I'm not a white wine kind of person but this premium white wine from St. Augustine's San Sebastián Winery is so light and refreshing, perfect on a hot summer evening by the pool — 10 years ago
Let it chill and it takes in a wonderful warmth, else very bitter. — 11 years ago

Is a 2008 Merlot Sebastian excellent with poultry dishes with a great body flavor very inexpensive to share with company ($18) bottle from sonoma county. Try with sharp cheese and fresh fruit. — 12 years ago
She's temperamental. And expressive. It ain't no a Billy Joel Song; it's a Soings en Sologne, sung by the son of a son of a viticulture (well maybe only the cousin). Very fucking cool wine. Unique for this region. Kind of Sebastian Riffault-like in his rule breaking to Sancerre, but perhaps more... tame. Oxidative for this vintage, maybe that's consistent? Tastes like there's some skin contact on the romorantin, a roller coaster of acidity and sapidity across the tongue, and Menu Pineau, I can find it if I look. If you don't like oxidative wine, you probably won't appreciate this. But I judge a wine whether it's empty or not, and this one didn't stand a chance. Tastes better when it's warmed up and breathed for an hour. vintage is technically 2012 -not on label. Wife (New Zealander) Heidi Kuka makes the eye-catchingly, ornate almost Maori-like tribal tattoos for the labels. Julien Courtois is able to knock it out of the park on occasion, but mostly, he makes very good, expressive and interesting, but most importantly drinkable wine from the western Loire. — 9 years ago
Fantastic biodynamic Chenin Blanc from Saumur. Another great recommendation from Sebastian at Alpine Lounge. Great acidity, well balanced oak. Rich and mouthwatering. — 11 years ago
