Sante Arcangeli
Integrato Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir 2022
Still one of the best Pinots from the Santa Cruz Mountain AVA. — 2 months ago
Tenuta Roveglia
Vigne di Catullo Lugana Trebbiano 2021
Aromas of fondant and lemon and perfectly ripened yellow pear.
Silky texture, this must go through a complete malolactic conditioning.
One of the few good wines I prefer served refrigerator cold. — 2 months ago
Buttercream
California Chardonnay 2023
Un-palletable
So bad I don't even know if I want to make vinegar from it. — 11 days ago
Miguel Torres
Forcada Penedès White Blend 2019
Very dry, high acid, high mineral content. Under ripe yellow pears and green apples.
Opens nicely after 15-20 minutes exposure.
Maybe not one for enjoying on it's own but a good one to pair with fatty fish or pork dishes. — a month ago
Domaine Taupenot-Merme
St. Romain Chardonnay 2022
I tried this 10 hours after it was opened and it's one of those white burgundies that gets better with some air time.
Great texture from the soft minerals - limestone and marl?
Just enough acid to keep it fresh.
So approachable. This is the wine I would serve at events or weddings.
A Kermit Lynch find. — 2 months ago
Domaine Taupenot-Merme
Auxey Duresses Chardonnay 2020
This is really the best white bourg I've had from Kermit Lynch imports.
White florals yellow apple skins, green and yellow pears.
Great crunchy texture that compliments the tart fresh acidity, Full of minera. Wonderfully long finish. Definitely a worthwhile find. — a month ago
Domaine de l'Aujardière (Eric Chevalier)
Les Paquelières Val de Loire Pinot Noir 2023
Open this an hour before you serve it at 15-16 degrees.
Once it opens there's terrific ripe yellow pear, apple and florals. Great texture. A minerality that stands up to the near residual sweetness.
Perfect pairing for scallops or ceviche. — 2 months ago
Herencia Altes
Terra Alta Garnatxa Negra 2022
A good standard Garnacha. Dried fruits and fruit florals, potpourri.
This is from the chalky slate areas but not licoricella.
It's kind of medium everything and a good example of what you might find on an exam or the wine you would use to introduce your friends to Garnacha from this region. — 2 months ago

Acid Heads pay heed - I love high acid wines full of green fruit but with this one may have actually removed the enamel from my teeth. But I still kind of enjoyed it! — 3 days ago
