Je Déteste Merlot 2019

SASY Saturday Blind Tasting. Nonfruit aromas dominate, leading us to a cooler climate. Spice and earth but not oaky. Lighter body, medium low acid and tannins. Process of elimination to effing merlot! — 2 years ago

Les Lavières Nuits St. Georges Pinot Noir 2013

Picked this baby up Nuit-Saint-George while touring France with the in-laws. Father-in-law currently in the cath lab for an inferior STEMI, so decided to break this one out of the archives. Best of luck, Ralph! — 5 years ago

Les Chaumes Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir

A good lunch wine! With an aerator and about 20 minutes the wine was well balanced, the femininity of Vosne and went well with the pasta and salad. No great shakes here but a perfectly respectable lunch wine! — 4 years ago
