Jura Wine Tasting: deep golden hue/slightly brown; prominent volatile acidity somewhat distracting, almond, honey, not much fruit evident; sherry-like on the palate, great acidity, very long, 13.51% ABV; made from 100% barrel-fermented Chardonnay in oxidative manner without topping up or adding S02, reminiscent of Jura Chardonnay in the style of Ganevat, sourced from Guman Vineyard in Coombsville; release price $40, purchased at $85 on premise

Scholium seminar with Abe Schoener at Stanley’s Wet Goods in Culver City. The Sylphs is always one of our favorites. Typically untopped in barrel for two years, the extra oxygen gives it a nice nutty profile.
