Rick's Wine Cellar Selections

Wine Spectator Cover - June 15, 2001

 People who know me know that I taste, read and write about, and buy and trade wine on a regular basis. Folks regularly ask me what I am drinking or buying. These are selected wines in my cellar that may not yet appear in my wine journal tasting notes. They may be recent purchases, selections awaiting a special occasion, or just bottles waiting for their day! Stay tuned for future tasting notes. These bottles may be available for sale or trade.  
Read on to see future wine tastings - wines still in my cellar! 

  Check out my interview in Wine Spectator Magazine
Each month this leading publication features a collector in their Collecting column.
I was the featured collector in the June 15th, 2001 issue.

95 points Robert Parker: "This wine saw a small amount of aging in new oak cask, resulting in a more international style when released. Still youthful, the dense ruby/purple-colored 1990 exhibits a classy nose of black fruits, spice box, vanillin, and kirsch liqueur. Full-bodied and pure, with a subtle touch of oak, this fleshy, stylized, yet authoritatively flavorful, rich Chateauneuf du Pape has reached its plateau of maturity, where it should remain for 7-8 years."
