Pause Wine Company
Château Marquis de Terme
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2009
A stained cork from bottom to top gave me pause. Phew! All good. Dusty notes dominate early on with stewed plumbs and Aussie scrub (underbrush) not far behind. Let’s see where we are in an hour. Sixty minutes on firmly delivers with a weighty 65% Cab Sauv with, dare I say it, a slight nod to Napa. Chewy tannins with continuous dust rounds it all out. I like this wine. As to down the road…I think we’ve arrived au point. — 2 years ago
Taittinger
Comtes de Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 2005
Sayonara, 2021!! You brought periods of joy and excitement, apprehension and challenge, intense sorrow and grief; a panoply of emotions spanning the spectrum of the human experience…
So, we’re putting one foot in front of the other, crossing the threshold into 2022 with hearts full of gratitude and hope, while sipping delicious wine and savoring this quiet moment together.
We want to pause to say THANK YOU all for being a part of our wine journey and a constant source of inspiration, positivity, and learning for us. Cheers and Happy New Year! — 2 years ago
Tolpuddle Vineyard
Tasmania Chardonnay 2021
Broadening my horizons and so very glad I did. Echos of burgundy but all it’s own at the same time. A wine that makes you pause and think. — 3 months ago

Brut Rosé Grand Cru Champagne
Tidying up the house after the container with our belongings arrived; it took "only" 3 and half months😅😅.
A well deserved refreshing juice during a pause
It is going to be a looong week of sweet unpacking..a bit like a belated Xmas😁😁
BTW the juice was really good

Fleurie Gamay 2019
Notes are cumbersome, so no notes today but plus side, scores are honest and I should be a professional reviewer, LOL. (This wine was crazy, one of the best Gamay I've had...)
On the Lawn at Tanglewood this final afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor Michael Tilson Thomas is leading IVES (Psalm 90) and BEETHOVEN (Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Opus 125).
After a two-year pause, we arrive again to the day when Beethoven concludes on these hallowed grounds. The 9th by Beethoven is always bittersweet for us, as it marks the end of the official Symphony and Pops season for the BSO at their Summer home. It is a wonderful and singularly emotive piece moved with the full force of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus (110+) conveying the message of a divine spark of joy that makes all people one. The music and the day almost bring me to tears on an annual basis...

The Prisoner Wine Company
The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend 2017
This was good but not great, just a couple things that weren’t there. Great raspberry-cherry nose. Wonderful as it hits the pallet and a great finish. But, had a bit of an acid bite in the middle, just a bit, but enough that it gave me pause and then made me search for the finish, which was great. — 2 years ago
