Pietracupa

Greco di Tufo DOCG Greco Bianco 2016

Nice wine - definitely a step up in complexity from a “normal” white. I would recommend this wine to anyone looking to understand what an ocean-like salinity really tastes like as that sensation is quite intense here. Loads of acid but still balanced. — 7 years ago

Gran Reserva Rioja Alavesa Tempranillo 2004

Got all my fave Rioja notes but there was something green-stemmy there on the nose and palate that went one step past wet forest floor. Dunno if longer rest will help but I've got 3 more of these so we'll see. — 10 years ago

Always a great value, a definite step up in 2014. Great balance, and just plain drinkable. Rosé QPR champ. #kogodwinemerchant #letstaste10roses — 11 years ago

Côte de Jouan Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2011

This is a step down from Butteaux. Never heard of this vineyard. Lovely wine, holding strong after 7 years. Just less precise and more aged feeling. — 8 years ago

La Turque Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2000

(Catching up from 6/23 - JB’s Pig Roast) just a half-step behind the Allemand, but a great wine and generous pull (as always) by @Bill Bender. The Syrahs ruled the evening at JB’s House of Burgundy. — 8 years ago

RD Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Interesting wine- Pomelo and a slight tropical fruit. Round, medium palate of unripe green apple and minerals. Paired nicely with smoked paprika spiced ratatouille and polenta. Would not have guessed a Sauv Blanc when first opened. — 11 years ago

Egly-Ouriet

Les Vignes De Vrigny 1er Cru Brut Pinot Meunier Champagne

Perfect for a late dinner as you step of an flight to come home. Crisp edge on the finish and the distinct Pinot Meunier flavors give it a nice kick/grip. — 8 years ago

Maison Bertrand Ambroise

St. Romain Chardonnay 2011

This wine has an apple and lime interplay, with matchstick, pencil, lemon oil and hazelnut scents forever. Gas lamp, briny yellow olive, lemon pith, lemon seed, white clay, clean smoke. Such an easy, deft and focused wine. Puts some pep in your step. #Bourgogne #bourgogneblanc #frenchwine #whiteburgundy #whitewine #burglove — 9 years ago

Domaine Leflaive

Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 2010

A step ahead of 1er cru Puligny with even more neutrality and nuances. It's milder, more subtled, backed with light smoky characters. On the palate, it tastes so balanced, with a touch of oak/cream, minerality driven, balanced sweetness/acidity. The everlasting finish is focused, but evolving and lively. Well structured and elegant — 10 years ago
