Sativa Mendocino Carignan 2017
Would have given it maybe an 8.5 on night one. Just had one glass and it was only OK. A little sharp. It really opened up by night two and I felt like it had more flavor and character. — 9 months ago

Hanzell Vineyard Chardonnay 2022
A local Sonoma choice while in Concord, CA. Shale on the nose and smooth lemon citrus on the taste buds. Everything I want my Chardonnay to be. Enjoy with Lala and Nonna at Paso del Rio over a cheese, pickles, and fig plate. Bacchus approves — 3 months ago
Domaine Méo-Camuzet
Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2013
Really only comes alive with fatty foods or cheeses. Drank at a Lioco tasting at a friend’s place and we agreed that, on its own it’s too closed up and austere, but blossoms with food! — 8 months ago

Saveria Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2017
2nd wedding anniversary wine! Bought in our honeymoon in July of 2022 and saved for today! This in a has aged beautifully, with a nose that’s just starting to hint at age, but still pushes forward balance between fruit like black cherries, fresh plums and velvety notes of rose, and some musty mushroomy forest floor. The color is like deep, perfect rose, amazingly big flavor for being so low abv. The acidity is still there but definitely subsiding, and being replaced with some spicieness, dark cherry, hints of licorice, robitussen, rose water, fresh olive oil, even a bit of balsamic! — 5 months ago

Ojo de Perdiz Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Chardonnay Rosé 2020
Pale pink/orange color, medium, slightly oily body with a prominent floral nose, with notes of orange blossom, slight baking notes and mandarin citrus, with a somewhat deep, underlying funk hidden in the background. Palate has prominent citrus, slightly underripe lemon and acidity from the start, with a slightly creamy finish with hints of watermelon rind and a subtle minerality that stays with you on a lingering finish. It’s very good, but I don’t know if it’s for all that often. — 2 years ago
