Châteauneuf-du-Pape White Rhône Blend 2023

Wowza this is good. 80% Roussanne, and it shows. I love that grape. Such richness, and though the acidity is low, there’s great mineral tension here. So rich and enveloping. — 9 months ago

Love CdP blanc, but rarely buy it any longer. Sounds wonderful!!

Les Corbeaux Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2018

Fine and attractive, has a lovely approachability in its supple fruit, pliant tannin, and ripe texture. Despite the vintage character, there’s nice balance here with good freshness and aromatics. Black cherry, slightly roasted, plum, spicecake, sweet meat, sous bois, wilted flowers, balsam, rosemary and licorice. Minimal racking, probably a fine call for ‘18 — a year ago

Les Cailloux Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2019

Blend of 70% Grenache, 17% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah & 3% Cinsault, deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits, oak and floral spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with hints of oak, herb spice and floral notes. Wine was complex and elegant with smooth tannins, long fruit and spicy finish. Very Nice! — 4 years ago

Neil. That is a new descriptor for me as in Tennis Balls. I guess the aroma when you pop a fresh can?

@Bob McDonald - it’s more petrol, synthetic rubber- ever since I heard someone say “a can of new tennis balls” that’s what I smell... definitely in the good sense.

A great Alsatian house. You have to be in the mood for that sliver of lands style of Riesling for sure! So good.

Albrecht Tradition Réserve Rosé Crémant d'Alsace Pinot Noir

This is always a favorite in the sparkling category. Tonight I am getting something more in both taste and smell, though. Along with the usual strawberry, I am getting a fair amount of goat cheese. Sounds unlikely, but it makes me swoon. A tasty appetizer to prime me for a Friday night of actively relaxing. — 8 years ago

Cuvée Balthazar Alsace Pinot Blanc 2022

Pale lemon in color.

Aromatic nose of pears, apples, citrus, minerals, light honey and herbs.

Medium plus in body and refreshing, with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with apples, citrus, light apricots, spices, earth, light vegetables and sea salt.

This is a very tasty Pinot Blanc from Alsace. Nicely balanced and easy drinking right out of the bottle. Elegant and fruit forward.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. I paired it with a grilled red snapper.

13% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$18.

Les Pruliers Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Nez et bouche épicé, très beau fruit aussi, bel équilibre en bouche, délicieux, des tannins encore bien présents avec une longue finale fort agréable mais ayant une touche asséchante. Très fidèle à l’appellation. 92-93

Blind tasting lunch 2009 theme. Nose and palate with gorgeous spices, nice balance, delicious and pure flavors with grippy tannins in this long but slightly rustic finish, very terroir like.
