Côtes du Rhone Red Rhone Blend 2018

Gave some friends a pair of tickets to a wine tasting. This was one of the wines they tasted and they thought we’d enjoy it. They were right. Nice thank you gift. — 20 days ago

l'Oiselet Saint-Chinian Red Blend

Interesting blend. The ‘17 still had a touch too much acidity in ‘23, but I can see it’ll knit nicely as it goes on. Individual wine from a personal vision, meant for the long run. — 5 months ago

Cuvée Armandine Blanc de Blancs

A very nice BdB made in an oxidative style - ripe yellow & red apples, bruised apples, subtle shortbread & brioche, a hint of fresh hazelnuts. Rich, evolved, so nice.
Very fine mousse on the palate, persistent bubbles, beautifully balanced with just a touch of residual sugar adding a nice creaminess on the palate.
This is truly a nice sipping bubbly.

COTE 50 Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2019

Really quite nice especially for the price. Need to drink more cab franc with burgundy prices continuing to climb. Quite generously fruited - but less of the green peppery note I was expecting. Drying tannins on the slightly chunky finish, but still refreshing with good acid. Nice pairing with roast chicken thighs with olives and feta. — 3 months ago

Guer-Van Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2018

Loved the nose. Savory. Wild berry. Olives. Nice young, but as it did open over many hours I’m guessing this needs a few years to be at its best. I’m buying another to find out. — 7 months ago

Blanc Pinot Gris Terret

Rich floral summer bouquet on a hot sunny day, tart mealy apples, pears, honeysuckle palate with a lightly prickly finish that has a touch of leathery earth. Really elegant and pretty wine ☀️ — a year ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Rosé Blend 2017

Delicious Musar Rose from a young vintage. Complex flavors that really opened up with the decanting recommended by Yannick Benjamin. Great combination with the spice and textures of the Peruvian food at Contento. — 2 years ago
