Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 1978

I do love Musar. The bottle variations can throw you for a loop, but this one came out with a beautiful nose and a great palate. I sampled it by CoraVin the morning before taking it to Eulalie in Tribeca for dinner with old mates visiting from London who love Musar as much or more than I do. It had beautiful color and was translucent. I must have jostled it too much on the subway downtown because when we opened it, it was cloudy and had some fine sedement. Did not decant but allowed it to evolve over a couple of hours. I have a couple more bottles and will look forward to trying them. Enjoyed with lamb dishes and quail stuffed with foie gras and other offal. Delicious! — 7 days ago

Big Basin Vineyards

Homestead Block Roussanne 2018

Very nice, needs a bit more bottle time, guessing November, though completely drinkable now.

A chill in the air, a tangine of quail with preserved lemon & green olives, and a nice crackling fire, paired with the brightness and texture the 2018 Roussanne would be most proper. Or, something like that:)

Erath

Southern Oregon Quail Run Pinot Blanc 2012

We bought this 2012 in the tasting room in Willamette Valley on our honeymoon in August 2013. Glad we waited a few years on this one! Very bright honey suckle and maybe papaya (tasting notes) on the nose. Vanilla and buttery oak on the tongue, but nicely balanced by lemony acidity. Great wine! — 6 years ago

Paolo Bea

Riserva Pipparello Montefalco Rosso Sangiovese Blend 2011

Paolo Bea dinner at Semo. All wines were prepared by opening and slow-ox, prior to service. Abbreviated notes due to the setting. The 2011 pours a deep, hazy garnet with wild notes of Chinato, bruised fruit and leather. Profoundly sensual and also a smash with the quail. Drink now through 2031-ish. Bottle No. 1818/7320 — 8 months ago

Bliss Block Quail Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018

Had the 2018 vintage, which is young but outstanding. Can’t wait to try it in another year or two. It’s a little sweeter than the Susanna, but amazingly mellow. This wine only gets produced about once every 2-3 years. — 6 years ago
