Lover of: all things light, minerally, & red; in search of the perfect Chenin blanc, cru Beaujolais, mountain Nebbiolo, & varietals unknown.
Crunchy new wave Rhone but don’t let the bright tone fool— with air it fills out substantially. Slightly Underripe red cherries, pomegranate seeds, cola. A golden labradoodle of a Rhone. — 17 days ago
Very smooth Barbera w heft. Well made. — 2 months ago
Drank neat, slightly chilled. Cola nuts, cola, star fruit. — 4 days ago
Barbera done right, despite the 14.5% abv (yikes)- farmers wine that has more elegance than most. Jet blue black color, wild blackberries, black cherry compote, with a firm but biting palate—air, as always, yolks the substantial palate together. — 12 days ago
I adore this producer & their Sauvignon Blanc- this has an elegance & lightness of touch elevating the varietal. — a month ago
Quite a bit of complexity in all its pear skin, lemon curd, & apple notes. Alluring in it’s fruitiness, surprisingly for me. Kicked off meal w friends, & a hit. — 2 months ago
Unfortified Pedro Jiménez matured under flor. Still wine for sherry heads. Round, yeasty & broad minus the bite of spirits. — 10 days ago
Substantial yet ethereal, minerality radiates out like a fan, & the notes- apricot pit, white asparagus, red apple skin- feel balanced against that Lauer acidic cut. Serious juice. — a month ago
Nothing petite, quality Chablis, ethereal even. — 2 months ago

My experience with Beajoulais Blanc has been unmemorable at best, until now. Very alive in the mouth, slight, pickled apple notes and tonic soda snap to the finish. Nice balance to acid that refreshes palate to return for more. Really nicely done, & a surprise. — a day ago
