Gustave Lorentz
Reserve Alsace Pinot Noir
Age showing in the color with a dulling rim, but the ruby red was in there. Red fruit and earthy aromas, currant flavors (the tart red fruit of a cherry, but not as fruity), a good amount of acid and some soft tannins. Currant component tasting (in the wild!). — 3 years ago

Mast Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 1987
Not holding up as well as many other 80’s Napa cabs - but still delicious and loaded with spice. — 3 years ago
Domaine Zind Humbrecht
Clos Saint Urbain Rangen de Thann Riesling 2017
Whites and reds from our recent Confrerie Saint Etienne dinner. I was fortunate to take home the last bottle, and I’m glad we have a few extras to keep hidden in the CSE cellar for a few years to see how they age.
This was paired alongside a Gustave Lorentz Gewurtztraminer Reserve, with the food being Lemon Sole. Wonderful pairing. Hardly any whiff of petrol here…more tropical than anything (guava, green pineapple), lemon and limestone. On the palate, this is one of the more commanding and deeply rich Alsatian Riesling’s I’ve had in a while. It’s nervy down the mid-palate, but really fleshed out on the sides…big time balance. Mineral streak, and total Alsatian vibe to it, but all dialed up to 11 (in a good way). Even over the course of dinner, this improved. Still on the upswing. — 2 years ago

Evidence Riesling 2018
The epitome of fresh- lemon and lime, lime peel, green apple. It dances bright and on the palate in an angular fashion with the same intense flavors that trail. Slightly bitter finish. Overall good quality. Ecocert organic certified. — 4 years ago
