Louis Jadot

Domaine Gagey "Le Chapitre" Bourgogne Pinot Noir

Just opening and decanting now, sticking with Burgundy again tonight. As it happens we had another Jadot (Dom. Gagey) bottle in the cellar, thought the Ladoix blanc was the only one previously.

Nose of bright spring cherry, supermarket not farmers market, tinge of alcohol.
Palate is gravel-cherry, sweet, this started quite tannic but mellowed a bit in the decanter. Drinking quite nice for an everyday Pinot, not overly complicated, but enjoyable. I'd say this bottle could hold easily for 6 years past vintage.

A good pairing with burgers hot off the grill tonight. Burgers are an interesting meal at our house, cats seem to like the aroma, so if you're not watching, paws will be sneaking up on your plate from an adjacent chair. 😺😼😺😼

24hr Update: Acidity had mellowed, I enjoyed the wine a little more after 3-4 hours of air than today, but was a great pairing with grilled pork chops tonight.

Dog Point Vineyard

Section 94 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2012

Yes, this is typical NZ Sauvignon on the nose, pungent, green nettles, tinned asparagus and peas and cats pee, but with a few years bottle age, this is fresh and bright with some depth on the palate. Great example. — 9 years ago

Cuvée Les Caillottes Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Really nice Sancerre. A little tart (in a good way) at the front end, but smoother finish than new world SB's. No "cats pee" (yay!). Went really well with the grilled shrimp appy's. — 10 years ago

Pian delle Querci

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2007

I'm a softy for this winemaker. They are beloved by the cats who run Enotecca Piti Gola in Florence, where they sell old vintages of it by the glass. Every year they send some to me in the States. For me, when I drink it, I'm drinking good memories and it brings me back to a lost time. — 10 years ago
