Drinks like village level red Burgundy. Makes sense since Anne Sophie apprenticed in Burgundy. Made like Burgundy, no carbonic on this cuvee and age in used Burgundy Barrels. Tart red berries, forest floor, a little spice. A favorite wine. — 3 months ago
Skin contact Georgian wines. Love to pair these wines with food. Especially hard to pair dishes. Weight, body and even medium tannins. Slightly savory and tart fruit with lots of herbal and floral notes thrown in. — 3 months ago
This is the Gewurz. Classic Gewurz: Spicy, acidic and so good with smoked turkey. — 3 months ago
Love Passetoutgrain from top Burg producer. Gamay/Pinot Noir blend, Passetoutgrain is usually light , chillable and a summer crushable. — 3 months ago
!00% Nerello Mascalese, Single Contrada from a favorite Sicilian Producer. This isn’t the typical lighter, easy drinking Nerello. This has body, weight and complexity. Darker fruit: black cherry, blackberry,raspberry, smoke, with tannins and acidity. Definitely capable of aging but I have a hard time time not drinking them! — 3 months ago
Acidity is the first thing that I notice in a Lauer wine. Always screaming pairs well with the peach, apricot and steely minerality. I remember this bottle having a hint of RS. — 3 months ago
I believe that this is the only wine that Pierre Borel bottles. 100% Cabernet Franc. Black fruited but not showing much herbal components. This is high quality Cabernet Franc that has been properly ripened. Delicious. — 3 months ago
100% Carricante. Shocked to find this at Costco. Underripe yellow apple, lemon zest, lemon curd, defined by the minerality, smoky,salinity and decent acidity. Not as steely as Muscadet and Chablis but pairs well with lighter seafood dishes that pair with those two wine regions. — 3 months ago
A Costco purchase made by Jean Marc Brocade. This is quality Petit Chablis at a great price: $15. Green apple, citrus, wet rock and great acidity. Should have bought more. — 3 months ago

Not as funky and rustic as Jura used to be. A little more modern with lots of red berries but sill lots of erthiness. Good juice! — 3 months ago
