Baby Duck (andrès)

Sixpoint Brewery

Stooper Hazy IPA

Apple cider amber with thick day-fog top layer that reduces to snow crystal tam. Mutant duck pond straggling lacing soon becomes window sill insect anatomy graveyard. German beer nose with tinges of orange rinds dried and fresh. Yeasty-haziness gives it green plantain and lightest spearmint marshmallow and artichoke. Damn tasty though, despite its jumble of signals. Jamaican coco bread, rosemary bits, polenta, beer-bitterness that the style usually glosses gives it a nice perspective lemon peel and lime, candied ginger and grapefruit; all low-keyed and harmonious. Lemon bread with poppy. Tasty yeasty baby beastie.

Donation Osiris Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2001

I suspect wine of the night for most of us. Crazy new car ish floral smell, awesome acidity up front but do not fret.
Baby got back.
Consumed with some kinda sweet savoury duck thing @ the legendary @pekingduckhouse.

Gran Moraine

Estate Reserve Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir

A welcome gift from the new job. Dark cherries, blackberries and blueberries with heavy notes of salami, hickory smoke, and fresh ground black peppercorn on the nose. Bright and fresh, bursts upon the palate with cherries and red currants, giving way to ripe, fresh June strawberries and blueberries with citrus pith, and finishing with black currants, chicory root, and blackberries. Sexy tannins though the finish is a bit short, this baby has some life in it. Re-open in five but great with duck tonight. — 9 years ago

Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2019

2019 vintage. Easy, Tuesday nite Rhônefest. Dark plum, raspberry, cherry and modeling clay (!!) on the nose with some acidity/astringent notes. Medium/medium-light body and lacking the youthful and overt baby fat of some C-H producers/efforts such as/those of Delas. Pretty mid-palate, Burgundy-styled flair. That plum bouquet note transforms into spicy dark plum and ample tannins on a decently long finish. Would simply love to pair with duck or a thumb thick piece of swordfish. Has some pop and short-term (2-12 years) aging potential and can think of much worse fates than pulling the last bottle of this in a decade and opening. Has enuff stuff to cellar dweller. 3.7.23. — 2 years ago

Still very much a baby, but showing great potential. I wish we had more time to let it open up and flesh out texturally. A solid choice for BBQ duck. — 8 years ago

Enz Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018

What a delight… 11.5 ABV Pinot Noir with Granor Farms marinated duck breast and oven roasted baby butternuts and griddled potatoes. Ripe, blackberry and black cherry notes… medium weight, bright acid/fruit balance. Growing complexity as it warms…. Long, loving finish. A surprise with this label. — 2 years ago

Keefer Ranch Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2015

A baby 2015 Pinot from the Keefer Ranch. I really like this. It is less fruit intense than many CA pinots and its drinking nicely this young. I get some Syrah notes here. I opened it 2 hours before pairing it with duck. Thank you @Ehren Jordan — 8 years ago
