Tongue In Groove

Domaine François Raveneau

Chablis Chardonnay 2007

2007 was the first vintage of AOC Chablis. That's what you learn while in good company. Who the hells wants tasting notes!? My tongue is different than yours anyway. I prefer knowledge based on region, production, aging, varietals, etc. — 11 years ago

Bonny Doon Vineyard

Vin Gris De Cigare Grenache Rosé Blend 2014

great full-bodied rose...chalky pink in color...wet cigar-wrapper nose...pops on the tongue immediately with tons of acid, but mellows out into a long complex raisin finish. — 11 years ago

Lava Cap

Battonage Chardonnay 2012

Delucate aroma of apples and pears. The slightly buttery oak hits about 3 seconds after it's on your tongue. Delicate in the finish that lingers with apples. — 12 years ago

Mischievous Old Vine Lodi Zinfandel 2011

Belle Glos

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2014

Oh dear lord, can we talk about the slate and the smoke that this beauty brings? There's a pleasant little mineral "pop" on the tongue- something I adore in a pinot noir- but it immediately melts into a smooth, clean finish. — 11 years ago

Carmel Road

Monterey County Pinot Noir 2013

Excellent Pinot Noir, very fruity on the tongue and with a reasonable amount of earth in the nose. Drank well with a big salad. Maureen says "really light, good but it didn't stand out. Very pleasant." — 11 years ago

A good amount of white grapefruit citrus and melon fruit on the nose with a whiff of fresh bailed hay. This wine is made at cardinal winery and is made by Laura Diaz Chris carpenters assistant. With fruit from napa just west of the town of napa and from a vineyard in pope valley. This wine is bright and focused with citrus and papaya green apple, tropical fruit a light briny mineral note through the finish. Juicy fruit and tongue tingly acidity. Finish 40+ most excellent — 12 years ago

Line Shack Winery

San Antonio Valley Petite Sirah 2013

First of all, the bouquet is layered with muddled dark fruit. Second, the body is complex in all the right reasons. It's concentrated, intense, fresh, elegant and carries the sweetness of the fruit. Raspberries and blackberries on the tongue, with a beautiful dark purple color. Medium body, medium acidity and ripe tannins round out this seductive wine. — 11 years ago

Robert Mondavi Winery

Reserve Unfiltered Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Incredible bouquet of damp earth and rose petals. Ruby red with an orange rim. Velvet on the tongue. Still has impressive structure and life in it. Very Bordeaux like in its age. Blueberry, rose hips, tobacco. Complex and fantastic. — 11 years ago

Amazing. Brioche, butter and figs on the nose. Baked bread, rose blossoms and delicate citrus notes on the tongue- the wine is just so soft and silky. This sets a new bar in champagne for me. — 13 years ago
