Brut nature pinot Meunier from 40 year old vines. Picked at optimum ripeness, but I wouldn't have minded a gram of Dosage. 2006 vintage. — 12 years ago

Absent thee from felicity a while,
And in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain
To tell my story.

Orleans Hill

California Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Delicious! Dry, but not bitter. Perfect amount of alcohol to fruit ratio. Delightfully absent the nameless tang of sulfites! Great find at Bellavino! — 14 years ago

Kronos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Very good wine, but far from my top 5 Kronos'. Great red currant aromatics, acid that is often absent in Napa wines. — 11 years ago

Les Chais du Vieux Bourg

B.B.1 Côtes du Jura 2011

Wine 6 of 6 on wine bar tour in 11e in Paris
Normally think of Jura whites as having too much of that "Jura" in it like "dirty gym clothes" as the docent of the wine tour expressed it. Absent here but still with a cool Jura character. Reevaluating my opinion on the Jura
Supposed to be LMB ok

You're that open-minded hipster girl that wears flannel, but can surprise you in heels and pearls when you get to know her. Don't smile at me like that, I'm only a mortal man. — 12 years ago

Serracapelli Barbaresco Nebbiolo

Very interesting nose, which I am pondering (lots of spice). Should have decanted a half hour ago, as I think there is lots of room for note development. That written, I was hungry, which also translates to thirsty:). What's good food absent good wine? In any case, it is all here, @ VA Bch 'a Terrapin (groovy spot with a north end locals flare; crazy good oysters and other farm-to- table excellence). Oh yeah, the wine - well, there 's a strong cherry explosion that drifts making for a silky, deep finish. Back to eating and drinking..:) — 12 years ago
