Star Meadows White Blend 2016

This is a medium bodied white blend, with solid round tannic structure and a splash of residual sugar. Salient flavors are apricot, lemon and grapefruit with a little acidic bite at the finish. It is a good wine for Mexican food pairing. — 8 years ago

Loring Wine Company

Clos Pepe Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

In the context of its value, this is a blockbuster Pinot Noir and quintessential of what Brian Loring does. I'm in agreement with Josh Raynolds take of "...red fruit preserves, incense, minerals and wisteria. Stains the palate with intense raspberry liqueur and floral pastille flavors..." That said, Allen Meadows does well in pointing out the "...lower register aromas of plum, dark berries and earth nuances." I will add that this has "pop" or "verve" or "tension" that puts all these flavors on blast. — 8 years ago

Baden Spätburgunder Rosé 2017

I know Lyle Fass the importer will roast me at the stake for popping this so soon. A little darker than in the past. Classic E&M - the consistency from year to year is just ridiculous. Mountain meadows with thyme and gentian on the nose. In the glass elderberry , orange 🍊 zest, hint of tart underripe strawberry - lovely acidity. Needs to settle down. This is once again!!! the best Rose money can buy right now. How this winery does this beats me. Unfortunately not widely available if at all outside of the FASS email list. — 6 years ago

He's gonna cut you off for popping all these E&M's fresh outta their shippers. I think all mine land at my storage facility in the next week or so...

@Ira Schwartz red fruit was generous with a hint of leather, but really needed a big glass and a lot of time to get going, not peak yet IMO. I generally like how '04's are doing now, and this was a very nice bottle last night. I think overpriced though. No green notes to speak of.

@Severn Goodwin appreciate the insights . Funny I had my friend buy it after another friend told me no green to speak of. I think he paid about $180. Imo that was “reasonable” .
After he generously shared a bottle with with me I felt good about my suggesting he purchase.

You are a lucky one to taste this, I think $180 is reasonable as well, just for this experience, I thought the Volnay & Gevrey ('08's) paired on either side of this bottle at our dinner were more generous in the voluptuous fruit category, and both were lower cost. I've also had several of the Hudelot-Noëllat '04's in the past, I'd recommend those as well.

Domaine Francois Lamarche

La Grande Rue Grand Cru Monopole Pinot Noir 2014

The final Wine for the day No. 6 from Vosne Romanee blew me away and I gave it 99 points as did J H. I was convinced it was one of the DRCs. Being La Grande Rue it is over the narrow dirt road (Rue) from Romanee Conti and is a Monopole. My blind tasting notes - “Glorious restrained nose showing some whole bunch complexity. Beautiful Balanced Seamless. Fine and long. Unbelievable. Must be RC or La Tache “ A fair mistake given that La Grande Rue lies between Romanee Conti and La Tache. Interesting that Allen Meadows describes La Grande Rue if he only had 2 descriptors as Refinement and Generosity. Could not agree more.!
In summary another amazing tasting. Next years covering the 2015 vintage will be mind boggling!!! Cannot wait!

Les Beaumonts Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2010

Medium to rich crimson in colour. Aromas of Roses earth and cherries. On the palate savoury with very good intensity and length. Light to medium weight. A deserving Premier Cru from the great commune of Vosne Romanee. With time in decanter a touch of mushroom on the nose with lovely red fruit/sappiness on palate. Allen Meadows says the reference standard in Les Beaux Monts is Leroy but like all Cuvées from Leroy at eye watering prices. — 6 years ago

Carso Sauvignon 2013

Lemon essence, thyme and stone-filled grassy meadows greet the nose. That bright lemon vibe remains on the palate followed by salty minerality on the lengthy finish. It's almost as if the wine was made from a parcel carved out of Sancerre and then placed high in the Alps. — 8 years ago

Alsace Chasselas

2014 Chasselas. Exudes it's Alpine origins with aromas of grassy meadows, tiny white flowers, and raw hazelnut. A sip is dense and bracing and filled with just ripe stone fruit. Begs to be paired with a traditional Raclette feast. — 9 years ago
