Starter to Cam’s arrival in DC at Le Dip. Incredible texture to the bubbles. Fell too on the crisply on the apple side for my taste — 3 years ago

N: Strawberries and peaches with some dirt. Shows best when it’s been out for a bit.
P: Nice bright and lip smacking, it hints at cherries. Very herbal, perfect with a blt and white bean/garlic scape dip.
With extended time out, this fills out, develops a cantaloupe rind quality. — 4 years ago

This is a very enjoyable Grenache Blanc from Paso Robles. Showing citrus, green apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs, spices, light honey, peaches, melons and white pepper.

Very aromatic and pleasurable. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Easy drinking and a good porch wine. Tasty and interesting.

Needs to be very chilled.

I paired it with cheeses, salmon dip and crackers.

Decided to dip into the depths of the cellar and pick out something we’ve not had in a long time. Gary’s first vintage of the Estate pinot is 1998, but the 2003 is the one we had when we first met him in 2005. This wine is absolutely fantastic. Great fruit on the nose with hints of candied cranberries, the balance and depth of this wine is incredible. Easily one of the best California pinots I’ve ever had, this wine is the counter-argument to anyone who says a CA pinot can’t age well. Absolutely brilliant. — 7 years ago

On the nose, blackberry, violets, and grape Nerds... On the palate, this shows much more complexity... Again, I'm getting that grape Nerds or Fun Dip note... But with a rounded feel integrated with the alcohol and natural plum and cranberry... A short finish here... It's here, it's gone... On to the next sip... We're four years after the vintage and I feel this is one to drink up now as this integration feels fragile... — 4 years ago

95 vintage. Popped more than expected. Still has bub bub bubbles. With caviar scallops over latkes. Don’t drink a lot of heideieck but glad to find this bottle. Dark golden color. Nose has sea breeze, *cookie dough*, marzipan & fun dip. Palette: Carmel apple cider. peanut brittle. Whipped cream. Nice lemony acidity present. Finish isn’t exceptionally long, but certainly present (it’s sticky) with some lemon pith, and is, of course, pleasant. — 6 years ago

This is a very enjoyable white wine from Northern Italy. Showing citrus, limes, pears, herbs, rosemary, oil, spices, white pepper and light green apples.

Medium-bodied with medium plus acidity. Crisp and refreshing. Nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel.

Dry on the palate and easy drinking.

Much better when not too cold and
should be even better in a year or two.

Very enjoyable by itself or with food. I paired it with a salmon dip.

Stands up to salmon burgers, fresh whole crab and even seven-layer dip. Worth a try! — 2 years ago

Beach me up vibes all day baby. Smells like white peaches and clear skies and seashells. Zings on the tongue and you need that warming zing if like me you are gonna dip into the Pacific (soon I hope anyway I love the sea). The palate is chilled melon, gushing wet stone, and some sort of flower whose name I’ll never remember.
It’s terrible, I can name 7 synonyms for Tempranillo, but when it come to the rest of all botanica I can’t get it together.
Anyway. This finishes a with a hit of grapefruit flavor so from stone fruits to melon to citrus it runs the fruit gamut.
Gushing wet stone is the through-line. I don’t know if it has a dramatic arc but I don’t think it needs it. — 4 years ago

Wow! Outstanding tasting right now. Apricots, lime, brioche, seashells, ocean spray, reminds me of 2006 Dom for almost 1/3 of the price. Long lingering finish. Perfect with salmon roe and fish dip. — 6 years ago

This is my second dip into the 2005 Pipeau. The last was in 2017. It has mellowed so that finish is less dry. But the profile remains consistent: well-rounded fruit, including stewed plums and black cherry. Hints of leather and mint. — 6 years ago
