It’s Friday and that always and forever calls for Champagne.

This is an amazing Blanc de Blanc Champange for $24.99. What a QPR! It’s like stealing.

Previous notes apply.

Happy Friday & weekend!!!

Photos, we are kicking in those chairs, full yard candlelight with the Baron and watching the World Series. It’s a good Friday and not in the complete religious sense but, close. Cheers!🥂 — 6 years ago

Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

a classic Bordeaux style blend, previous older vintages they omitted Petit Verdot. Pouring a glass I noticed a deep purple wine with ruby edges and aromas of red and dark fruit with cedar spice notes. The palate showed ripe blackberries, blueberries and sweet red berry fruit, with sweet and savory oak notes. Very approachable for a 2013, but it needs 30 minutes to open up. On the finish tannins were smooth and firm, showing some minerality on the long finish. Faust wines do not disappoint, even when young. — 10 years ago

Solid as always. Seemed a little more open then previous vintages. No reduction. Had the nose, medium weight and cut you’d expect. I think an above average vintage for this wine, although always reliable. — 8 years ago

Ripeness seems more in check than previous vintages. Beautiful texture and length. — 12 years ago

Long day cleaning & painting getting our rental property getting it ready for our new tenant. We are burnt but, a glass of Ruinart Rosé always perks us up.

We’ll be doing this a lot over the next two weeks. Hope everyone has better weekend plans than we do! Cheers!🥂

2016 vintage, excellent consistency with previous years, bright tartness with a sweet and tangy nectarine finish, do not overchill this lovely fruity white — 9 years ago
