Amour Fou

Gibbston Valley

Le Fou Central Otago Riesling 2007

At 10% alcohol--with I'm guessing 60+ g residuals--the last 9 years leave an impression that is both sweetly-floral and quenching. Not sweet enough to be sticky on the palette, this is akin to peach honeysuckle sherbet. If you're lucky to have one of these tucked away, enjoy it on a bluebird mountain day. — 10 years ago

Pairs nicely with sambal kimchi sautéed hot dogs and a side of sour cream and onion Ruffles

Domaine des Billards (Héritiers Loron)

Reserve Caveau Clos des Billards Saint-Amour Gamay 2009

Peppercorn, loamy earth and limestone meet plum on the nose. More black cherry than red, with a strong mid palate that transitions effortlessly to an elevated, almost floral (purple flowers) finish. Tannins are well integrated at this point. Enjoyed following 3 hr decant. — 11 years ago

Fin Amour

Cuvée Cuthbert Vin de Pays des Côtes Catalanes

This is a wine nerd's wine. Smells of a dark blond roux. Floral yet mellow. Not huge on the fruit. Would never pay the money for it, but fun to sip on. — 12 years ago

Le Temps des Cerises

Fou du Roi Grenache Blend
