Such a great Champagne at its price point. Satiny mouth filling mousse, laser like acidity. Delicious. — 4 days ago

Stunning. Dauvissat perfection. 2012 Clos is perfect tonight, with more fruit definition than Preuses as expected from the site. It’s textural, chiseled and powerful with Chablisen oyster shell minerality layered in a tidal wave of spiced orchard fruit and white flowers. It’s incredibly silky on the palate showing killer volume and density with racy citrusy acids and a sea spray-like salinity to round it out. When Dauvissat is on it’s hard to beat. And this is still young. — 4 days ago

Winery owned by same majority owner of Screaming Eagle and Bonneau du Martray. A pleasant surprise at age 14, still incredibly fresh with a Burgundian flair and toasty reduction. Fleshes out gaining weight and detail with air. Most definitely drinks above its price point. — 12 days ago

The oldest vintage I’ve had of this wine. It’s so special when it has age. Its tertiary character made for a perfect match with black truffle risotto. — 4 days ago

I’ve always enjoyed this vintage from Roulot. 2015 Tillets is in a great stage now, complex and layered with butterscotch and white flower aromatics and a weighty palate with great concentration and persistence. Lovely wine. — 10 days ago

One of my absolute favorite California wines. The California Latour. ‘97 is superb—vividly detailed and complex with both power and elegance. A masterful balance of fruit, tertiary character and cooling acidity with a silky palate and melting tannins. Hard to beat for a Wagyu pairing. — 12 days ago

Clean! 2012 BBM is in a terrific place, all about richness and intensity with deep complex layers of butterscotch, spiced orchard fruit and candied white flowers laced with minerality. The palate is voluptuous with tremendous density and volume and a finish that keeps on going. Top notch white burg! — 4 days ago

The Vosne-esque Aux Thorey is showing beautifully at age 14, perfumed and seductive with excellent depth and concentration. It’s dark fruited, black tea and spice tinged and laced with minerality. In a great place. — 10 days ago
