Boundary Breaks Vineyard
Bubbly No. 356 Dry Riesling 2019
Incredibly consistent, 2018 notes fully apply. We love this wine, so fresh, so fun, so inexpensive via the Wine Club.
Nose has warmed green apple, lemon-lime seltzer, stainless steel and dry sandstone.
Palate has dried apple chips, frozen peach, tart green apple flesh with light sweetness and a dry finish.
Manually carbonated via soapstone bubbler in a pressure tank. — 4 years ago
Domaine Huet
Le Haut-Lieu Demi-Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 1985
The difference 40 years makes is maybe just a thin wooly blanket.
Pull it back and this thing's full of life - bright, vibrant, gas in the tank.
It’s brighter yellow than tired gold. Theres more fruit than decay. Sour apricots and yellow canned peaches, white popcorn and greasy bacon, and that foggy musk.
Acid rips through and does not give. Barely sweet with the demi-sec tag thats written right there but I'm not buying it.
Tonight this is 40 years old, just gettin' goin, just like me. — 4 months ago
