Last week was a combo of 4th Friday and Open That Bottle Night on back to back nights. Needless to say, the lineup between both days was full of heavy hitters, so I’m only posting standout bottles.
A really nice Rhône white courtesy of the tandem François Villard and @Donald Patz . Floral notes of honeysuckle, lemon, sea salt and soft pineapple. Waxy profile that I tend to get with these Rhône whites, showing thyme, hint of orange blossom and honeyed stone fruits. — 6 years ago

Charcterful niiiice white! Honeymelon and lichie with a long taste on the palate. Starts a little bit musty on day one. So maybe give some air to enjoy without any disturbing mustyness. — 3 years ago
Rivig. Angenäm bitterhet. Apelsinzest, bakad citron, anis, kardemumma. Medelsyra, oljig och lätt tannin. — 6 years ago
Nose: a touch green.
Palate: some spritz. Medium cherry fruit. Very fresh. — 10 months ago
Beautiful lighter bodied st Joseph. Drink soon though, it’s the freshness that makes it the wine it is. — 4 years ago
