This is for @Timothy Lynch!
Went to Pastis, NYC and came away inspired by their excellent Tuna Crudo. Mine is a variation on that theme with Salmon coming along for the ride. Curly parsley, green onions, tarragon, coarse mustard and white wine vinegar provides the structure for the sushi-grade fish. The Ultramarine lifts the dish with its taut acidity and Meyer lemon notes. Thrilled with the combination. — 15 days ago

I read like a broken record. My prior notes apply. Excellent, contemporary example of the varietal. Bivio Pizzeria, Montclair, NJ. — 5 days ago
My snowboarding bud just opened a pizza joint in Montclair, NJ. Making dough from scratch and serving it quick, and the quality!!!
SugarShack became the pizza’s perfect foil. Lovely butterscotch notes on the nose transitioned to citrus notes on the mid palate. Just enough acid to caress the Italian mozzarella. I love the moderate sweetness this wine possesses. Overall, another excellent example. — 19 days ago
This has stood still in the bottle. So approachable and presents with such balance and moderation. We buy this example every year. Good for medium-term cellaring. — a month ago

Almonds and brioche on the nose. Marzipan on the mid palate, along with pineapples. Very youthful presentation with beautiful acidity and freshness. Shocked that this is 12 years old.presented so well. Sidecut restaurant, Four Seasons, Whistler, BC. — 12 days ago
An icon in Napa, and for good reason. Classic old-skool Napa style. Well mannered, subtle with an easy going temperament, almost backward. Notes of coffee, cinnamon and cherry play of moderate tannins. Acidity is perfectly balanced. No rush at all to consume these. Respect… — 23 days ago
So exotic and refined. Such an outstanding example of Sonoma chard. One of the few wineries where I’m on the list and happily purchase. See prior notes for additional details. — a month ago

Exploded from the bottle and created an immediate sense of urgency on the mid palate. Zesty and zippy with textured notes of pineapple and limes. Excellent presentation. — 2 days ago
