Le Petit Silex
Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2014
Surprised at how much I didn't like this. Flabby, muted acidity with no fruit to balance. Overbearing inorganic earth, again, with none of that Sancerre tart passion fruit to add any depth... Will try again tomorrow — 9 years ago
Domaine des Nouelles
Rosé d'Anjou 2014
We picked this up at a gas station down the cape.... And it turned out to be one of the best rosès EVER!!!!! Bubble gum + lemon tart+confectioner sugar on nose. Palate is like one large delicious sour patch kid. This wine is on point — 9 years ago

Henri de Villamont
Prestige Bourgogne Chardonnay 2013
The first bottle of Chardonnay I've ever bought 🎉 white peach, lime blossom, fresh cream and baking spices on the nose, palate is crisp and buttery at the same time (?) .... More citrusy than expected, lime blossom turning more into lime oil. We've avoided delving into the world of chard for a while but this was a nice intro. Paired w arugula salad w strawberries, caramelized onion and melted tallegio. — 9 years ago
Chopo
Jumilla Monastrell
Smoked peat moss and overripe fig on nose. Palate has big bold structured tannins, with a long sour Cherry finish. Craving some blue cheese stuffed olives w this guy — 9 years ago
Twenty Rows
The Grappler California Zinfandel
Spicy, smooth, delicious zin. Dates and prunes on the nose- palate is rich, decadent, silky. Spices like cardamom and nutmeg are definitely present. Oh and VANILLA, black tea — 9 years ago
Stags' Leap Winery
Napa Valley Viognier 2013
One of my favorite varietals from one of my love's favorite producers 😍 espresso, warm caramel, nutmeg and cloves on the nose. Palate is dense, ripe, and soooo California. Perfectly rounded spice, long smoky finish. Paired well with mahi mahi in a garlic butter paprika sauce. Life is good — 9 years ago
