Santa Barbara County Chardonnay 2022

Wow this is a great example of Santa Barbara Chardonnay. Some wood in the nose next to moderate tones of tropical fruit. In the mouth it has a slight salty tone. Paired beautifully with 60 months old Parmezan cheese. — 8 days ago

Guillaume Selosse

Au-dessus du Gros Mont Champagne Chardonnay

This cuvée belongs at the very top of the Selosse line. Incredible depth of singular aromatics, a seamless marriage of textural richness and elegance and a vibrant chalky mineral-saline finish that just stays with you. Just 600 bottles made. — 3 months ago

La Bauge Au-Dessus Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2018

I’d like to think I could at the very least, name this as a California Pinot in a blind tasting. Text book. Very good. But I’m bored with ok textbook… — 18 days ago

Hildegard Estate Bottled Santa Maria Valley White Blend 2020

May be my favorite table white wine of all time. Complex, has weight, more amber and rich in color, fruit but not overly so, not oaky. Drank with spicy tuna sushi dishes. Was fantastic. — a month ago

Domaine Marcel Deiss

Le Jardin des Anges Engelgarten Cru d'Alsace Riesling Blend 2011

Deep gold in color. Apricot cobbler, ginger, ripe peach, and petrol on the nose. The palate presents apricot liquor, flint, orange liqueur, white pepper, ginger, cinnamon, clove, dried stone fruit, and lemon. Medium bodied, medium alcohol, medium acid, and a long complex finish. This wine is at its prime at 13 years old. A fascinating wine. — 2 months ago

Au Paradis Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Best on Day 2. The 2013 “Au Paradis” pours a deep ruby with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears and some signs of light sediment. On the nose, developing the wine is developing with notes of brambles, plums, tobacco, some leather and woody notes, vanilla and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and the texture is pretty plush. To my palate, pretty much a fastball right down the middle of the plate and not quite as intriguing as the “Les Pavots” from the same vintage. Drink now with some patience and through 2038. — 2 months ago
