Kamptal Gruner Veltliner-in Goldener Adler Innsbruck: very good pairing for straight down the line Austrian food (Pumkin seed oil dressed salad/leberknödelsuppe/Wiener schnitzel/deer ragout).
Quite floral -served to lift the slightly clumping (but excellent) food flavours. — 2 years ago

Domaine du Petit Logis Muscadet sur Lie. 2019 so perhaps a bit fatiguée, but “sans vices..” (also sans zing). Pretty good for the price point. — 2 years ago

Like M. Pain’s vineyard, this is tidy, and easy to enjoy. Still some hints of something a bit more complex beneath the easy-drinking rôbe. — 2 years ago

Happy food-friendly Pinot. Billed as from the Auvergne (although VdF), but very composed and not at all rustic. — 2 years ago

Just superb.
Poised, balanced, elegant, very true to cépage in the best possible sense.
Wears its 14% very well.
Altogether exceptional — 2 years ago

Passes the ‘proper wine’ test. Excellent with lamb chops. Very enjoyable, and actually had a lot about it. Good value from WS. — 2 years ago

Oaky and with bottle age, but still definitely Muscadet, and ‘still fresh’ — 2 years ago

Brilliant with oysters, then soupe de poisons-absolutely clean, saline, supple, and altogether delicious. — 2 years ago

2019 Domaine de la Paleine Cab Franc appellation Saumur. Food wine-tannic and a bit less expressive of cepage. — 2 years ago
