Vignoble de Sainte-Pétronille
Réserve du bout de l'île White Blend 2012
Kirsch nose with a whisper of putrescence- big acidity into tarty stone fruit in the mouth. Neither Gabe or I have had the "Vandal Cliche" grape before. We dug it (Gabe saw possibilities) #VivaQuebec — 12 years ago

Keuka Spring Vineyards
Finger Lakes Gewürztraminer 2013
Wine to go with Thanksgiving dinner #1. This time we hosted dinner with the in-laws. Gewurz with Thanksgiving may be a cliche, but that doesn't make it any less excellent. On the wine: I bottled this in March knowing that it had a little cabbage-y type reduction and that it perceived as a little hot. I believed in this wine. I knew it would come around. I was right!! 8 months later the wine is beautiful, with intense floral notes overlaying deep tropical aromatics. The alcohol no longer sticks out as bitter but instead gives a sense of richness. A good lesson in patience, demonstrating that an awkward youth can lead to remarkable things down the line. — 12 years ago
Peter Michael Winery
Belle Côte Chardonnay 2012
Seems cliche to cap on the wine because it's so fashionable but it's damn good and popular for a reason. Exotic expression of Chard that doesn't veer too far from tradition. — 12 years ago

As a nice follow up to the lower priced poire authentique from Dr. Bordelet this was very much a stark difference. If the poire authentique was the blanc de blancs then this is the house style cuvee. This was rather balanced and restrained in comparison carrying a silky gold-coated attack...a touch of sun and tanned skin. Buttery, acidic, jolly ranchers...I would go as far as pulling heavily cliche words like elegant and classy. — 11 years ago
