First course, Cauliflower Puree, Torn Bread, Olive Oil Perfect! @PlateandBottle This is such a Burgundian steal. Thick & creamy to match the soup. Lots of time on lees. Lemon, honeysuckle, green apple, lime, grapefruit pith, butterscotch, butter but not buttery and smooth as velvety silk. This is their best since their 2010. I can’t say enough good things about what this producer achieves from this terroir. — 7 years ago

Outstanding! Never would have expected this as the pairing for the deconstructed French onion soup dish in the third course at Le Cinq — 8 years ago

Fresh, citrus and apple with a toasty brioche background, loving this Blanquette de Limoux at a reasonable price. Try spicy butternut squash soup with blue cheese bits. Superb. — 9 years ago

Mathieu has taken over winemaking and has done a fabulous job. This was all bright mid red fruits with some hues of blue and soft earthiness. Fresh & pure wire to to wire and a really nice pair with Hedy’s amazing spicy pumpkin soup. @ Plate & Bottle. Photos of, those old narly Gamay vines, Hedy’s spicy pumpkin soup, Mathieu barrel tasting and a little fireside bubbles & cheese before dinner. — 8 years ago

This is the type of wine u can pair with Hispanic flavors like a tortilla soup or hearty meats pork and steak... maybe soon we can try with fish and vegan foods... this wine excites me for all the right reason ... it is such flavor compliment in a bottle it makes everything u eat with it yummy AF — 8 years ago

Last drink before the work week starts.

A cocktail of whisky, umeshu, chamomile, and honey could probably come close to this. Interesting Chenin. Stank a little out of the bottle (kinda yeasty cheesy aroma) but as it warmed up, everything kinda lifted - aroma, texture, body. Didn't have the weight or concentration of the Chidaine from two days ago. Different beast really, like a rich meat broth vs creamy mushroom soup. — 8 years ago

I liked this much better than most whites I've tried; it's has more of a deep oaky taste than the kind of brightness I expect from white. Went with sweet and sour soup very well! — 8 years ago

Great story of the mad prince and possibly a better wine. Vibrant expression of semillon, definitely oxidated but enjoyable. Paired well with Italian chickpea and brown Carnaroli rice soup (using homemade beef broth) - heightened rosemary flavor and basically spread lemon curd flavor everywhere. 94 vintage — 9 years ago

Steely saline aromas meets bright Meyer lemon and grapefruit. Fresh and great with a simple French lentil and onion soup and an entire baguette for one. — 9 years ago

Baby, it’s cold outside. Falling near 70! The stouts are out! This sleek black beauty has it all! Thick, even lacing in two tone cafe shades, a cumulus attitude. Clean almond and cacao pod with a lemon pith aura. Bee pollen, waterfall rocks and northern oyster shell, including a light brine. Medium mouthfeel and soft minerality prevailas sips reduce the lace to alphabet soup fonts and ultimately horror forests. Unexpectedly clean, with coffee-cola notes and caramelized onion minus the burn. Crispy vanilla that turns creamy with agitation. Steely, smoky, pepper crackers, and bitter violets. #boulevardbrewing #darktruth #kcbeer #stout #dankdark — 7 years ago

Easy-drinking and enjoyable! Great inexpensive option for Sunday dinner on a crisp fall day. Not too rich or heavy, but stood up well against a hearty vegetable soup. — 8 years ago

Frankly: I am surprised at how dynamic and Mâcon this is at 6+ years! It was said and chirpy as only wines with dry extract can be. Delicious with roasted potato leek soup -especially in this odd season between an Indian Summer and that penetrating November rain. Great tension here. — 9 years ago
