Years back a plush monkey wearing a sombrero cradled a small acrylic painting of my own sat in a well maintained yet delicately musty loafer with a soviet hammer and sickle I'd also painted on the side was placed on my friends doorstep in the middle of the night. Shortly after my friend opened the door to quite a surprise, he was deep in the land of mushrooms, so deep he required conformation of the loafer monkeys existence. The complexity of that situation is not unlike this leathery, light, and colorful display. — 9 years ago

Rivig. Angenäm bitterhet. Apelsinzest, bakad citron, anis, kardemumma. Medelsyra, oljig och lätt tannin. — 4 years ago
Wow. Complex, ripe but deliciously structured, runs a line with aromas that remind me of a top Burgundy but then again... no. Not a super powered Syrah but a refined, elegant, complex, and cerebral kind of Saint Joseph. Challenges all the great regions of the Northern Rhône. 2010 — 6 years ago

François Villard consistently amazes me at taking white varietals that I tend not to get too excited about, and making wines out of them that make me want to sit down, stare off into space and think about stuff. 70% Marsanne, 30% Roussanne, non-sparkling St Peray. Evolves aromatically mid-whiff.......impressive. — 9 years ago
Red snapper and oysters in Dubai, why not. — 9 years ago
Very pale golden color with peach, apricot, spiced honey aromas. On the palate, it's creamy and ample and dryish with peach, apricot, honey and mineral flavors. Med finish. Fabulous with saffron rice tilapia! — 10 years ago
