Oddball Saperavi 2013

Second time around in just as many nights. Allowing nearly 10 hours to open up brings oyr a beautiful sweet raspberry coulis like palate which I'm seriously enjoying. Tannins have settled too. — 9 years ago

It's better than a hot pot of coffee to the eyes! Stunning Aromatics; every tree-fruit I can conjure is found on the nose alone. Serve only slightly cooler than room temperature. -Vintage 2013 — 11 years ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1996

Spectacular nose. Honeysuckle, soft, expansive, honeyed, broad white-flower fruit. Real depth and character to the nose. Gentle roses? On the palate a gorgeously complex and expansive wine with saline notes, some rock pool and very lush citrus stuff. This is just fantastic right now. So complete, integrated and delicious. Mature but still lots of life and vibrancy. A great bottle. Apparently this was Bernard Raveneau’s desert island wine. You can really see why. — 8 years ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Blanchot Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2002

This is special. A gorgeous settled nose with real poise and precision. Some rock pool then light secondary notes and honeysuckle, hints of orange blossom and peach. On the palate, concentrated but very settled with a chalky minerality and a loong finish. Gorgeous stuff. — 8 years ago

2002 - this is a perfect example of why Raveneau is so special. Takes about 10 plus years for them to become this expansive on the palate but at the same time so precise and focused on the finish. Outstanding!

Domaine François Raveneau

Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1997

Hard to express how good this was. Somehow this bottle managed to retain all of what was likely great about it on release (acid balance, snappy minerality) and just ADD complexity and length. Stunning. Very long finish which tempered mushrooms and choose your own umami with a painful tidal pool and steely finish. The Eddy w/ C&C — 9 years ago

Chateau Ste. Michelle & Dr. Loosen

Eroica Columbia Valley Riesling 2013

Right on the money with this Riesling! Straw in color and star bright. Nose was filled with lemon-lime, honeydew, Granny Smith apples, wild honey, citrus blossom, ginger, and new plastic pool toy aromas. The palate was extremely well balanced and the acidity was high and puckering. The tart lemon and lime flavors held through the finish. The finish was surprisingly long, and it was a nice medium-minus body. This Riesling provides a solid compliment to spicy sushi and spicy foods. It holds up strong and has a lot of backbone. All in all, this is your Riesling if you are looking for a refreshing, acidic, dry breath of fresh air. Instant favorite of mine! Washington dry Rieslings are spectacular. Cheers! — 9 years ago

Ampeleia

Kepos Grenache Blend

Reminiscent of Beaujolais' Gamay, this southern part of Tuscany's Ampeleia is producing some fine red wine! Mine tonight, after 30 minutes swim and spin in the decanter's pool of naked open space and air shows first to the nose wet rocks, slate and sandstone freshly accenting menthol and anise then strictly earthen dirt and minerals and a hint of the berries. First kiss is lightly but intriguingly nasty, wet and dripping red fruit which immediately coats and clings but most interestingly reaches back for the wet rocks overlooking the Med, then re-engages just in time to leave hints of her red and blue berry essence complimenting the blackened octopus in a mash of white beans and spices laced with a hint of Tabasco offered up by Chapel Hill's Il Palio located off Franklin Street (checkout both) Ciao🕶 — 10 years ago
