Haut-Bailly Dinner in SF with Veronique Sanders of Haut-Bailly.
The 2012 is living up to its reviews. It’s good & well priced. The dark fruits are ripe, juicy, cola notes, menthol, dark, moist, turned earth. Drinking nicely now but, still a hold for another 5 years plus.
Served with Coq au Vin. Baby Carrots, Mushrooms, Pearl Onions & Red Wine Sauce. Mathilde French Bistro

Bought at local SF store near gym. Great color med red ruby color with unfiltered opaqueness. Nose of tart red fruit and freshly cut flowers. Nice med acidity on the palate, Burgundian finesse, light earthy notes. Really like this wine. — 5 years ago

Beautiful rosé with Emily. Bought from SF — 4 years ago
Maturing beautifully with plenty of fruit and tannins. Cocoa tobacco? Perfect pairing with duck leg confit and huckleberry. (Birthday at Frances in SF) — 5 years ago

1999 Vina El Pison Rioja. Drank after the ‘85 Lopez de Heredia for A&S’ Anniversary lunch at Coq SF. Didn’t decant very long, but delicious. Much more fruit, tannin, and structure than the Heredia, since much younger. Delicious, but different. — 5 years ago

Tenuta Il Falchetto Bricco Paradiso Barbera d’Asti Superiore DOCG 2019: Medium-bodied. High acidity. Approachable tannins. Dark fruits. Spice. Oak. Flavorful long finish. Had this wine a few weeks ago at the Slow Wine SF event and I am still talking about it today: The color! The taste! The nose! Such an exceptional wine. Hands down my new favorite Barbera! Great weekend to all! Cheers🍷 — 3 years ago
