Awesome — even after a day open — and with some basil, squash and quinoa salad. — 10 years ago
I saw the dessert island mentions; this wine is not quite that. However, very complex and interesting, white pepper and heavy minerality and surprisingly tannic for a 12% ABV. — 11 years ago
Phelps Creek 2013 Sauvignon Blanc is oh so yummy. I call it the Sassy Back Talker! — 11 years ago
Very well made. This strikes me as quite alsatian, with both weight and cut. It's acid is on the softer side. Interesting, but on this occasion I had been hoping for something with more cut. — 7 years ago
solid bottle, fun to drink. cloudy yellow and some light sediment, very much looks smells and tastes like a natural wine. — 7 years ago

Tonight I had a taste for Champagne and I have opened the Moët & Chandon Imperial Brut. A blend of mainly Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier and 10% to 20% Chardonnay.
On the nose there is musty pear, strawberry, bruised apple, lemon, toast and yeasty bread
On the palate there is creamy lemon curd, citrus notes, lemon, brioche, toast and limestone.
This wine is medium bodied with a creamy mouth feel. There is an abundant creamy mousse with medium + acidity that leads to a medium to long fresh finish. A nice ending to a long day doing chores around the house. Continue being safe and have a great rest of your weekend. Nostrovia! 🍾🍾🍾🍾 — 6 years ago
