CVed 12/29/16. As I remember it from years ago. Funky earthy notes and darker cherry notes that carry through to palate and long finish. Different wine from other three. Opened 1/21/17 at MRs dinner. Tasting the same. Crowd favorite. — 9 years ago

Clos de la Vigne au Saint Corton Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2006

Figured as much! I only discovered it a year ago when we were down there planning the wedding.

Au-dessus du Gros Mont Champagne Chardonnay 2012

$565. Less bold / oxidative than Anselme. Also less evolution from time of opening. Lightly sparkling, saline, long finish. Would not chase currently. — 7 years ago

Au Bon Climat

Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2009

More burgundian than California in its execution, a sideways moment in which we loosen our embrace of the Sonoma Coast, and get our Mind Behind this masterpiece. You should also mind your behind. — 9 years ago

As soon as I write a blog post about why I'm not the biggest fan of Napa Cab I start finding a few I love. Coincidence? I think not. — 11 years ago
