Finger Lakes Dry Gewürztraminer 2017

Nose has amazing Gardenia aromas, sweet honey, freshly milled white pepper and cold wax.

Palate has over-ripe cantaloupe, honey drizzle on green melon, (light) lemon/orange zest and juiced Clementine (faint). Light on the acidity and a bit long on the finish. Decanted 60m. (92-93 points, very nice)

Spectacular pairing to fried eggs (backyard egg factory paying its dues even in the cold of winter) over toasted couscous, softened garlic & red onion, fresh green onion and the star of the dish za'atar (I could eat this on cereal!).

Estate Vineyard Chardonnay 2015

Pale Lemon in colour. Smoky sulphidic notes - struck match to the max - like a burnt matchbox factory. A totally different story on the beautiful medium + bodied palate verging on opulent. A sweetish peachy palate - downright delicious. Some good judges say this is the best Chardonnay in Australia. If not, definitely in the top 3. Wonderful with fresh oysters. — 5 years ago

I agree with you, @Bob McDonald. Very hard to locate this in the US.

@Ron R Yes I imagine it would be. A small production with high demand. He actually offers this wine en primeur where you pay now and receive in 9 to 12 months time.

Love Paul Hobbs! What a cool collaboration. This wine is rich & elegant, but just right with a simple pasta at home on a cold Thursday night. — 6 years ago

Agreed, I enjoy posting bottles you can't pronounce, or could do so with an err of confusion.

Yeah, but she's wearing a mask now, so your mind has to wander a little more.

Domaine Berthet Bondet

Château-Chalon Savagnin 2009

Vintage 2009 | Infanticide. Very intens smell, smell of a textiles factory, soft touch, great balance, all kind of nuts, for me one of the greatest French wines. Paired with 24 months Comté. — 5 years ago

Alexander VS The Ham Factory Ribera del Duero Tinto Fino Blend 2015

Fresh olive and sugar free boysenberry chutney waft in this nose.

More of that sugar free fruit leather, purple sage and fig smoked over cedar staves.
Good foggy fruit play with a dark back palette, where anise and herbaceous acidity take this wine to frontal chewy tannic afterthought.
Lingering chilly bits. Poor Alexander.

So much going on in this post @MaJ CappS love it. Alexander vs The Ham Factory was a solid film but it is no Godzilla vs Mothra.

Alexander vs The Ham Factory Crianza Tinto Fino

The brown eyed SIL rocked in with this fantastic bottle of taste sensation ... is there such a thing as a bad crianza/Rioja.. well it ain't this.. it's rare I think wine enhances food but with a barbecued steak it is heaven.. so many flavours that my palette can comprehend... this is a NADAL — 8 years ago

MICHAEL COOPER DipWSET
9.1

Lovely white wine from #armenia #oakfermented medium yellow color, intense aromas of perfumed jazmin and vainilla candle with candle wax and beeswax. On the palate it’s waxy and almost off dry, the fruit is rich and ripe. Acidity is medium and alcohol is medium 13.5%. The finish is long. Reminds me of a Viognier. — 5 years ago
