Celebrating Bastille Day with the spring dinner of the Confrerie St Etienne of Alsace association. Wonderful menu and perfectly paired wines.

Wow. Leave it to the dessert wine to run away with Wine of the Night! Honeyed cashews, honeyed stone fruits, guava, pineapple, caramel and honeycomb. Like a lighter version of Dolce. Insanely good! On the hunt for some of this. Thought of you
@Greg Ballington since it’s a South African wine!

@Shay A what dessert did they pair it with?

@Peggy Hadley : It was paired with traditional Napoleon, which is fitting given the history of this wine...”Napoleon drank it on the island of St Helena to find solace in his lonely exile” according to the producers of this wine. Incredible pairing.

Reserve Kaiser Vineyard Chardonnay 2013

When you hike in the Finger Lakes, you can easily think you're in Burgundy or Alsace. The topography is very close and the climate is just a little more continental. So the choice of grape varieties follows naturally. Pear, apple, and a little pineapple fruit come across in this wine. It has some stony and steely minerality, but less than typical for this region. There's a lot of vanilla and butter, with smoke and oak. These latter elements are too strong in my opinion. And the acidity is a little too weak. If that and the fruit were stronger this would be on par with Chablis. So it's a little off balance. But I enjoyed it very much with a salmon salad. — 9 years ago

Tikka's Run Pinot Gris 2014

Really solid and surprisingly special Pinot Gris here. Nice muted tropical aromas that don't attack with tutti fruitiness but offer a nice freshness.

Rounded mouthfeel with lip smacking acidity. Truly impressed by this effort.

Rhubarb Wine

Fantastic wine from my favorite winery. Definitely not the sweetest wine, as it has a touch of bitterness to it - but it certainly blends well for an excellent flavor that goes well with food or on its own. You definitely can't go wrong with the Mallow Run Rhubarb, even if you prefer drier wines. — 10 years ago

Wait, what? Southern Oregon...where’s that, and how did they come to make such amazing white wines? The sock puppet has questions. Voluptuous density with amazing balance of floral, spice, and tropical fruit notes. Gonna have to look into this Muscat thing... — 8 years ago
