor self is unaware of this ever being a possibility 😂
D’Yquem samples? Must be a high rent hood.
Show up in different disguises throughout the day, haha
Illegal
Wow
Yquem??? What a score.
