As an Arbiter Bibendi by day, I treat this as a fun table of friends from which I only really wish to sip and sup and mention some of the wines I truly enjoy or...
Lovely red of graceful depth, with brambly berried fruit, the lift of red plum skins, and fresh and nimble tannins. A delight. — 8 years ago
Fresh off the maiden delivery this is bright and bracing and despite the edgy hop notes and gunflint of a little shocky state having just landed this is effusive and charming with ruby grapefruit and fresh firm strawberries. A charming glass as ever. — 8 years ago
Exceptional tension, texture, fruit and fragrance with a beguiling finish that makes one’s eyes cross back into one’s head. Stunning! — 3 years ago
Delightful Oregonian Brut Nature Rosé made from Pinot Meunier in a fragrant, bright pink apple cider expression, chutney, and peachy mango pickle. Beguiling and every bit as charming as it is exotic. Raising this glass to the West —and the wondrous Lett family. À santé! — 7 years ago
Bright and buoyant this is woodsy and resinous but bright and taut with red fruit; pomegranate, red cherries, cinnamon bark, dried orange peels all combine to great effect -an elegant expression of Les Serpentières. — 8 years ago
2015 is stunning for a balance seldom found from the lively Sangiovese -one which could certainly bring out the best from just about any autumnal fare but go it alone as a glass by itself nicely. — 6 years ago
Fragrant and flavorsome this is a Syrah of thick skinned berries, savor, density and yet lift combined by stature and grace. — 8 years ago

Unreal. Closest to my favorite Nikolaihof Grüner Veltliners for its penetrating tension, polish, and sapid Grüner Veltliner liqueur. What a Grüner Veltliner must take like after you make it through the pearly gates. — 3 years ago
