Morgon Gamay 2015

The perfect marriage with Brie. The minerality coupled with notes of young strawberries and wet slate compliment the salty buttery goodness of a soft Brie. Has a lingering tart finish of red cherries. The best gamay/Beaujolais I've had. — 7 years ago

Perrier-Jouët

Grand Brut Champagne Blend

Lemon, jasmine flower, a little brioche. Light body, tiny bubbles, clean citric finish (maybe a little detectable RS). Fabulous foundation for my champagne flight :) — 5 years ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2010

Prunes and raisins on the nose with surprisingly high acidity in the palate. Subtle brett, but generally this is one of the more clean and polished vintages. More ripeness and primary fruit character for Musar, but with the hallmark minerality and elegant structure. Very little weight. — 6 years ago

Update: Retasted about 6 months later. This bottle showing much more jammy, cooked fruit on the mid palate. Finishes quite fresh. No brett showing today. Plums, licorice, fennel, peppermint. Tasted from Coravin.

Whitehaven

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Pale straw glass. Big perfumed nose of passion fruit, honeydew, rose, white peach, gooseberry, lemongrass, vanilla, grapefruit, and a hint of jalapeño. Medium bodied clean mild acid to the palate of grapefruit, gooseberry, lemon, and white pepper that leads to a long citrusy finish. Great with chicken, fish or conversation! 2015 even more special with perfume over the top makes sublime value at $13.99 USD. — 8 years ago

Charles Smith

Kungfu Girl Washington State Riesling 2012

The light yellow '12 Charles Smith Riesling 'Kung Fu Girl' blows away the competition for this entry-level price point. Crisp aromatics, with a corresponding flavor profile, of white peach, lemony citrus, lychee and wet stone. Slightly sweet, but with a zippy acidity that keeps it clean and focused. Immensely drinkable! — 10 years ago
