Friendly Lion

Calvados Pays d'Auge Apple Brandy 1980

A present from a very good old friend of mine from years ago. Could never find enough of a celebration to justify it, but tonight felt right. Same age as me. I think this has aged better though. 🎄👍🏼 — 10 years ago

Château Miraval

Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend

A pretty tremendous effort. Dry, crisp acidity but super food friendly. Really enjoyable bottling — 11 years ago

Langhe Nebbiolo 2010

Really, really nice, esp at this price point. Light color, nice fruit, flowery nose, serious tannins. Very food friendly and flexible. A joy. Mellowed out on day 2, but I liked it more when it was sharper day 1.

North Coast Syrah 2013

Black and a hint of blue fruit. Hints of dried herbs, olive, meat. Bright acidity and a fleshy fruit character on the palate. Tannins run right down the palate without being too overwhelming. Definitely old world in style but still showing lots of new world approachability. To me northern Rhône carries more earthy and non-fruit tones. I really enjoy how food friendly this is. — 10 years ago

I've always enjoyed these wines. Never overly alcoholic (this is 12.1%!!!) so you can have a second or third glass. Food friendly. Very drinkable. Not going to be a blockbuster but is always consistently reliable for a great glass of juice. — 10 years ago

Reminds me a bit of Beaujolais… it’s not quite carbonic but it has some bubbly fruit and a touch of pepper. Very friendly and interesting from a grape and region that people overlook too often. — 10 years ago
