Thank you to Beverly and Arvind Sodhani for a truly remarkable evening. I shipped a Magnum of Krug Rose for us to enjoy prior to dinner. The Batard Montrachet came from Arvind & Beverly’s personal cellar. It was perfect. I adore this Batard! 😍😘😘😍🙌. This was a glorious prelude to a long evening of wine indulgence. It was definitely a Marathon and not a sprint! Thank God I’ve been training all year for this evening 🤪😂😂🤪.
Thank you so much for a phenomenal evening under the stars! 🌟 💫 🌟 There’s nothing better than dinning outside in Napa during this time of year — 7 years ago

The complex aroma is just a prelude to a high-toned mix of prunes, smoke, and minerality. — 7 years ago

What a great prelude to the Greenock. A precursor wine showing the quality of fruit that the Kalleske clan has at their disposal to play with. — 8 years ago

Very good Malbec Cabernet blend. Full bodied with a burst of berry instantly. Balanced with some acidity. Plumb and blackberry with a vanilla touch. Great wine to enjoy by itself with company. A prelude to a bone in ribeye home grilled dinner. Life is good! — 8 years ago

The 2017 Chablis is absolutely gorgeous. The bouquet alone is so inviting, but that is just a prelude, as the 2017 has so much to offer. Orange peel, lemon confit and floral overtones abound, but it is the wine silkiness and grace that impress most. The 2017 is quite simply a wine of total finesse.

Great example of letting the varietals marry and partner with the oak to create a wonderful experience in your mouth! The glass stopper is novel, and the wine is a perfect prelude to the premium beef that was consumed afterwards. This wine is still a little young. — 6 years ago

Low alcohol content and decent tannins make this wine easy drinking. And not bad for a prelude to something more serious down the road. — 8 years ago

Nose and palate like a New World Chardonnay. Some funky leesy notes and some sulphidic Struck match. Trace of pineapple juice on palate. Lightly oaked with muted acid. Good Wine but the Verget is $59 and the Leeuwin Estate Prelude from Margaret River at about half this price is a better wine. Tasted 123 weeks later on 12th December 2020 with consistent notes. Certainly new world in style except lightly Oaked with that Pineapple juice still there. Interestingly I was rereading a tasting note on Leflaive Macon. Pineapple juice flavours must be a characteristic of the region. — 7 years ago

2013 on Nov 3, 2017. Love this wine. Nice berry nose and totally luscious mouth feel. Silly tannins are just right and prelude the long tasty finish. — 8 years ago

The scents of dried figs and raisins prelude a diverse pallet of currants, prunes, dried fruits, spices, and perhaps a hint of limestone and olives. Good balance between body and tannins with an overall moderate intensity. Was a fine pair to pizza. — 8 years ago
