Sancerre Rouge Pinot Noir

Delicious light red that’s perfect chilled. Packed with flavor yet really light and wonderful. Had for the first time in Paris and just found at a local wine retailer for $16. One of my new go-to reds. My wife, who rarely likes red wine also enjoys this. — 6 years ago

Cuvée Les Belles Voyes Avize Grand Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs

Wow, so much character and personality in this single vineyard. If I recall correctly there is some oak aging on this. So much depth and flavor: mineral of course but some handsome age quality and balance of sweetness and acidity. Very special. — 5 years ago

Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Minerally, lemon clawback from a tease of tropics/gooseberry. New oak gives it a little more seriousness, but not a malo/creamy mess — it’s crisp. Good “house” Sancerre — 3 years ago

Prestige Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut Champagne Chardonnay

Had this over a year ago, this is a new batch. Rich and creamy Blanc de Blanc with fruit from the villages of Avize and Oger. Fine mousse and bubble flow. Peach and sweet Apple with smoky and yeasty notes adding some lemon zest. Nice balance with toasty nutty notes, great mouthfeel on lingering finish, ending with mineral and yeasty tang. Nice! Grab one for Valentine’s Day. — 4 years ago

Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2016

Surprisingly light, turbid ruby with garnet rim. Fresh aroma of carbonic, sour cherry, violet, green olive; slight reductive funk. Slight spritz, light body (13%), thin in mid palate with high acidity, moderately high chunky tannin, prob skin and stem, and refreshing bitterness. Very pretty. Day 2 - spritz gone, acidity medium — 6 years ago
