Lover of: all things light, minerally, & red; in search of the perfect Chenin blanc, cru Beaujolais, mountain Nebbiolo, & varietals unknown.
No formal notes. A very decent Albariño very much on the saline end of flavor spectrum. — 12 days ago
Kinda forgot how white Bordeaux is a bit of a sleeper when it comes to summer whites. A bit sleeker & more crystalline than my top dog White Bordeaux, but still fresh white flowers, some marzipan, & distant cut grass. Heavier on Semillion blend, which is my preference. — 12 days ago
No notes. QPR mineral wrapped. Worth seeking out — 21 days ago
No notes, but dense Albariño with much preserved lemon & raw fennel notes. Perfected grilled chicken & shrimp on skewers — 6 days ago
A very proper, stand up white that happens to be a rose. Excellent concentration & legs in the glass, with a mesmerizing salmon color. Quite textured & dry on the palate, with quince, white flowers, & an impressive minerality. A lot of wine for 20$ on sale, & food will only help it. Pedigreed maker whose Chenin blancs sell starting 4/5x as much. Paired with harissa chicken & rice. — 10 days ago
Give it air & time, & it unfolds into a crunchy, layered black fruited Beaujolais beauty. Except it’s from Ribera Sacra — 17 days ago
Magnum, from a private cellar sold via wine store. The concentration is there, but the vibrancy & fruit are on the downward slope. But a 40$ experiment well worth the pull. — 6 days ago
No formal notes. An elegant physical bottle given the 10$price but it’s all about the rich Carignan fruit, which ain’t my thang — 12 days ago
Tasted blind with friends who thought more in the Alsatian dry Riesling or Pinot Blanc spectrum. I can taste why: has a thick mouthfeel & density of that area, & the Sauvignon Blanc Is a bit of a Zelig as it warms up. Very, very good. — 17 days ago
