Final meal in Paris. I had read about Anthony Bourdain liking this place because of its simplicity and perfectly cooked meat. (Apparently one of his favorites in Paris). Great meal to close our week in Paris, especially if you like fire grilled meat as much as we do.

The Diane de Belgrade was a textbook Bordeaux. I liked it even more after a bit of time in the glass. This wine is also a reminder that even simple bottles can be amazing. @Robert et Louise in Le Marais. — 4 years ago

To borrow a page from @Anthony Lombardi postings, today Eddie Money passed away @ 70 years of age. Too soon!

So many childhood memories to his music. Was he the GOAT of Rock N Roll? Not exactly. But, he left his mark none the less. I find it’s memories that make music & wine greater.

So Eddie took his “Ticket to Paradise” and got himself “Home Tonight!” For all the great music and memories, I raise a glass of this appropriately choicen Champagne because of its bottling designation and say, cheers to Eddie Money. RIP Eddie. 💰 🎷 🎸 🎶🥂 — 7 years ago

Piggybacking on @Anthony Lombardi ‘s music/wine combinations, this Pfalz Riesling is gorgeous, a perfect accompaniment to ghosht kari, along with Sade’s masterpiece song suite Love Deluxe. White peach, bracing acidity, petrol, salinity, extraordinarily bright golden hue...amazing QPR. — 8 years ago

I second @Anthony Lombardi below on this, perfect description--deftly charts a course between Burgundian finesse and Cali fruit. Whole cluster tannins and limestone minerality undergird plush cherry, raspberry, rhubarb and flower petals. — 9 years ago

My first wine from the Savoie District in south eastern France near the foothills of the Alps. Thanks @Anthony Lombardi to awakening me to this district. Mondeuse performs well here. This wine had earthy mocha notes with a hint of tar. Barely medium weight , lacking in mid palate fruit power like we see in the Barossa for example coming from a much cooler environment here in Savoie. We see very little Mondeuse in Australia - Brown Brothers used to use it in a blend with Shiraz which was very long lived. Ultra Savoury and very good. Vive Le Difference! — 9 years ago

Saline/floral nose. Grippy palate, no flab. Mineral. Texture is fabulous. Really an unsung Tempier (in the words of @Anthony Lombardi). Perfect with herby spanikopita & marinated lamb. — 5 years ago

I was introduced to this wine last year by reading a post here by @Anthony Lombardi and fell in love with its simplicity. This is a second vintage that I’ve ordered and it presents a reasonable break to my Burgundian obsession. This riesling is bone dry with racing acidity. No malo and aged in very old barrels. Grapes grown in higher elev present also a hint of minerality. I’m sipping it but it needs food. Like — 8 years ago

If I were @Anthony Lombardi, the musical pairing might have been The Joshua Tree album, cuz I still haven’t found what I’m looking for. Quite good, but still not grok-ing the hype... — 8 years ago

Bought this knowing nothing about the wine on recommendation of my Delectable friend Anthony Lombardi, whom I have actually never met (one of the many things I love about this app). My initial reaction to the color and nose was WTF, not having any experience with these wines, but then I got it. Orange rind, over ripe peach, nectarine, apricot, orangina, capers, lemons, spice, sand, bunch of other stuff, all coming from a cloudy, orangish, smoky liquid that resembled what I understood to be wine, and I can’t say there was a finish because I kept tasting it long after it was done. Oh and it changed a lot over several hours. Felt archaic, organic, creative, weird, and natural. Thanks Anthony. — 6 years ago

70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay.
Dosage = 6 g/l

Initially a bit muted on the palate but opens up nicely with some air.
Not really a bargain at $40 which I guess is why you can now find it at Grocery Outlet (Napa) for $17.99.

@Anthony Lombardi Any association? 😁 — 8 years ago

Mencia is still unusual territory to me! But I would like to play more on its playground. @Anthony Lombardi I think you recommended this one! It hit my nose with leather but over the next hour or so unfolded: I got blackberries and flowers and dried savory herbs and then the green pepper came out to play, but just a bit. Mild in the acid, alcohol and body but still interesting. I would like to explore more Mencia! — 9 years ago
