Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Excited to try it in two weeks for our wine dinner with Alex.
Enjoy - the best Napa cab by far. Its amazing that they can produce a wine like that at their price point!! They are soooo much better than the usual typical 350$ napa cab!!!!!
Agreed. I’m fortunate to have been on the list a few years and have visited the property, but I’m excited to see how the ‘21 is showing!

Beaujolais Villages Gamay 2021
juicy, tannic gamay with black cherry and some plum flavors, it feels like it has residue on the tongue adding some funk to the glass. i had this w/ maitake mushrooms on the menu at lalou. it’s really unique. i haven’t had a gamay with that much texture to it. i am a fan. — 2 months ago

Foillard’s “Cuvée Corcelette” comes from the eponymous climate in Morgan where Jean’s holdings include vines over 80 years of age. This is a stunning wine that is so Foillard in style: fresh and deep.
Popped and poured; enjoyed over two days. Consistent over both days but seemed to round out a little more on Day 2. The wine pours a deep, hazy ruby with a near opaque core and an almost fuchsia rim; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears and some signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with sensational notes of macerated raspberries, red flowers, carrot juice, celery root, chanterelles, granitic earth and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and so easy to love. Super balanced. Drink now and over the next 10+ years. — 8 hours ago
