Domaine Grand Veneur La Fontaine Châteauneuf-du-Pape Roussanne

Gorgeous summer peach aroma, great weight and texture, very full on the palate. Perfect with our Smoked Soft-shell Crab. — 9 months ago

Perrier-Jouët

Belle Epoque Rosé Brut Champagne Blend 2012

This was too young and way too tight. It was minimally expressive. Floral and red cranberry. Palette was expansive but it was tightly wound. Finish was short. This needs much time. — 5 years ago

Who doesn't unfortunately? Leflaive (08!) Ramonet, Piuze (on a 2010!), etc. What is going on in Burgundy?

Belle de Nuit Central Coast Gewürztraminer 2019

Chasing my chaotic self-administered pandemic hair chopping with a Gewurtz from Arroyo Seco which seems to me apropos as I imagine the region as wind-swept and tousled. This wine is not so much and that is a good thing. All is in harmony. There is just the right amount of everything and it hits you in order—the lychees are followed by a green lawn leading to the flower garden full of roses and gardenias all spirited along by a nice amount of acid and powered by a prickling tannin. I’m not normally the biggest Gewurtz fan but I’d reach for this a second time. I’d maybe even pair it with a “hard to pair” thing like artichoke. Something about the floral nature of both I think could line up. Is that crazy? Maybe. But this is coming from someone who just used her kitchen scissors to give herself an intentionally asymmetrical haircut. — 4 years ago
