Our friends deck coming along nicely. The kitchen bar & lighting is in.

Tastes really good tonight. Showing more of the right kind of oxidative notes I enjoy.

Golden & green apple, braised pear, overripe pineapple, lemon, lime juice, nougat, some apple cider, vanillin, yeast, bread dough & crust, sea fossils, grey volcanics, limestone, white spice, gentle, powdery chalkiness, micro oxygenation, excellent with spring flowers, yellow flowers & withering white lilies. Excellent acidity. The finish is rush, smartly balanced, elegant and persistent. — 6 years ago

Great stuff. 2012 vintage. Violets, lilacs, some savory notes of grilled meat. Really good acidity keeps this bright and balances the weight of the dark fruit. Tannins give it good finish — 7 years ago

This Pa brewery is rocking my world. Close my eyes and taste this, and I drift back to my time when I lived in Waterloo, Brussels. Label says 9.5% abv, but it’s tucked in nicely. Woody notes on the palate, with cardamom, cloves and licorice. Heart-warming as it slips down the hatch. Well done! — 7 years ago

Wine estate : Taittinger
Designation : Champagne
Name : Comte de Champagne

Vivino : 5/5
Note : A Blanc de Blanc? This one is wonderful! A greed from the beginning to the end. A golden robe, a toasty nose, apricot and citrus, a roundness in the mouth with a superb balance of aromas.

Un Blanc de Blanc ? Celui là est merveilleux ! Une gourmandise du début à la fin. Une robe dorée, un nez toasté, abricot et agrumes, une rondeur en bouche avec une équilibre des arômes superbe.

Wax on with zesty lime and green apples, and wax off with a long bitter honeysuckle finish. Pairs well with nutty tomme cheeses, but does well on its own as a Sunday afternoon snack. — 10 years ago

Fooook meee! Do love #Tondonia Viña Gravonia 05' blanco #crianza it's the nuts, it smells of nuts and stewed apples and almonds & has a liquid mineral core with waxy lemon, golden syrup, Mr. Tom bars (remember them?), also smells of honey, acacia, toffee popcorn & lemon oil. Has a wonderfully fat palate with a chewy nuttiness along with rich lemon rind, peach & apricots (specially the skins), juicy, long and complex finish. Works great with fish (tonight with smoked haddock in a cheddar & chive sauce, butter braised samphire, edamame & butter bean salad with giant couscous n feta) — 11 years ago

Slight hint of reduction that faded with 30 mins. Darker fruit profile than expected, considering the light color and low alcohol. 12.5%. well crafted, well balanced. Great value — 9 years ago

Light golden color. Granny Smith apple dominant on the nose with hints of tropical fruit and moderate new oak. Mid-weight on the palate with bright acidity and pleasant flintiness. 14.5% alcohol. Mostly barrel fermented with the remaining 8% fermented in concrete then aged 12 months in 42% new French oak. $80. — 9 years ago
