OMFG. So good. Lemon oil, green apple, green papaya, slate, mineral, magnolia flowers, m+ acidity, nicely hidden elegant oak. Incredibly fresh and old school. Especially great for an “off” vintage. — 5 years ago

Nice, have some '15, haven't found '16 yet, a tough vintage from hail and weather, so ~30% of normal yeild, only the best grapes actually made it into bottle

Cuvée Alex Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2012

Excited to check in on this! Harmonious, lengthy, and heady with its perfume. Great memories of tastings with Bobby at my old job, this cuvée named after his son was always a highlight. To me it really focuses on the synergy that old vine Grenache and Mourvèdre can have. There’s a perfect balance of soaked red and black fruits, garrigue, and an exotic spice savoriness that I just love. Structural compliment is there, with the Mourvèdre’s tannic backbone countering the mid-palate weight of the Grenache. As with many 2012s in the Rhône, this has such a great personality, a match of elegance and richness that bring so much joy in the glass. Perfect for turkey day! — 6 years ago

Enfer D'Arvier Petit Rouge 2010

Foillard but make it alpine.

Fragrant, light and silky (cedar, rose hip, red and black currant, alpine berries). vintage after vintage, this wine always gets me. Paired with simple pasta and lentil salad. One site, one variety, one wine — no wine or place or label like it anywhere else in the world.

Alex 88 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Straight without decant. Nose has a vegetal and herbs component which i like. Rhubart, sage and spice and red fruits. Palate is quite light and smooth with mineral but still got enough tannin for storage for another 10 yrs. There is chocolate, nutmeg, red pepper, — 5 years ago

Beaujolais-Villages Gamay 2018

Nose has cut strawberry, ripe raspberry, dry chalk, baking spice and light alcohol.

Palate has ripe cherry, fresh raspberry, dried black cherry and dried cranberry sprinkled with allspice.

Decanted ~2.5h, a young wine that would appreciate a few more years in the bottle. Tonight it paired successfully with homemade burgers from a local farmer in Columbia Co. NY (Kinderhook Farm).

Happy Memorial Day to all, especially those who have come before me to protect the freedom we enjoy in the USA, Thank you. 🇺🇲

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Cali cabs all smell about the same to me: well polished with cedar and some Eucalyptus.

Tasting notes carry on this nose. Very elegant red fruits, sweetened by time and ripeness, almost akin to candied fruits in the fruitcakes aftertaste, strong and handsome, yet delicate and pretty., this has everything you want in a Cali can of this age. Nice strong Eucalyptus to round out the wine.
Good one for the Gavin and Stacey reunion show..

@TheSkip Ab fab indeed! Sometimes the Club really comes through. Never a hotel wine, so that’s cool.

JR wrote that sometimes he’s not right. I appreciated that sentiment. But he’s batting above average. I thought this was great at $20ish but would have been livid at the release price.

Les Murgers des Dents de Chien Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2015

Les Murgers abuts the Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Vineyard of Champ Gain. Wow, this is a bargain! Elegant nose of ripe stone fruits, citrus and bits of vanilla and biscuit. On the palate ripe apple, peach and pear with lemon zest and some sweetness. Lingering, rich ending with an underlying mineral character. — 6 years ago
