The Racing Runaway

Domaine Guillot-Broux

Beaumont Mâcon-Cruzille Gamay 2014

Blueberries, cherry liqueur, wet rocks, iron, thyme, anise. Racing acidity, minimal velvet tannins, medium bodied, juicy-slight silk like texture, finished earthy-tart fruits. A lot darker than Beaujolais gamay, mineral forward in a heavier way. — 8 years ago

Cuvée No. 737 Extra Brut Champagne Blend

Unlike any other champagne I've had to date, this is an orange dreamsicle. Riper phenolics, fuller body, and less than racing but still plenty of acid. — 10 years ago

Domaine des Huards (Michel Gendrier)

Cour-Cheverny Romorantin 2010

Racing acid backed by waxy lemon, minerals, wool, slight petrol funk, long tart finish. A very unique geeky food wine. Paired great with a Greek salad and tilapia with lemon, pepper, oregano. — 10 years ago

Signargues Côtes du Rhône Villages Syrah Grenache 2011

Very nice. 91 point $15 WS
An elegant style, with silky texture and pure, unadorned bitter plum, blood orange and singed alder notes all racing along through the rooibos tea-tinged finish, revealing a buried mineral accent.

Very nice wine. Easy to drink but not in a "cheap dessert wine" way but in a very satisfying way.

Great on so many levels. Perfectly balanced between Semillon's richness yet the acidity was racing. Each sip saw the wine unfold and reveal more of itself. — 13 years ago

Famille Bougrier (Domaines Bougrier)

Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2014

I found this remarkable Chenin bursting with pears, apricots, lychee, and others with a fuller body too. It was sweet without being sugary. This is one of those bottles that sends your mind racing with the possibilities in the kitchen. — 10 years ago

Domaine Etienne et Sébastien Riffault

Saulétas Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2010

The most unique of its kind. It's so Loire it's not Loire. One of the only natural winemakers in the area swims against the current by not picking early or implementing chaptilization. It's commonplace to use this strategy to avoid botrytis, but this dude is living and letting be. Rich and exotic with mineral spine as opposed to racing acid and lime zest. Serious learning experience. — 10 years ago

Domaine Bechtold

Engelberg Alsace Grand Cru Riesling 2011

Smoke show Riesling! Racing acidity, petrol and honeysuckle and all that one the nose but bone dry with a lot of minerality. Super refined and clean as fuck. Very pretty not showy Riesling. Outstanding with food. High abv. - 13.5! Watch out, bc this stuff is poundable and doesn't drink like it has any punch but she'll get ya. — 11 years ago

9.0

First wine I've ever tried of this grape. Similar to a Sauvignon Blanc, with racing acidity and notes of grapefruit and gooseberry. Interestingly, there's blueberry coulis on the nose and palate. Very pale straw in color, light to medium bodied, 11% ABV. — 10 years ago

Hawk and Horse Vineyards

Red Hills Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Very dark, deep ruby - almost black; if it were green, it would be English racing green. The luscious nose demands attention. It's one of those wines I could just smell and never get around to tasting. Minerals, earth and blackberries are in the forefront, graphite comes on after it opens. The palate is elegant, but there is plenty of tannic structure. I want a rib eye with it. The lovely cassis flavor hits the minerality just right. — 10 years ago
