Domaine de Saint Siffrein
Châteauneuf-du-Pape White Rhone Blend 2023
2023 vintage. Searching for potential CDP blanc replacements for the current (and probably 86'd) CDP blanc btg via Coravin offering. This is slightly less opulent and more true to place while being close enough in price for government work. Little mineral flourish on the back end. 10.01.25. — 20 hours ago

Pumphouse Block Temperance Hill Pinot Noir 2022
2022 vintage. Light-medium body but heavy intensity effectively rendered this as medium body. Definitely old-school OR pinot stylings. Decidedly NOT Plushyville, USA. Excellent introduction to the winery and their intentions/porpoise…er…purpose. 10.01.25. — 20 hours ago
Vincent Girardin
Les Vieilles Vignes Volnay Pinot Noir 2017
2017 vintage. Tasted via Coravin. Light-medium body. Decent enuff musty nose slathered with cola nut, rhubarb, root beer (?!?!) and cranberry interludes. Flavors (and pricing) okay but included a green streak (blend of raw green bell pepper and eucalyptus/menthol) right up front palate that never faded despite oxygen intervention. Bummer in the summer. BLNT (better luck next time). 10.01.25. — 20 hours ago

Heritage No 23 Whistling Ridge Pinot Noir 2023
2023 vintage. Picked up a case of this. (Fairly) Lean and (extremely) mean. Keeps on coming like you’re living in a Terminator movie. Light-medium body but the UV rays combined with the altitude means your palate gets ridiculously sunburned…er…challenged to a fight to the death. Woof. 10.01.25. — 20 hours ago
Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego
2022 vintage. Poured a bleep ton of this btg with the fleshy 2018 vintage which was declassified Meursault and Puligny grapes (9.1). This one is declassified Puligny and Chablis grapes so a little leaner. $23.38 a bottle cost for the resto was enticing. Interesting with medium + body but didn't quite knit together to the level I'd prefer. If I saw it in the wild btg, I'd hit it but wouldn't commit to an entire bottle for two. 10.01.25. — 20 hours ago
