2023 vintage. Last tasted 10.8.25 (9.1) and it was packing demonstrative oak influence but had enough fruit/acidity to triangulate more than effectively. This effort tasted colder the entire time (< 52 degrees) and a different animal. This experience in some tweener, alt-world betwixt Chablis and Chassagne with elements of both without committing to either. Some steeliness. Some “minerality.” Delicate kisses of oak along the way. Picked up 3 cases but wanna have this as an affordable, crushable white Burg for a spell so may hafta triple down given the region’s creep…okay…lunge in pricing the last few years. 2.6.26. — 3 months ago

**Note: 100% Grenache, not a blend.** Orange, rose, herbs with a nice medium body. Interesting and delicious! — 7 years ago

2011 vintage. First time with this producer. Purchased an out of town bottle (along with a buncha BDX) approx two months ago and finally got around to driving 1.25 hours one way to pick up. Pressed immediately into service tonight. Sweet fill and good cork. Nose a bit musty. Not decanted as I was at home and too lazy for the hogsheads of real fire and whatnot. Light-medium body. Sultry notes of cinnamon, tangerine peel and slightly carmelized brown sugar betwixt drought earth and brackish water. Doesn't exactly sound like an Oscar for a memorable performance but this was firing. Lengthy finish. At the top of the bell curve and tastes like it'll remain as such for another 5-6 years. In that oh so sweet spot for dynamite, 1er Cru red Burg. At (only) roughly $170 a bottle (including shipping this time), purchasing four more bottles as we speak. I'd like to thank the Academy...er...the credit card. 12.10.24. — a year ago

We got engaged. This beer is a California-to-Maryland collaboration, and it’s called Kisses Betwixt Mr & Mrs This is Ridiculous, and it’s got a cute elegant couple kissing on it all over the label. It was delicious. Best beer of my life. Assateague Island National Seashore, August 31, 2019. — 6 years ago

2018 vintage. 36% Petite Syrah, 30% Syrah, 22% Mouvèdre, 12% Grenache. Broken up betwixt Paderewski (77%) and Catapult (23%) Vineyards. Big, bigly and bigger body. Monster push throughout. Good luck. Now or in the next decade yields a great drinking experience. 5.29.24. — 2 years ago

From an area of sand and rock dunes betwixt sea and vineyards, WOW, it smells like kelp (in a great way) but also dried fruit and rosemary. Juicy with a super dry finish. Prunes and chocolate waltz through. I adore. — 2 years ago

Goth in pink. Or at least goth because Poe. It’s a deeper more real-ripe citrus and flower forward on a seashell wine. With some sel n chalk. I like it. I want to drink more Poe because they (or what I’ve tasted anyway) are balanced and somewhere betwixt two worlds. Like me right now? — 7 years ago

Chewy, waxy, orange peel, almond. Quite a complex wine showcasing a melange of flavors and textures. Just tastes like "terroir." — 10 years ago
