Vinus Maximus

when I'm with you, all I get is wine thoughts 🎶

Trying to work out fact from fiction in the world of wine. Lost in a cold cellar, 6 thousand bottles deep.

@Ford_Nick Water and coffee

[Vinus Maximus @VinusMaximus]

This was an interesting bottle for sure. Not amazing but it kept me taking sniff after sniff trying to suss out what was going on. Gotta try more Rostaing!

@Latinpig66 ‘13 is probably my favorite vintage for SQN. So good!

[Vinus Maximus @VinusMaximus]

Who’s had this? Seems like the producer only makes a couple barrels in exceptional years so pretty rare. Though not terribly expensive at ~100 EUR. Wondering if any good.

[Vinus Maximus @VinusMaximus]

@FoodPleaser Fuck outta here.

[Vinus Maximus @VinusMaximus]

@WHATSFORDlNNER Nah

[Vinus Maximus @VinusMaximus]

@teamhrc @AmauryCarrasco @capitolgrille Haven’t had Maya in so long…

[Vinus Maximus @VinusMaximus]

@Constan70997526 @feltonroadwine Had their ‘22 Pinot recently, what a pleasant surprise!

[Vinus Maximus @VinusMaximus]

@WallStreetApes @Constan70997526 That’s pretty gay ngl

[Vinus Maximus @VinusMaximus]

@SeacatGardens Sad…

[Vinus Maximus @VinusMaximus]

@Havenlust Terrible Douro wine (which I’m happily passing on).

[Vinus Maximus @VinusMaximus]

Ok, I’m just going to say it: most of the wines of the Douro Valley are so uninspired.

Yes, yes, yes, I am generalizing and it’s not fair to the (relatively) few producers out there doing interesting things but damn…

[Vinus Maximus @VinusMaximus]

@chamath In!

[Vinus Maximus @VinusMaximus]

1/3 of a bottle of wine over the course of two hours is the perfect amount. Don’t @ me.

[Vinus Maximus @VinusMaximus]

@JS_WineDad @TorbreckBarossa Torbreck Les Amis 2004 is, to this day, one of the best wines I’ve ever had. Straight knockout!

[Vinus Maximus @VinusMaximus]

@Jeremyonwine Saint Pierre punches above its weight

[Vinus Maximus @VinusMaximus]

Grolleau is known for being a “meh” grape: not much personality, sort of simple, bland. Anne Claude Leflaive, however, has managed to produce quite the wine in 2020. Crowd pleaser with all around positive reviews at a recent lunch for 6. Will try some more. Cheers!

@greg16676935420 That’s Jeff Bezos’ cousin

[Vinus Maximus @VinusMaximus]

Spotted in the wild, this old grandpa is holdin up just fine! Love me a Rioja with some age to it. Cheers!
