Ripe black cherries dripping juice, a bit of new leather purse. One that’s going to last. Slightly Puckery tannins. Oak planks, smooth and warm with the sun. If the Southern weather weren’t record breaking mid-October, I could wear one of my lonesome sweaters out on the porch as the sky pinks. I’m content, dog by my side- just delicious (the wine). Crab chowder would be tasty- along with some Kelsey Lu cello. — 8 years ago

Mineral, slight acidity. Grapefruit, pomegranate. Drank it on the same night as a chablis - for a third of the price, puts the chablis to shame — 10 years ago

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our full cast of conductors include Andris Nelsons, Christoph Eschenbach, Keith Lockhart, Michael Tilson Thomas and John Williams. The beautiful and vocally talented Audra McDonald is our host for the evening along with Midori on violin and Yo-Yo Ma on cello.
This will likely be an evening to remember for some time. Program notes from the BSO "Reflecting the season-long theme, The Bernstein Centennial Celebration at Tanglewood will spotlight Bernstein's wide-ranging talents as a composer, his many gifts as a great interpreter and champion of other composers, and his role as an inspirer of a new generation of musicians and music lovers across the country and around the globe. The gala concert will feature a kaleidoscopic array of artists and ensembles from the worlds of classical music, film, and Broadway. The entire first half of the program is dedicated to selections from such brilliant Bernstein works as Candide, West Side Story, Mass, and Serenade. Music from the classical canon very dear to Bernstein's heart-selections from Mahler's Des Knaben Wunderhorn and music by Copland-plus a new work by John Williams, makes up a good portion of the program's second half; the finale of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony brings the program to a dramatic close."
We're revisiting some producer bottles from our late Spring France vacation earlier this year.
Nose of sweet grass, wet minerals, apricot skin, spring rain on flowers and ripe lemon. Palate has curious light, sweet citrus notes, tropical yellow fruits, this bottle is alive!
Photos of Jean Jacques thieving the 2017 Puligny-Montrachet out for us to sample, the modest sign indicating you've arrived at the most interesting biodynamic place in Saint Aubin and our bottle of the evening.
24hr Update: Sweet, fermented tropical fruit. Honestly I believe this will be even better in another day. — 7 years ago

Awesome bottle, so mineral driven, toasted brioche spread with quince jam.

I don’t know what it is about this wine, or rosé in general for that matter... I want to like it as it feels elegant and fresh on the fore pallet, I want to love it as a matter of fact, but it seems as if there are hallow particles in the liquid after the mid pallet. There is something hiding in it, it is somewhere in there but my pallet just doesn’t grasp it! Then, towards the middle of the glass, bottle possibly, it all comes together like the latter part of a Frank Schubert cello piece and reminds me that I need to try more rosé wine. — 7 years ago
Ripe juicy black cherries with blackberries and oak. Adult dessert for a reasonable price. I’m pairing it with an authentic baked ziti and rustic olive baguette smeared with sweet butter. Yummy! Jazz? Kelsey Lu. Cello? Yes! — 8 years ago
On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon for David Zinman conducting the BSO through Mozart and two Schumann pieces. On cello today is the amazing Yo-Yo Ma, his first weekend appearance this summer and the Lawn is packed!
Bright cherry and red raspberry, medium acidity, long finish, possibly our favorite OR rosé of the season. — 8 years ago
A killer Chardonnay from the Columbia Gorge area of Washington. Cello Vineyard is one of the oldest vineyards in WA. Michael Savage has a way of allowing these grapes to shine. The vines producing these grapes are from plantings in the 70's.
Slight hints of citrus, yellow apples, pears, pie crust & that particular mineral character that only comes from the Gorge. Very well balanced and not over bearing with Malo. Simply delicious! — 9 years ago
True lemon cello is made in Serrento per Deb. This has to be one of the best I've had. — 11 years ago

We're revisiting some producer bottles from our late Spring France vacation earlier this year.
Nose of under-ripe tropical fruits, banana skin, light oak touch. Palate has yummy papaya, under-ripe peach, tangerine and sweet oak.
Photos of the Jadot (Update, Bouchard!) Chateau with its beautiful colored slate roof (to the left of the chateau its the conservatory where we had an epic lunch during our visit and they used to overwinter their citrus trees in here many, many years ago), pictures of the first room of the most amazing library cellar in all of Burgundy (the subsequent rooms are even more amazing) and our bottle of the evening.
24hr Update, sweet oak and fermented tropical fruits just stunning today, last bottle. ☹️
OMG Update: somehow I grabbed pics from our Bouchard visit, argh! The only Jadot thing in the collage is the bottle, so sorry! — 7 years ago
