The 2021 Lions de Suduiraut Blanc Sec is rich, creamy, expressive and exquisite in its balance of textural richness and freshness. Orchard fruit, white flowers, mint, lemon oil and chamomile envelop the palate, while bright floral accents perk up the finish. $25.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2022) — 3 years ago

Pears and apples and lemons and vanilla and lions and tigers and bears, oh my. Dry and delicious. I highly recommend.

This wine is made down the way from my childhood home and for that reason I am semi-biased. They have a lovely little tasting room with a beautiful porch looking out onto some of the vines and a pond. They also have a wonderful summer concert series featuring a picnic on the lawn, wine, and well-paired music.

I don’t mean to sound like a walking, talking billboard — but I’m all about supporting small town businesses and these guys really deserve it. I honestly love what they’ve done and what they’ve been producing. (I also previously rated this but on site) — 7 years ago

BSR don’t come to the African bush without it. Just like American Express, don’t leave home without it. Missed it!

All my previous notes apply.

Photos of, the nearly 20 Lions we found on our afternoon game drive. Three Males (one of them featured with the big yawn) four Lionesses and 12 or 13 Cubs, the completion of seeing the “Big Five” experience with this Buffalo on our morning game drive and most of the Lion pride laying in the sand awaiting the evening hunt.

9.3 on the BSR and a perfect 10 on our game drives.

@Severn Goodwin This ones for you! 🤣 Cheers! — 6 years ago
