Baptiste Nayrand
Vésanie Côteaux du Lyonnais Gamay
Surprisingly effervescent, almost bubbly coffee with beautiful acidity and delicate red fruits, this is unlike any gamay I’ve had. The nose is complex, with bold vegetal notes, like roasted carrots and fennel, with hints of orange and fresh cut grass hidden in the wings. Palate is delicate, with surprisingly light body, and notes of tart red citrus, cranberry, raspberry, clementine, and underripe plum, with notes of strangeness like olive and balsamic vinegar, with a surprisingly mouth drying minerality and slightly tight tannic finish.

Lioco
Lolonis Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2020
Purchased on our honeymoon! Pale yellow with green hues in the color, with a pronounced nose of wet stone, fresh cut yellow apple and pear with subtle notes of honeysuckle, toasted brioche and vanilla. The palate has champagne like qualities, with golden stone fruits, a pronounced acidity, and a slightly “zesty” feeling on the tongue, with a mineral driven finish and notes of yeast/bread throughout. Good sav blanc, great memories. — 9 days ago

Mosel Pinot Blanc 2019
This has lasted for 3 weeks, open, in my fridge, and it’s still incredibly dry, crisp, and very drinkable. The acidity is as taught now as it was when I first opened it for my wedding. Paired perfectly with fish, the nose is very floral, with hints of Myer lemon, orange peel and beautiful citrus flowers with a light body, a very pale yellow, with hints of green, and a palate that hits with salinity, minerality and a sharp point of acid that hits early, and dulls to the end, emerging with further floral and crisp green fruits. — a month ago

Renardat-Fâche
Cerdon Bugey Sparkling Rosé Poulsard Gamay 2020
The nose is a beautiful balance of floral and red fruit, almost pinot-noir like, with notes of rose and candied raspberry. Unlike other Cerdon, the sweetness is dialed down, but the fruit is still ripe, rich, and we’ll balanced, with an awesome underlying minerality. This is by far my favorite Cerdon. — 17 days ago

Champagne like brioche at the finish, bright salt at the front, yellow/green color, and a mineral driven nose. This is very tastey and great now but could benefit from some years. — 3 days ago
