Monthly WTF guys blind tasting group. This month was our annual, and famed, Left Bank vs Right Bank theme. All wines served blind as usual. Started off with a Rosé and a champagne. Great night.

The most soft and plush wine of the night. I’d enjoy these soon as there isn’t a lot of acidity, or tannin, at this 5yr mark. Very ripe. Jammy/fruit forward...fresh squeezed blueberries and blackberries on the nose. Sweetened plum, bacon fat, boysenberry jam notes on the palate. I called this ‘14, Left Bank, St Julien. Thanks @Andrew Heffley . — 6 years ago

It was wonderful to visit the @kostabrownewinery facilities in #sebastapol today.

🍷 We sipped on the 2017 One Sixteen Chardonnay, the 2016 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, and the 2017 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. We had a tour of the facilities, taking in the stainless steel, concrete, and oak vessels where wines are fermented.

Loved learning about the founders Dan Kosta and Michael Browne, also Chris Costello, the three of whom carried Kosta Browne to critical acclaim, earning Wine Spectator’s “wine of the year” award for the 2009 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir.

The founders have since sold KB to @duckhornwine and the passion to produce exceptional wines continues with this label.

We also tasted a Champagne emblematic of what’s to come from KB under Julien Howsepian @jhowsepian
the current head winemaker. 🥂
We’re excited to taste this sparkling wine once available 🙌🙌

Green apples, sourdough, gardenias, caramel, saline. Vibrant acidity, satin texture, light bodied, long crisp tart-creamy-floral finish. Champagne-like aromatics, acid driven, pronounced tense mineral notes persist through finish. Post modern Bourgogne. — 8 years ago

A perplexing wine that we started with as a blind. We knew it was not champagne but all thought it was a field blend of chard, PN and Gamay. Maybe even some Meunier. Not a whole lot of info on this wine but supposedly 100% Chard. Has a pink color, fine mousse and I thought a little fruit in addition to the tart apple. Could easily have taken this for Pink Champagne — a year ago

Jura's finally captured my heart. Ever heard of Rocky Byun? This must be his handy work. Such a fine balancing act. Pure fruit aromas, evolve into this whacky oxidative, savoury, and rich tones.

A very agreeable pairing with Indian food, with all the nuances of curry leaf, mustard seed, and chicken essence in the wine. A friend noted that it was like a still barrel-fermented champagne. — 8 years ago
