The go to wine of my young 20s. It’s still a great bang for the buck. Medium bodied and versatile, it’s peppery on the nose and palate. Like in life, give it a minute to breathe and you’ll be rewarded with hints of dark berries. Maybe even black cherry… — 3 months ago
Strong and rich on the nose. Needed some time to open up and let the alcohol dance itself out to expose the ripe flavors of Bacchus. Ends spicy and dry apropos for a rigatoni alla puttanesca. Not worth the price tag. — 5 months ago
Purchased after a private Estate Tasting with the estate manager. I’m gobsmacked. From the smell of the cork to the balanced notes on the nose it’s a delight. The taste. The finish. No words. A powerhouse. Poured 45 minutes before enjoying outside at Pasó del Rio for Mama Elvira’s 68th. Divine. Happy birthday mamá — 2 months ago
Mineral and slate on the nose. Smooth from the first sip right out of the bottle. Enjoyed with ripe nectarines, sharp cheese, and rosemary characters on summer evening while the sun went down. — 3 months ago
An absolute delight from the first notes of citrus on the nose to a touch of the divine on the palate. Everything a Sancerre should be. As smooth as The David’s bottom and enjoyed on our third anniversary. — 6 months ago
A local Sonoma choice while in Concord, CA. Shale on the nose and smooth lemon citrus on the taste buds. Everything I want my Chardonnay to be. Enjoy with Lala and Nonna at Paso del Rio over a cheese, pickles, and fig plate. Bacchus approves — 3 months ago
Much lighter in color than a typical Sancerre and not as much body as you’d hope or expect. More alcohol forward on the nose and palate. Must serve chilled to not be in the disappointed state we find ourselves. — 3 months ago
Hints of pear and sweetness that are unwelcomed in a Sancerre on this summer day. — 5 months ago
Delicate nose met with a medium to almost full body smack of delight on your taste buds. Hints of lemon zest give way to melon. Served chilled on this Mother’s Day. — 6 months ago

Delicious notes on the nose and dark berries and oak on the palate. Smooth. Enjoyed outside a cool summer night in the east bay with grilled meats. — 2 months ago
