Loveblock

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2019

A welcome familiar face from my bar in NYC that luckily Tim’s Wine in Orlando, Florida carries.

Mineral, mountainside zephyrs, glens of dewy grass, peach in the nose.

Welcome fine, subtle carbonation. Supple grass like a day spent on the great lawn in Central Park in better times.

Peaches and the citrus of a mandarin orange. Love the sweet, creamy mouthfeel.

An ode to beautiful rolling meadows.

Saviah Cellars

Star Meadows White Blend 2016

This is a medium bodied white blend, with solid round tannic structure and a splash of residual sugar. Salient flavors are apricot, lemon and grapefruit with a little acidic bite at the finish. It is a good wine for Mexican food pairing. — 8 years ago

Château Blouin

Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Kicking back letting the local tunes adjust my attitude with wine:30 showing on the clock she strolls in my direction digging the slow roll Hendrix spinning left then twisting right dressed in deep purple clinging and flowing interestingly crimson along her rim and edges back to casually claret whispering that she's from a small chateau hanging on the right bank of the Gironde near Arveyres. Offering her hand, I accept pulling her in close then a slow spin and a slower twirl she comes close bathed in the essence of blackberry and spice, young but ripe, wet earthy slowly working her way to a first kiss dripping then gripping, pulling tightly then going soft and silky still clinging while working her way deeper. I close my eyes, Hendrix stops and she's gone. A distant guitar string bends an unknown player. I spot her by the bar, her colors waving in the breeze of a lazy fan I reach out take her firmly by the neck, then lower bending her gently back then spinning her my way, she again engages, her essence lingering in my memory, we dance on as the tunes continue their spin. Later, when we are both done I figure she's likely a fine Merlot brightened by Cab Franc having found her way through new French oak nestled by the river, intelligently nuanced well worth the dance and cost is not an issue...

Hanging at Promise' Land Market where the tunes are always righteous, the people are cool, the conversation is groovy and wines dance from the walls...

Dry Finger Lakes Riesling 2017

Intensely aromatic, pears, lychees, mangoes, eucalyptus.

Good overall structure. Fresh green leaves rustling in the spring breeze. Meadows of lush pears. Silk river on the tongue.

Refreshing.

On a Riesling kick as of recent. Especially FLX.

Carso Sauvignon 2013

Lemon essence, thyme and stone-filled grassy meadows greet the nose. That bright lemon vibe remains on the palate followed by salty minerality on the lengthy finish. It's almost as if the wine was made from a parcel carved out of Sancerre and then placed high in the Alps. — 8 years ago

Alsace Chasselas

2014 Chasselas. Exudes it's Alpine origins with aromas of grassy meadows, tiny white flowers, and raw hazelnut. A sip is dense and bracing and filled with just ripe stone fruit. Begs to be paired with a traditional Raclette feast. — 9 years ago

@Ira Schwartz red fruit was generous with a hint of leather, but really needed a big glass and a lot of time to get going, not peak yet IMO. I generally like how '04's are doing now, and this was a very nice bottle last night. I think overpriced though. No green notes to speak of.

@Severn Goodwin appreciate the insights . Funny I had my friend buy it after another friend told me no green to speak of. I think he paid about $180. Imo that was “reasonable” .
After he generously shared a bottle with with me I felt good about my suggesting he purchase.

You are a lucky one to taste this, I think $180 is reasonable as well, just for this experience, I thought the Volnay & Gevrey ('08's) paired on either side of this bottle at our dinner were more generous in the voluptuous fruit category, and both were lower cost. I've also had several of the Hudelot-Noëllat '04's in the past, I'd recommend those as well.
