I almost went to this dinner but they couldn’t tell me the menu. Important as I have some food allergies. I also asked about what they were pouring and they could not answer that either. For nearly $600 a person, I needed to know. Looks like a great dinner though.

x good year to be obsessed about...standout wines of the night were the 91 Volcanic Hill and the 2001 Gravelly Meadows. Really wanted to like the 1990 Lake(I have not tried Lake before), but it seemed a little light with a sharp finish. The 91 Volcanic Hill was singing with expressive notes of dark cherry, cedar, graphite, peppery and a nice long finish.

x too bad, it would have been nice to meet you. They had a nice group of people at the event with plenty of pours of wine. Hope they had a late night party cause I'm sure the 20 of us did not finish a 1.5L,3L,5L,3L of wine. Cheers!

Launois Père et Fils

Veuve Clémence Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

Willie Carter

Another beautiful champagne from the Launois family. A pale old gold color with nice perlage and intensity. Freshly baked bread and green apple aromas for days. Melons and white peaches with herbs for good measure. There’s an innate sense of lemon zest in the air that’s just magnificent.

Pure Grand Cru Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger. Four years of aging on lees gives this a resplendent and stately nature. Nice acidity and a superb mouthfeel, especially on the second day. Apples and chalk on the palate alongside vibrant citrus fruits. I struggle to think of a better value in Champagne than this. Stock up. — 2 months ago

We took @Jenks and C to their Napa restaurant for brunch on a Sunday and smashed four bottles of wine before sending them off to the airport 🥴

The winery claims to produce more different bottling of PN than any other wineries in the U.S. This is a good entry level bottling. Blueberry, raspberry, black tea, forest floor and warm spices on the nose. Medium body. Hint of fresh herbs on the otherwise juicy palate. Fresh lively acidity.
Cofounder Patricia Green died from an apparent accident some years ago. Glad that the winery carries on. — 20 days ago

Light gold in color.

Nice crisp nose with limes and brioche.

Light to medium in body with medium plus acidity and small bubbles.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing citrus, yeast, minerals, bread, green apples, herbs, earth, lemon juice and white pepper.

Long finish, tasty and elegant.

This 16 year old still feels very young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Rich and well balanced.

I love this vintage of Dom Perignon. Complex and interesting. I've had this vintage it a few times before, and it is very consistent.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food. Good stuff.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$350. — 3 months ago
