2007 Domaine de La Selve 'Serre de Berty' Coteaux de L'Ardéche #Rhone #France. Beautiful #Syrah and #Merlot based #wine. Intense dark fruit and leather aromas. Plum, fig and barnyard interspersed with mineral, cedar, clove and sweet vanilla. Firm but soft. Craving some game meat right now! #sommelier #rhone #earthy #restaurant — 10 years ago

L. Mawby Cremant Classic NV, Leelanau Peninsula, Michigan. Disgorged June 2008. Nice bottle age notes. Dried citrus peel, toasted almond, brioche. Vibrant but soft bubbles. Lingering finish. Many would think this was champagne if tasted blindly. #wine #champagne #michigan #sommelier #restaurant — 12 years ago

2008 Hillinger St Laurent Burgenland. Perfect for the Pinot Noir drinker looking for some oomph. Lush dark fruits incl black cherry, plum and blackberry intermingled with forest floor, espresso and toasty oak. Soft tannins on the finish.

Schloss Reinhartshausen 'Von der Insel Mariannenaue' Weissburgunder Sekt from Rheingau, Germany. Pinot Blanc. Lively bubbles. Green fruit, loads of citrus and a whiff of toast. A tad astringent. Must be the racy acidity. From vines grown on Mariannenaue Island, the largest island in the Rhine River. #wine #bubbles #bubbly #fizz #germany #rheingau #sommelier#sommelier#sommelier #somm #restaurant — 12 years ago

2002 Lafond Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir. Seen better days. Dark and stewed with dried fig, plum and earth. Seems disjointed in it's old age. 15% alcohol to boot. Ugh! #santabarbara #pinot #sommelier #restaurant #pinot noir #wine — 12 years ago

2006 Amity Willamette Valley Pinot. Dense and rich style. Sweet dark cherry, red plum and wild raspberry begin the parade while roasted coffee, vanilla and black pepper bring up the rear. Still a bit young yet delicious now #wine #oregon #pinot #willamette #sommelier#sommelier#sommelier #somm #restaurant — 12 years ago
