Brut Champagne Blend 2018
Absolutely lovely Brut sparkler from England (seriously!!), tight bubbles, moderately rich, long, lingering finish, really quite fine!!
Lovely rich English brut sparkler, tiny bubbles, longish finish, very good!!
Domaine Saint Nicolas
Blanquette de Limoux 2018

Crazy thing is that I have THREE more I “checked in” that obviously never uploaded — at this point, I may be scarce around here until it’s fixed, no reason to be constantly frustrated!!
My latest one took a few hours to show up
Domaine Jean Dauvissat Pere & Fils
Montmains Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014
I have to admit I had a bunch of 14s from a range of producers that convinced me it was a classic old-school Chablis year. But they’re long gone!
Éric Texier
Domaine de Pergaud Côtes du Rhône-Brézème Vieille Roussette Roussanne 2006
Lovely honey and mineral aromas and flavors in this 20-year-old northern Rhone, solid acidity, rich and quite viscous, lingering finish, has held up very well!!

Domaine de Pergaud Brézème Vieille Serine Syrah 2004
Dark fruits, iodine, iron, mineral, this has such great balance and depth, this is really outstanding, our WOTN!!
Domaine François Raveneau
Chapelot Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1989
@Dave i would also try Bessin, Droin, Picq, and Gautheron if you come across them. Tribut is great value. There’s a family connection to Dauvissat, if memory serves. I also love Pattes Loup and De Moor, in a more oxidized style.
@Doug Powers yes, Jean Dauvissat Pere et Fils run by the great Fabien Dauvissat is one the young bright lights in Chablis.
Thanks, friends!

Côtes du Rhône Brézème Syrah 2001
Still quite lovely, iodine, mineral, iron, medium-bodied, just a lovely aged Syrah, long, lingering finish, Eric doing a great job!!
A great President once asked, “Is our children learning?” You’ve gone from entering your notes 8 times to 2. So the answer to that timeless question is yes.”🤣💯

Colson Canyon Vineyard Syrah 2008
Great, thanks a lot for the feedback!!! I will check for the other references but I must admit that US wines are not that much available in Belgium. However, Ravenswood is sold at my local wineshop though
@Anthony De Blasi, you say Ravenswood is sold at your local shop (and I apologize last night for not realizing you’re in Belgium) — note that the really inexpensive Ravenswood Zin is just so-so, try one of the single vineyard to get a better feel.
👍thanks
