Excellent white burgh, medium yellow color, lemon palate, a nice bit of heft, no acidic twist at the end. A little age on this one might be helping - another 5-7 years it could be really good. Perfect paired w roast chicken — a month ago

CA Rhône blend - ok not great, grew on me a bit after awhile with food - ok nose, touch of the barnyard, but palate is very wooden and doesn’t mellow much. Not sure if the age on this one helps or hurts — 2 months ago

Best red if the trip, a Franchetti from Pascopissciaro, a round bodied nerello mascalese from the cellar at Cave Ox in Solicchiata on the north slope of Etna. Would be even better with a few years — 16 days ago

9.8

Way too young/too fresh but quite tasty - so light in color it’s almost a rose - cherries the overriding flavor on nose and palate. No acidity and pleasingly quaffable. I think best of the fresh Beauj releases I’ve tried — a month ago

Good burgundy, served with boeuf burguignon - definitely on the darker/inkier side, plums on the nose, continues on the palate, maybe a bit of acidity at the back end but solid — 2 months ago

Fairly hefty/chewy Pinot - gorgeous nose/strong blackberry, but a little acidic on the palate. Lots of potential - Maybe could use some age — a month ago
