Lover of: all things light, minerally, & red; in search of the perfect Chenin blanc, cru Beaujolais, mountain Nebbiolo, & varietals unknown.
Shared a 187.5ml bottle, end of meal. Delightful, dry toffee & candy apple notes minus the RS. — a month ago
Taught, funky & blood orange note serious. Quite delicious. Screw top. — 14 days ago
French Role, ie Vermentino. Decent but not particularly satisfying, could imagine a perfect summer wine with that brine & white flower thing going for it — 19 days ago
A mammoth, chiseled beast of a wine that really needs extensive decanting and/or aging. Despite a modest decant, imagine am tasting a tease of its true potential. — a month ago
Kicking off a meal w friends, I want to say this has no business as an under 20$ blanc de blanc from Burgundy— but boy it does. Rich yeasty chard, not the last word on detail or the finest mousse… but 18.97$!!!!! — a month ago
Haven’t had in ages. Plenty of dill, vanilla, & red fruits. — 15 days ago
Shockingly good Oregon Albariño. A Meyer lemon rind kind of thing going on, but there’s structure & some heft here too. Distinct mid palate & length too. Whoa. Normally around 18$ but found for about 10, which is part of the shock. — a month ago
My last bottle from this vintage. So pretty, has some depth despite its light tannin foundation, though it seems a bit less focused & concentrated since my last tasting. On the downward slope? — a month ago

The good: drinking great now, really open knit & accessible, almost pop and pour, and great fruit with just enough of a hint of bacon fat on the finish. Depth too. What I question is its anonymity as a Northern Syrah, & I’m not sure that’s even a criticism. Certainly not old school Syrah, and the delicious factor overrides everything debatable. — 4 days ago
