Waipara Valley Pinot Noir 2015

Fantastic, if understated Sauv Blanc from the preeminent Waipara area of NZ! Starts very calm, but opens to a. Beautiful bouquet of citrus, vanilla, even kiwi and breadfruits - first taste was underwhelming . . . but just wait for this to open!! — 9 years ago

Cantina Bartolo Mascarello

Barolo Nebbiolo 2012

Tasting with Alan & Maria Teresa at Bartolo Mascarello. To see the cantina in person, to learn the history and hear how ferociously it's being preserved - I am grateful for every sip I've had. And particularly this one.
One of the parcels (Ruè) was pretty much decimated by hail in 2012, so it is a much smaller component of the blend than typical. A seriously elegant wine.

Clay Shales Overberg Chardonnay 2014

Friend asks if winemaker buddy can join dinner. You say of course. Winemaker buddy (real name Peter-Alan Finlayson) brings his HOLY EPIC wines. I don't know if a South African chard usually tastes like Meursault and Chablis's love child, but this sure does. And I'm totally into it. Thank you friend (real name @Julia van der Vink). — 10 years ago

Amazing depth and clarity (in the wine, not in my head, at least not by the point in the evening when I was tasting it).
