Domaine Amélie & Charles Sparr
Montagne de Roses Alsace Pinot Noir 2022
Le Morette di Valerio Zenato
Lugana Mandolara Turbiana 2023
Well here is the thing - I tasted this along side the worlds record holder in speed tasting - so voila - I have no notes. This was an oddball white from Lake Garda with a unique flavor profile so it was up my alley. — 10 days ago
Domaine Brusset
Tradition Le Grand Montmirail Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2025
Gèrald Talmard
Mâcon-Chardonnay 2024
Tastes odd. 🍋 musky back palate - quite bad sorry. Screwcap so it is not the cork! 2024 was a sucky vintage. — 7 days ago

Kreuznacher Kahlenberg Auslese Trocken Dry Nahe Riesling 1997
DRY! 80$ at Mr. A’s in San Diego a ridiculous deal for the 1% in the know. Yes it happens the great little bottle underpriced for what it is. Riesling Dry Auslese and 29 years old. 12%. Cork in excellent condition. Beautiful wine. Light on its feet. Petrol yes but not to much. Touch bitter. Bee’s wax. Faint Smoke. Tart back palate - it has some tannins. First pass I thought not enough acidity. Now 5 hours later / perfect. I would drink this as an aperitif before dinner and then again at the end. Kudos to the crazy Sommelier who still takes risks!!!! — 10 days ago

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2019
Enderle & Moll
Baden Spätburgunder Rosé 2021
Learned helplessness. Man 12%. And 20$ or so. I just can’t help it - this is the best Rosé ever. Unfiltered. This was really shaken not stirred when I traveled about town before it was popped. Tart, rhubarb gal-lore!!! Lemon. Typically I hate Rosé’s which often taste like nothing / this ain’t it. — 10 days ago

2022. 13.5%. Outstanding - James Suckling gave it 98. Typically not my go to guy - but here he is right. A masterpiece. Quite big and earthy. Tannic, dark. Touch bitter. Fragrant. Silky texture. Dark cherry, Cola, Elderberry. Touch Cardamom. As it gets more air plum. Nice minerality and a long finish. This will age easily for 10 more years and gain complexity. At Birdrock Fine Wines. Hopefully still on the tasting bar today - or sold out? - picked up 4 bottles. — 15 hours ago
