X Marks The Spot

Château La Nerthe

Les Granières de la Nerthe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2019

Is there a more classic pairing than CdP and Doritos?
I give this wine higher marks than its other reviewers. This 2019 is in a sweet spot. Very light and lush, like a pinot noir. Raspberries, plum, and earth. Not a lot of spice. Low acidity, low tannins, but not like it's over the hill. It's not what I expected, but it's really really good.

Red Blend

Completamente vale la pena. Hits the sweet spot of quality on the y axis and price on the x axis. Seems like anything blended with a garnacha floats the boat ⛵️ . Idk how I haven't seen this at TJ's yet — 8 years ago

Oro de Calabaza Artisan Golden Ale

This is reminiscent of the Freigeist Berliner-Weiss without the glut glug x-factor. It's delicious, refreshing and hits the spot on a balmy day no doubt. — 10 years ago

Le Coteau de la Baume Crozes-Hermitage Shiraz 2022

One more time a month after. Prior notes apply.
3rd wine of my family-organised blind tasting for my 40th birthday (tomorrow). I happened to buy this wine a few weeks ago after it had been bought by my wife and daughter for the purpose of this tasting and I saw some smiles and question marks on their faces while buying this which I didn't understand on the spot.. now I get it. I called this a saint joseph... close enough. Well, not according to my daughter who said I failed badly... have kids they say...

Domaine du Vieux Lazaret

Cuvée Exceptionnelle Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

Excellent structure. Needs to decant, but afterwards is worthy of high marks. Spice, fruit, some funk but not overdone at all. If you decant it’s spot on. — 7 years ago
