Paolo Bea

Riserva Pipparello Montefalco Rosso Sangiovese Blend 2017

Wow. Like Chianti, but not. Black cherry and plum, balsamic and spice. Umami. Long finish. Perfect with Vivace carry out. Thanks Pearly Baker for the great selection. — a year ago

Henriot

Brut Souverain Champagne Blend

Henriot often flies under the radar and I get it, there are so many options out there...but don’t sleep on this house. This, their most modest offering, delivers immense pleasure for the price. A near 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (I guess they use 5% Pinot Meunier) the Brut Souverain displays well ripened pears, lightly roasted nuts, slightly burned brioche and a kiss of citrus. The texture is rich and creamy. The finish is long and satisfying. No disgorgement data. While there is a code on the back, I was social and wasn’t going to give myself the brain damage to decode that mess. — 3 years ago

André Perret

Clos Chanson Condrieu Viognier 2018

An over the top experience. Starts with vanilla blossom (noticeable new oak $$) and then the highest floral concentration I have ever experienced. It’s like sticking your nose in a fresh jar of super floral honey. Botrytis is obvious but it intensifies the concentration and adds that surprise element when you find that the wine is bone dry. The palate is in balance, with delicate florals, a touch of bitterness and plenty of stone minerality to compensate for the low acid. You have to turn your brain on for this one. — 2 years ago
