Wildcat Mountain Vineyard Chardonnay 2009

Frankly: I am surprised at how dynamic and Mâcon this is at 6+ years! It was said and chirpy as only wines with dry extract can be. Delicious with roasted potato leek soup -especially in this odd season between an Indian Summer and that penetrating November rain. Great tension here. — 9 years ago

Moutard Pere et Fils

Rosé de Cuvaison Brut Champagne

Pink grapefruit regnier cherry rose petal action reminiscent of a Barolo in an odd way. Both flavors revisit on the palate, with a lemon drop center that turns white strawberry and golden apple. — 10 years ago

Chauvigné Anjou Chenin Blanc 2012

Fleeting n the palate. Good finish. Could be in an odd place. More cerebral than pleasurable. — 11 years ago

Castello Vicchiomaggio

Ripa della Mandorle 1996

Seemed maybe a bit beyond its day... had a bit of an odd aroma. But still good and interesting! ... day 2: wow, much nicer. Changed my rating. Opening up recommended! — 10 years ago

Arboreus Umbria IGT Trebbiano

2009. Deep golden, almost brownish hue. Some odd aromas (black olive?) on opening, but was beautiful after a 2-3 hour decant. $62 from Astor Wines, New York. — 10 years ago
