Rotschiefer Riesling 2015

Pale straw. Initial diesel on the nose, with floral grapefruit and green apple. Wonderful crisp green apple flavors with great acidity to balance what must be some residual sugar. Not complex but a delicious aperitif or spicy food wine. — 8 years ago

Eclats Brut Damery Champagne Blend

I like to thank @Severn Goodwin for his kindness & generosity for sending this beautiful bottle of Champagne.

We shared this with friends and paired this with apple walnut vinaigrette salad last night. Complimented the salad nicely. It was a nice yin and yang balanced tug of war of food & wine.

The body is beautiful in the mouth with nice acidity. Bruised apple & pear, some apple cider, pineapple juice, lime zest & candy, white peach, easy, soft chalkiness, soft, fine, grey volcanic minerals, sea spray, brioche with spring flowers and yellow lilies. Finishes softly, elegant, nicely balanced and persists nicely.

Ehlers Estate

St. Helena Cabernet Franc 2014

Good friends who know you, always know what to bring over! The Cabernet Franc from Ehlers is always a great accompaniment for really good lamb or steak. Tonight it was lamb with shaved black truffles from legendary Florida chef Norman Van Aken’s 1921 restaurant. It all came together beautifully!
Friends, atmosphere, service, food and wine!

Scharzhofberger Pergentsknopp Riesling 2001

Caramel and butterscotch upon opening. Residual sugar makes this slightly flabby. Lacking freshness, Riesling typicity and vineyard characteristics at the moment.
After a few hours the wine is finding its balance. Even more so on the next day, it's becoming less heavyhanded. Peach, apricot, some citrus appear. So, much better on day 2... Strange huh?
