Jacques Selosse

Brut Rosé Champagne Blend

Speechless! Long, lonely afternoon with 2-hour family Zoom...pared down trad turkey feast with just the two of us. But, hard to feel down with a glass of Selosse Rose. Such finesse and balance... I searched two years for a source... and now I swallow hard and purchase in 3’s. Easily the best Rose in my Champagne history. — 6 years ago

Dragonette Cellars

Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2009

Very pleased that this 2009 vintage tasted better than the disappointing 2010 vintage I had a few months ago. Muscular and interesting, with enough fruit, tannin and alcohol remaining after 11 years to demonstrate its Central Coast origins. Enjoyed this with a pared down Thanksgiving dinner of Julia Child’s Caneton aux Cerises instead of turkey. A calculated risk, and worth it. — 5 years ago

Canonica a Cerreto

Sandiavolo Toscana Red Blend 2011

Nice super Tuscan. Drank the 2011 vintage in 2020. Pared well with pasta dishes and steak. Smooth nice fruit. Because of the age it does need to breath for a while. — 6 years ago

Luciano Sandrone

Dolcetto d'Alba 2017

Dinner w/Barbara Sandrone. A respectable Dolcetto (and from Alba, not Dogliani). Pared quizzically w/dessert, but it still fared ok. With its high toned fruit, medium body, and sharp acidity, this is more of an appetizer wine. — 7 years ago
