Pol Roger

Brut Blanc De Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 2008

The 2008 BdB Pol Roger has apples and lemon, and some Christmas stuffing characteristics too. Very open and inviting.

Bringing in the New Year quietly but happily, having spent the latter part of the day hanging art while a stew slowly cooked. Cara is 7+ months along so not really holding her own when it comes to Champagne, or any wine for that matter. Extra glasses for me...

I can relate...my wife is almost 4 months along so the extra glasses come my way! Happy New Year to you and your family.

Anakota

Helena Dakota Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Enjoyed this tasty and teenaged Anakota Cab at Amis in Philadelphia with a lively view of the kitchen and delicious steak. Rich and peppery with a bite. Lots of fun chatting with the kitchen crew and the rest of the team at Amis while witnessing some glorious dessert prep (pictured: melted chocolate in ramekins)... Thank you @Cara Zimmerman for the great recommendation! — 6 years ago

Čara Korcula 2016

Not knowing much about Croatian wine, we asked the advice of our waiter who's knowledge clearly exceeded the requirements of the majority of his job. A beautiful crisp, clean wine with a great balance of dry vs. fruit. — 7 years ago

Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau

Blanc Fumé de Pouilly Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Very pale yellow, almost devoid of color. The nose is bright and alive with ripe honeydew melon, green fig, citrus zest, alfalfa sprouts, and fresh grapefruit juice. Gorgeous flavors come in waves; tangerine, citrus oils, lime, lemon zest, lemongrass, cara cara orange, white grapefruit. The acidity is literally laser focused, like the edge of a perfectly sharpened chef's knife. Minerality comes towards the end; clean, white river stones, granite. Hints of wheat grass and radish mix with wet stones on the long lingering finish. This will get even better over the next 5 years. One of the last wines from the true Jedi Master of Sauvignon Blanc. — 8 years ago

Kongsgaard

The Judge Napa Valley Chardonnay 2015

@Mike R just being a plain old STUD. No better way to step off the plane than to be poured a glass and lots of SMILES. Honeyed apricot, Cara Cara orange, hyacinth. A big boy that needs time. — 6 years ago

Hyacinth?! Damn, Joe that’s some pretty impressive botanical nuance. I need to get out there and smell some more exotic flowers.

I expected it to be tight and rather acidic but it's surprisingly mellow and soft for a young wine. Jammy with hint of plums. — 9 years ago

Five Vintners

Admiral's Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Farmed organically, this 2014 is fresh, bright and reminiscent of Cara Cara oranges & pink grapefruit with Kieffer lime aromatic and Tahitian lime zest/ruby red grapefruit in the finish, which builds for 5 seconds before peaking and lasting a good 20 seconds in all! A beautiful bowl of exotic citrus that is an awesome match with a ripe and runny Humboldt Fog goat cheese!! — 9 years ago

Bodega DiamAndes

Clos de los Siete Malbec Blend 2008

NOTAS DE DEGUSTAÇÃO (Acompanhando uma Pizza)

De coloração vermelho rubi bastante intensa, com um interessante aroma de frutas vermelhas bem maduras, muito equilibrado e harmonioso, com taninos de boa qualidade e final de média persistencia. Um vinho quse perfeito tecnicamente - o Roland é “o cara” pra isso…mas sem aquela pegada diferenciada que eu normalmente espero de grandes vinhos. O Parker deu 90 Pontos pra ele.

Čara Pošip

Very interesting white, Posip. The closest analogue would be Torrontes.
Dry white wine that is strangely seductive, every sip entertains your palate and even your lips just like a kiss. Slightly heavier body and minimal fruit with grapefruit, pear, and green apple. Lovely Croatian creation;-)
