Cayuga White
Domaine François Raveneau
Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2012
Lovely limpid oily fruit. Soft lime and salinity with a strong liberality. Light and focused and delicious — 11 days ago
Chateau Montelena
Napa Valley Chardonnay 2021
Drank at VA with grilled chicken and mahi mahi, hummus, rice, and naan. Good pairing. Light oakiness, grass, very slight tang. I like it. Probably in moderation since I’m not generally a Napa chard fan. — 21 days ago
Bonneau du Martray
Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2011
A pristine bottle tonight, and I particularly love the vintage for the producer, as it captures the perfect balance of richness and focus. It’s exceptionally detailed, powerful and layered with lemon cream pie-white flower aromatics with a deep, creamy and mineral inflicted palate. In top shape, and may even outlast the surrounding 10/12 vintages which are almost always premoxed. — 11 days ago
Pol Roger
Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill Brut Champagne 2012
Bright lemonade, notes, chalk, zesty. An oily texture with hints of lime, slate and a sweetness. Surprisingly approachable given its age and great balance and definition. Long and delicious. From mag. — 11 days ago
Domaine Roulot
Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2018
Rich with notes of lemon, orchid fruit, wet stone, mineral, saline & acacia flower. — 10 days ago
Dom Pérignon
Brut Champagne Blend 2008
2008: a very bright young feeling champagne at 17yrs of age. A resolute acidity carries the brioche and white fruits along! I am unapologetic about my fervor for Dom. — 21 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour or so. No formal notes due to the setting. The 2009 seems to break from the reputation of the vintage with a freshness and verve that surprises. The typical quality of Cristal is there with its persistent mousse and attractive texture. Good acid too. Pretty tasty stuff and I’m not sure I would ever turn down a glass of this. Drink now through 2039. — 9 days ago
