Weekly Wednesday Wine Committee lunch...always such a treat to attend. This week, Dan hosted. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. All blind as usual.

These Carneros chards from Aubert always throw me for a loop. I pegged this as a west coast Chardonnay, but thought it was a Kistler. Very sharp mineral notes and acid...very different than Aubert’s other chards. I’ve not had the Hudson which is similar. This started off sweeter than expected and really transformed in the glass to show more floral/honeyed cashews that led me to west coast Chardonnay. — 7 years ago

We had their white, not the red as Delectable is identifying it.

When put in between 2 California chardonnays, I was thrown for a loop. Thought initially it could be an Australian Riesling, but as you can see, I was way off. The hidden sweetness to it was unique, and it had great acidity. — 8 years ago

Out of the loop, crazy, once-in-a-lifetime village wine. Bought a case for £140 at auction, not knowing Broadbent rated it ***** "Knock-out drops". A healthy golden hue - dense, with little water at the rim; lots of dandelions, salty bread dough (without yeast), hints of sweet pears and apples; incredibly buttery and incredibly long (50+ seconds). A faint hint of volatile acidity creeping in towards the end but still one of the most powerful, evocative, and expressive white wines I have ever tasted!! — 10 years ago

Such an insane wine. Really threw me for a loop. Eucalyptus, cured meat, mint, and (believe it or not) nutter butter. Paint, burning marshmallow on the nose. Made me stop in my tracks — 9 years ago

Concentrated and powerful. Great acidity, and a bitterness akin to citrus peel or certain hops. I detect oak in both nose and palate, but Chardonnay always throws me for a loop with regards to oak. Really glad I got to taste 2 of Burgundy's most prized sub-appellations tonight! — 9 years ago

This one threw me for a loop. Olives on the nose and plum fruit on the palate. Very heavy mouthfeel, fat and smooth on night one - almost no tannins came through. Monochromatic; without the acid it was hard to have more than a glass. Night two much more tannic and coarse. Not sure what to make of it. — 9 years ago

Wow, this wine really threw me for a loop. Amazing wine, reminded me of a new world northern Rhone with California influence. I really liked this wine, can't wait to try his newer stuff! — 10 years ago

Captured in the wild. Bottom shelf, no price tag, alone. 3 days ago...and this really threw me for a loop. Hands down best Bourgogne Blanc I’ve ever had. Malo, Battonage, oak, on a racy mineral ringing nerve of aligote?! Holding up like a fine 1er Cru white. What the hell?! I can’t believe I haven’t encountered this style anywhere. This is some brazen proof from Denis just how brilliant he is when it comes to making wine. Was really shining about 4 hours after opening, kept singing until it was finished about 20 hours later. Pina colada rich in minerals and acid. Hell yes. — 8 years ago

Finally found some wine. And killer rose at that. The blue bottle threw me for a loop but this was pale peach in the glass. And very fragrant. Bone dry but very nice strawberry flavors. Happy lunch sipper. But at 85 euros I got ripped. Welcome to St Bart's. — 8 years ago

Theres a canned green vegetable note to this that threw me for a loop. More body and flavor than most PG from Oregon. A kiss of RS on the finish. My favorite — 9 years ago

I love this stuff! Burnt butter popcorn and lime peel kick this to a whole new level, a bit too froot loop cereal flavored and a tiny bit too much alcohol, but very solid and delicious wine. — 11 years ago
