Santa Barbara Historic Vineyards Collection Los Alamos Vineyards Chardonnay 2019

Talk about classy (or classic) Chardonnay, don’t matter really, this is both! This is in its own league when it comes to Chard. It’s crisp yet round, bright yet balanced, and acidic yet unctuous. Not old world but not typical Cali Chard. Must try this ABC. Cheers. — 6 months ago

The single vineyard ABC chards and pinots have always been instructive and must-try. R.I.P. Jim.

Wise words.

Domaine Dozon

Clos du Saut au Loup Chinon Cabernet Franc

Young and lean, this presents the classic aromas and flavors you expect. Earth and mineral driven with slightly underripe red and black fruit and veggies. A wine that only works well with a meal. — 2 years ago

Domaine les Pallières

Au Petit Bonheur Rosé Grenache Blend 2019

Absolutely delicious. Super pale salmon pink. Quite an incredible palate, almost peach-like in texture (peach skin) and flavour. A refreshing sour twist on the finish. More please. — 6 months ago

Nielson Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

Light garnet with a clear rim and a nose of tabacco/leather with spices like clove & cinnamon (not much fruit nose). Smooth in the mouth with mild acidity & low tannins. Dark plum, blackberry with same flavors as on the nose (a bit spicy on the tongue). Not your average Pinot but quite nice and will pair well with lots of foods. — 8 months ago
