Wine Moments

Buisson-Charles

Vieilles Vignes Meursault Chardonnay 2022

2022 vintage. Less tied down to the traditional Meursault stylings and just going for it. Light-medium body. Moments of beauty. Moments of leanness and linear qualities. Lemon curd and (subdued) tangerine two driving forces in the flavor profile. Plenty of acidity without tippling/tipping over the edge. 10.8.25. — 18 days ago

Luretta

Carabas Colli Piacentini Barbera

Also had this at Boston’s Bubble Bath along with other well selected wines. Unlike any other Barbera ever tasted. From Emilia Romagna. Herbal snd chalky, with intense aromas reminiscent of Fernet Branca?! Concentrated but cooling red fruits. Unique, intriguing, one of rose oh my god wines keep surprising me moments. Great with a Bolognese from around the corner. — a year ago

Château Martet

Réserve de Famille Sainte-Foy-Bordeaux Merlot 2018

Holy moly! I think this could be a top 20 of all time for only about $50. I have a few more bottles and I will treasure them. Incredible! This bottle made me sad because I knew while I was drinking it, but the moments would end. Bold mouth feel with soft tannins and yet it’s only five years old. You could pair this with an old shoe and it would still taste incredible. — 2 years ago

Château Cantebau

Château Coucheroy Pessac-Léognan Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Château Coucheroy Blanc 2019
Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Bordeaux, France 🇫🇷

Overview
A 100% Sauvignon Blanc crafted by the esteemed Vignobles André Lurton family at Château Coucheroy. Located in Pessac-Léognan, this estate combines noble Bordeaux heritage with modern elegance. The wine’s name—rooted in legend of King Henri IV’s visit—underscores its timeless appeal.  

Aromas & Flavors
Pale yellow with green highlights, the nose is bright and vibrant with notes of lemon, citrus, and floral undertones. The palate mirrors this freshness with lime zest, delicate white florals, and a subtle saline touch that adds harmony.  

Mouthfeel
Refreshing and balanced, this wine is well-rounded yet crisp. Its texture is smooth and approachable, finishing with a clean, lingering mineral accent. 

Winemaking Notes
Vinification blends complexity and purity: partially fermented and aged in oak barrels for structure, and part in temperature-controlled stainless steel for freshness. Lees aging enhances depth without overpowering natural vibrancy.  

Food Pairing
Perfect with bright, lightly seasoned seafood: think green asparagus flans, grilled langoustines, or classic Saltimbocca alla Romana. 

Verdict
Château Coucheroy Blanc 2019 is a beautifully crafted expression of Sauvignon Blanc from Graves. It pairs refreshing acidity and mineral clarity with elegant texture—making for both a delightful aperitivo and a refined pairing wine. Its appeal lasts across meals and moments. Cheers!

Château Belair-Monange

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

Immediately after opening it was restrained, but two days later it was glorious if only for a few moments. Thanks, @Chris MacLean ! — 3 years ago

Weingut Glatzer

Dornenvogel Zweigelt 2022

Very fruity, light body and mouthfeel. Taste blueberries, milk chocolate, cherry, bit of blackberry. Reminiscent of holidays and moments before parties. Excellent bottle and ready to drink. — 8 months ago

Azienda Agricola Le Ragnaie

Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2021

2021 vintage. Medium-heavy body. Chunky with moments of clarity and moments of chaos. When it rolls in at the resto price waay under $30, compelled to pick up 4 cases. A fave Italian producer and this does nothing to dispel those feelings. 01.15.25. — 9 months ago

Bought the Brunello a couple of decades ago from a place called Gargiste in Seattle i believe - long gone - and boy took this winery of both on reputation and price.

Landmark Vineyards

Kanzler Vineyard Pinot Noir 2006

Slightly too old - which means, mysterious and sublime at moments and flat and stale at others. — 3 years ago
