...and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open, and show riches
Ready to drop upon me; that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.

Cancello Del Barone

Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 2008

Funky moldy orange skin. Rose bush. Roasted cherry, lemon and black olive. Lovely tannins that form virtual dust clouds on the palate. — 10 years ago

Kapcsándy Family Winery

State Lane Vineyard Rosé Blend 2009

Tight on the pop but opened up quickly. Great beach wine with an interesting weight and complexity--not your standard mid day sipping rose. Open this when the clouds start to come in and you put on your hoodie....you are ready for a night of drinking.... — 11 years ago

Passing Clouds

Macedon Ranges Chardonnay 2011

Strong oaky Chardonnay nose but extremely light on the palette - apples are the dominant flavour so it has a bit of a still cider characteristic, almost Jura like - only 11.5 - I like! — 12 years ago

Domaine Pierre Labet

Schamsburg tasty bright strawberry!!
Beaune cherry clouds!

Gatekeepers Blend Mendocino Ridge Pinot Noir 2012

Sweet tarts, the pink cherry ones, and just a hint of spree, the coating, that initial metallic sour shock. Head change keeps getting foggy...the cloud spirits are strong in here. I keep thinking I'm tasting chalk but then I keep feeling like I'm tasting ocean clouds. I'm having a fun time with this right now at work but this bottle calls for a day of rain or a windy pause in the hills. The confusion of this drink is tricky. It took twice around to have these evaluations and perhaps its ready now but then again maybe the fog becomes something pretty in the end...but when? — 10 years ago

Sweet tarts and spree means the producer probably acidified. Gotta love that citric acid crunch. Wanted to make it down yest but failed. Another time.

@Lily Davis well now you have my info in case you want to connect. This kitchen is always spinning and a very fun little space in the universe should you decide to stop in over here.

Acidified hmmm? I don't feel it's artificial in my tasting at least...the Mendo Ridge is a pretty chilly place...a sunny ripe vintage a rare occurrence. 💖🔀💰. 😉
