This is the Anderson Valley - love these Keyes Pinots - this one is better than the Ellenbach- no sparkle at all, austere blackberries, perfect aging, more refined than jammy — 10 days ago

This is the Tawse G-C - regal nose, but disappoints a bit on the palate - a little acidic and a little wooden - fruit seems too tight. Not sure if needs more age — 2 months ago

Wedding chard but haven’t had it in years - highly quaffable, on the lighter side, strong peach on the nose but fades a bit on the palate - I wouldn’t pair it with heavier sauces but works well with a light seafood dish — 3 months ago

This is Aeris, not the Gen Z lingerie store….either way, don’t love this - wooden nose, continues on the palate, initial sparkle faded with air but doesn’t overcome the earthiness implied by the smorgasbord of Italian varietals that make up the blend — a month ago

Excellent Pinot, beautiful nose, a little lighter on the palate but well balanced, still a bit of sparkle despite the age — 3 months ago

Excellent Pinot but I think inferior to the Tetarossa lineup — 4 months ago

Excellent Beauj from WB, aged just right, more structured than some others, no sparkle or acidity — a month ago

This might be OTH at this point - nose is great, full of fruit, but the palate comes up short and a bit wooden. I think this is part of the batch that froze in the garage at Verona - might have something to do with it — 2 months ago

Loved this esp for the value - I think age was key - just old enough to have a little mustiness/austerity to it, but young enough to catch all the fruit and well before the cobwebs set in. Paired with a 40oz ribeye shared by the table — 3 months ago
