Momento Mori

Fist Full Of Flowers Red Blend

One of my favorite #orange wines. Hazy, cidery, juicy, totally funky skin contact vibes. Doesn’t suffer from being overly dry like some organes. Stock up for summer as it doesn’t suffer in flavour when it warms slightly on a hot afternoon. — 6 years ago

Naranjo Valle del Maule Moscatel Blend

Skin contact, a bit of thrills gum, orange colour. Good but not super memorable. — 7 years ago

Marc Deschamps

Les Champs de Cri Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Sensational and a great value for money. Deep notes of orange marmalade and preserved lemon with some elements of stone fruit go along with a deep sea mineral spine and a dark savory herb note. Hints of brioche and maybe chalk as well. Full flavored and viscous. A long finish. Great — 8 years ago

Domaine Henry Pellé

Menetou-Salon Morogues Pinot Noir Rosé 2020

Nose has crushed strawberry, Clementine orange slice, yellow raspberry, red raspberry, green table grapes and moist chalk.

Palate has cherry, (light) raspberry, Clementine orange zest, partially dried strawberry, green melon, (light) steely notes and faint salinity. Nice wine, good finish, think this will settle into a greater spot in a couple years.

Quite a fruit forward profile on the nose, this is presently drinking better than the '19, likely closer to the '18 for immediate enjoyment. We generally hold at least a case on most vintages, for consumption 2-3Y past current vintage. The strategy hasn't failed us yet on satisfaction for this bottling.

Rosemount Estate

Mountain Blue Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon

‘96 bought through an auction. Always a gamble, but this was well stored. We used to buy this in our early poor days— 3 kids and one nominal salary. Nostalgic purchase that has held up remarkably well. Delicious! — 7 years ago

July 4th Friday was a total blowout! Killer bottles one after another. Here are just a few of the bottles we all enjoyed!

Great nightcap. You’re not going to mistaken this for Sauternes, but it’s wonderful in its own way. Dark amber colored in the glass smelling of waxy honeycomb, roasted orange blossom compote dripping over fig. Totally flavor packed.
