Brut Oeil de Perdrix Crémant de Bourgogne Chardonnay

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening to enjoy Andris Nelsons conducting the BSO in their first complete performance of Wagner's "Das Rheingold" at this venue, very exciting! We enjoyed "Die Walküre" last summer, so even though they're playing out of sequence, we're blessed to hear it none the less.

Tonight we have a Crémant de Bourgogne from Savigny-les-Beaune. Apparently 'Oeil de perdrix' translates as 'eye of the partridge' because of the light rose color of the wine. I get that, but sounds like marketing magic to me. Citrus, raspberry and mineral palate, toast and yeast are well balanced, tasty.

Woo Hoo... First one to post this bottle in Delectable 😁

We enjoyed "Die Walküre" last summer, so even though they're playing out of sequence, we're blessed to hear it none the less.

Tonight we have a trendy German SB, a very light citrus aroma, racy palate that does not back down, maybe some red current in there? Blind I would be hard pressed to guess as SB. Nice wine to begin the evening.

Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1998

An elegant wine that shows its class in a tough vintage. Dried flowers, sweet rich cassis, blacktop. The real star tonight was the venue. About 35 minutes out from my old country farm and located in Kinston, NC is The Chef and the Farmer by Vivian Howard. An amazing farm to table with flair creation in the food graveyard of Eastern NC. Extraordinary apps and entrees, fresh modern but comfortable environs and friendliness from everyone....and I'm confident they have the best wine list for 250 miles. A true destination dining experience. Thank you @DAG for the recommendation and intro. — 9 years ago

Bring your "A" game, Bill. I think that Christanna is also stepping up. Game on... My cellar is mostly euro - France, Italy. I have some great convict wines, but I think they won't tuck in seamlessly on the 15th.

One of the best value wines I've come across. Power with elegance. Great acidity and fruit. It is great for seafood, heavy appetizers, sauced dishes or big steaks. When I bought it for my venue the deciding factor was the fact it made me smile. — 10 years ago

Terre di Monteforte

Amarone Della Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2012

It's so hard to get my head around Amarone with less than 10 years of bottle age, but the venue constrained my options. That said, this seems to be a more straightforward style of the revered Corvina blend. Nothing over-extracted, typical fruit notes of raisin, dried plum, maybe some cassis...in a warm brûlée with baked spice, graphite, and toasty oak and vanilla. The weight is moderate and the mouthfeel elegant. The only missing element versus the great cuvées is a bit of complexity/depth. Indeed, this is more like the best Valpolicella Ripassos I've had, with a touch more phenolic extraction. Call it a super-Valpo. — 8 years ago

Wonderfully complex Château neuf at an equally amazing venue in the Alsace region. Love the presentation they do at Auberge de L'Ill! Currant and of course the licorice root. This 2008 could use another 10 years in the bottle and it could be stellar. — 9 years ago

@Ron R hahaha thanks for the warning, but that just means more wine at home. More on the rosé - this sucker was crisp and refreshing. I'm not one for a tart for sweet sparking, and this was far from it. Toasted notes on the nose with strawberry and pistachio on the palate. Also helped when it was comped for touring the venue :-)

Congrats @Sean Smith. My fave Rose is Etude. For some reason, I just like the snob value of the brand. But the juice is fine.

Provincia di Pavia Moscato 2013

This is a refreshingly sweet (but not too sweet) wine that is very easy to drink. It works best for me drinking it chilled on a warm day (at the beach after sunset or at a casual outdoor music venue). The vintage that I tried was 2013. — 10 years ago
