Louis Jadot

Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay 1983

Out of the loop, crazy, once-in-a-lifetime village wine. Bought a case for £140 at auction, not knowing Broadbent rated it ***** "Knock-out drops". A healthy golden hue - dense, with little water at the rim; lots of dandelions, salty bread dough (without yeast), hints of sweet pears and apples; incredibly buttery and incredibly long (50+ seconds). A faint hint of volatile acidity creeping in towards the end but still one of the most powerful, evocative, and expressive white wines I have ever tasted!! — 10 years ago

O'dwyers Creek

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2012

I love this stuff! Burnt butter popcorn and lime peel kick this to a whole new level, a bit too froot loop cereal flavored and a tiny bit too much alcohol, but very solid and delicious wine. — 11 years ago

Let's see if we throw Delectable for a loop. Sous voile for days. Or nights rather. 1001 to be exact. — 12 years ago

Such an insane wine. Really threw me for a loop. Eucalyptus, cured meat, mint, and (believe it or not) nutter butter. Paint, burning marshmallow on the nose. Made me stop in my tracks — 9 years ago

Keplinger

Sumō Petite Sirah Blend 2012

This one threw me for a loop. Olives on the nose and plum fruit on the palate. Very heavy mouthfeel, fat and smooth on night one - almost no tannins came through. Monochromatic; without the acid it was hard to have more than a glass. Night two much more tannic and coarse. Not sure what to make of it. — 9 years ago

Maysara Winery

Arsheen Momtazi Vineyard Pinot Gris 2014

Theres a canned green vegetable note to this that threw me for a loop. More body and flavor than most PG from Oregon. A kiss of RS on the finish. My favorite — 9 years ago

Bouchard Père et Fils

Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay

Concentrated and powerful. Great acidity, and a bitterness akin to citrus peel or certain hops. I detect oak in both nose and palate, but Chardonnay always throws me for a loop with regards to oak. Really glad I got to taste 2 of Burgundy's most prized sub-appellations tonight! — 9 years ago

Really cool character. A very fun but complex wine, threw me for a loop but has some fun cotton candy, flowers, almost Riesling-like, but not. — 9 years ago
