Somewhat chalky Pinot, perfectly nice/evenly balanced, age bails this one out somewhat but ultimately boring, doesn’t rise to the level of my central coast favorites — 2 months ago
Big crowd pleaser after an austere Bordeaux at a recent dinner - very fruit forward but not unpleasantly so - I need to try again in my own space — 6 days ago
Took awhile to open but once it did this is a pretty decent Cab - nose is full of fruit - blackberries - palate is a little sparkly, slightly underwhelms vs the nose but still solid — 2 months ago
PJW mag selection at RJW memorial - quintessential petite Syrah - super jammy despite 20+ years — 23 days ago
Solid value Burgh, nose a bit subdued but palate somewhat fuller, still crisp (not always a compliment) but no acidity and a little twist of oak at the very back end. I would put this at the top of the heap of JSW quaffing burghs (tho this came in a white case from WB) — a month ago
PJW 6 pack for his visit - this is OTH, definitely some funk, Paul says wasn’t kept well, but great bones, it really grew on me as it opened - smoky, a bit of cobwebs, love it. Should seek out a ‘16 — 2 months ago

This is the Couterier St Veran Cour de Bois…..an eminently quaffable white, a real thirst quencher - does that make it good? Pretty simple, sparkly, bright nose, not much structure or body, but tasty. None of that acidic finish I dislike — 5 hours ago
