Vice Versa

Vice Versa Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

I love me some Vice Versa. The only thing better than the wine might be the people! Samantha and Patrice are amazing people, and Maayan and team Atelier Melka need no introductions. I am so happy to watch them succeed. Having purchased an estate property last year, we can’t wait to visit them in the future. Ok, back to the wine. While “im”patiently awaiting my single vineyard designates to age I am enjoying two of their lines, Le Petit Vice and the Napa Valley blend. While I prefer the 15s and 16s to the 17, the Napa Valley blend never fails to impress. More tasting notes next time. — 5 years ago

Vieilles Vignes Nuits St Georges Pinot Noir 2009

We had the 2009 Vintage on 9/7-8/18. The strawberry fruit is subtle. There was cardomom, mushroom and a nice spice. Truly Burgundian. Medium bodied. No tannin; smooth and ready to drink. — 7 years ago

Vosne-Romanée Village Pinot Noir 2013

Conmemorando el día del Sommelier abrimos esta botella de Vosne-Romanée 2013. Quizá la región más reconocida de la Cote de Nuits y a la que se atribuyen los mejores Pinot noir de todo el mundo. Rojo ruby con borde ligeramente anaranjado, cuerpo ligero con ataque muy elegante, uno de los más elegantes que haya probado. Nariz a cereza, fresa e incluso mamey, sumamente láctico con notas de sotobosque y musgo. La madera quedaba al final, con un tostado magnífico. En boca fue ligero, de tanino aterciopelado y persistencia muy larga. Sedoso y elegante. — 6 years ago

Intuition Coteaux du Vendômois Pineau d'Aunis 2015

Nose has white pepper, spruce needles, cedar shavings, fresh cherry and mashed black currant.

Palate has pepper dusted mashed cherry, tart blueberry, black cherry, (light) limestone dust and (light) new oak. Medium levels of acidity/tannin help this wine to be very soft and enjoyable.

100% Pineau d’Aunis from 125 year old vines; maceration in barrels and amphoras, then barrel aged for one year.

Les Grandes Vignes Nuits-St.-Georges Pinot Noir 2007

From split opened half hour before consumption. Earth, red fruit, and a hint of funk. Smooth tannins; searing acidity. Probably could use another five years to achieve better balance. — 9 years ago

Pierre à Feu Coteaux du Vendômois Chenin Blanc 2017

Dominant green apple flavor, almost cidery, but there’s good depth of flavor, including melon and citrus. Also honeysuckle and a hint of spice, all supported by a nice backbone of mouth watering acidity. — 6 years ago

Big Bunch Theory Gamay Poulsard

Love it. Still a little co2 on day 2. A little funky and super light. 90 gamay from Loire 10 poulsard. Beguet is becoming a new fav producer. Chambers wins again. Reminds me of ganevats many Vdfs but less than half the price. — 7 years ago

Les Hauts Prulliers Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012

Ripe, powerful, complex. Brilliant ruby-garnet. Haunting flavors, tremendous grip and persistence. Fruit-forward, black cherries and kirsch framed by limestone and earth and generously toasted oak. More defined flavors will emerge in a few years, but this is a complex and vibrant wine that will coat your palate aggressively with dense fruit. — 8 years ago

Les Lavières Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Nose: classic barnyard red fruits very distinctive to Burgundy. Palate: spice confirmed red fruits slightly underripe, such a bright acidity. Good balance. Had it paired with herb rubbed pork roast and broccoli & cauliflower, Herb stuffing and cheddar mashed potatoes. Heaven — 9 years ago

Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Grapefuit, buttery, nice with a watercress soup I had at the French restaurant where I found it. Could be a little brighter but all in all not bad. — 10 years ago
