2007’s are starting to come on. The usual Leflaive lemon custard, but with the leanest of the vintage. I think this Bienvenue shows better then the Batard. — 6 years ago

Tonight's wine is the 2014 Custard Sonoma Valley Chardonnay.

On the nose there are notes of pineapple, papaya, pear, mandarin orange, coconut, almond and vanilla.

On the palate we are getting lemon, pineapple, vanilla bean, caramelized sugar and a touch of butter.

There is sharp tingly acidity with a creamy mouth feel. All the way through you get that crisp clean long finish.

Very nice for the price. Very quaffable!

Yet another Dressner gem. Floral aromatics, lovely balance of acidity, creaminess and rich fruit. Lemon custard on the finish. Day 3: accidentally left this out overnight to slow ox. Some much structure and purity. Great stuff. — 8 years ago

Unspeakable. The wine looked oxidized but when I tasted I lost my voice. Cream, custard, all the way through lemon-lime to stone fruits, tropical fruits . The oak influence extremely low aloud me to get clean flavors that shown the qualities of the wine maker and the wine's terroir. Finish long stayed for minutes. — 9 years ago

This sparkling wine opens with bright aromas of pear, pineapple and apricot, followed by nuances of custard, peach cobbler, and almond. The elegant palate features fruitful elements of apple, melon, papaya and lemon verbena. The persistent finish is driven by generous and bright acidity.

Tres Beautiful nose 👃👃👃
Caramel apple-banana brûlée top notes, pear and spice underneath, still-pert lemon zest and peach custard, too. Palate delivers that Cali-leonine body -ie big! - but with enough brisk acidity to keep things more than decent. Long, with flavors that echo the nose and all around beautiful balance. Drinking super well at moment, near its peak and rewarding this bit of bottle age with plenty of secondary characteristics. PLUS:: #winebling (yes, there are some tartrate crystals, folks - all just adding to the allure - game on!) — 9 years ago
