One of the best things I’ve had in recent memory. Lychee, passion fruit, sapote - some of the most beautiful fruit in one place — a month ago

Dry, light, citrus. Not overly complex. Nicer cavas are better value. — 3 months ago

Hermann? Hybrid?

Severn Goodwin

@Tom Casagrande Yup MO drinking. It's a hybrid of two grapes I'm unfamiliar with, started out in VA, ending up in MO.

Loved it. Crisp, vibrant stone fruit, minerally infused and a tangy sweet under note. It paired perfectly with aged, white cheddar (Cougar gold!) topped with either a jalapeño infused strawberry preserve or a plum chutney. 😋 — 2 months ago

Finger Lakes Dry Riesling 2020

Paul J

9.2

Half bottle. Light gold color. Nose dominated by petrol and maybe some melons and pineapples. Wine is very deep and more sweet than acidic. On the younger side with potential.

This opened up nicely after 20 mins+, even got some subtle lilac tones. — 2 months ago

Light gold color. Pineapple and petrol on the nose. Massive 4th of July sparklers with a sweetness component on the palate. Medium minus depth and medium finish. Very enjoyable. My best bottle of this wine and vintage. — 4 months ago

Extra Quality Brut Champagne Blend

Jay Kline

9.0

Popped and poured; no formal notes. The “Extra Quality” is a silly, old-school sounding designation…but this is sort of an old-school style of Champagne. It was a little “meh” on the first pour; unwilling to show much. However, with some air it opened up and displayed a pleasant balance of fruit and autolytic character. Works a little better with food than an aperitif. Disgorged May of 2022 — 4 months ago

I’m a fan of this producer. Had their 2010 BdB a few days ago…excellent.

Jay Kline

@Shay A I’ve enjoyed this producer the few times I’ve had the opportunity to experience them. Last summer, we drank their ‘99 d’Harbonville and that was outstanding
