Lord Sandwich

Henriot

Millésime Brut Champagne Blend 2003

2003 vintage. Just enuff acidity to lord over the proceedings. Initially, “cheesy.” That dissipates somewhat and gets very harmonious very quickly. Cleans up a bit on the finish. Should be able to glide hither and yon for another 5-7 years at this level. 1.10.24. — a year ago

Caravina Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Good lord…I can’t even taste any alcohol. Amazing balance, not jammy, finishes smooth. — 3 years ago

Domaine du Bel Air

Jour de Soif Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2018

Smells: Wood stove smoke, something nutty / red meat
Tastes: makes me think of a really good deli sandwich, good bread with a healthy portion of meaty-ness,

Strawberries, creamy, cotton candy, peach & pear. Went well with cheese & a turkey sandwich, but not strawberries — a year ago

Tesoro Della Regina

Valdadige Pinot Grigio 2020

Looking for another Pinot Grigio and saw this with a great rating. Opened 2020 for sipping with friends in Texas and everyone complimented the wine. It is crisp, refreshing and aroma that suggests peach and melon with touch of honeysuckle as noted elsewhere. It will be a part of my collection for daily enjoyment! By the way, went well with grilled portobello and cheese sandwich. — 3 years ago

Vigneto Saetti

Rosso Viola Lambrusco 2017

My true Lambrusco love - earthy (farty) crunchy red berries and pomegranate, super dry, juicy acid, great level of frizz. Woven cloth label is not to be ignored. This is such a killer food wine - muffaletta sandwich from Lucca for lunch and leftover Indian for dinner. Detecting an inkling of mouse at dinner so drink quickly. Shouldn’t be hard. — 5 years ago

Please dear lord let it open to its full goodness. So far not. But the rich potential is there. — 2 years ago

Charles Heidsieck

Rosé Réserve Brut Champagne Blend 2006

Good at 55 degrees, but even better at 40! Nose of strawberries, brie, walnut, sourdough bread. Enters with small bubbles, crisp, acidity in check. Crisp red apple, strawberries, hint of young raspberry. Finishes with more rounded edges and creamier notes -- strawberry sorbet! I would have never guessed that this was an 06 Vintage Rose. I think this one has a whole LOT of life left in it and will keep all the other bottles in the back! Went insanely well with a pastrami sandwich with coleslaw and bacon! — 5 years ago

Pale salmon color in the glass getting darker towards the core. Yeasty with toasted rhubarb, baked red fruit pie, rose petal, and a little bit of classical chalky limestone. Less strawberry cream/kiwi than most rosés but more aged and evolved fruit. In fact, this has a more “refined” type profile than most and I dig it. Totally delicious now, but will age nicely!
