Easy drinking French white wine. Crisp, but not overly dry. — 5 years ago
Aromas and palate: strawberry, raspberry, earthy tones. Bit of smokiness as well. Needs to open up for an hour or so. For ~$20 - good value French Pinot, recommend — 5 years ago

Yum. Jolly rancher, rocks, acid party. Delish. Gamay, not white. — 6 years ago
Alsatian Pinots seem to fill a big niche for me- well priced (this was around 18$), enough character & layers to make them QPR. With air this fills out nicely & rounds out some of its inherent tartness. Small wild raspberries & strawberries, fine tannins, smooth mouthfeel. — 3 years ago
Funky in a great way. Lots of flavor and pairs excellent with good cheese and meats. — 4 years ago
Wine 11/12 (Pinot Noir / Gamay)
Nose has dried strawberry, cold watermelon, wet raspberries and minor green herbs, quite delicate yet powerful.
Palate has dried strawberry, juicy peach, sandstone with medium-light acidity and medium finish. Really a great wine, so light yet quite finessed.
My first Côtes de Toul, will not be my last!
Once again it is notable that I have made one full trip around the Sun earlier this week. We had our small, social bubble team to the house for celebrating my getting older and somewhat less flexible in advancing age...Whatever will be done when I creast 50? Well, at least it's several years until needing manage that concern.
We enjoyed well-salted Ribeyes (Kinderhook Farm - Valatie, NY, prepared 48h in advance), turning to a beautiful medium-rare after a mere 12m of grill time and smashed, small red potatoes with capers (yeah try it, don't judge me yet). None of the bottles were particularly planned as 'steak wines'; we didn't care as it really was a wine nerd-fest of grapes/regions, from Burgenland, Austria to Brittany, France. Wine and food were on individual plateaux today. This was the vom Boden Spring Experience case, expertly curated by Stephen Bitterolf, and well received by our tasting crew. — 5 years ago

Every time i have a sparkling gamay i tell myself i need more sparkling gamay. This is such a tasty sipper, so hard to put down! Dry and acidic with mouthwatering raspberries and watermelon. The bottle is almost gone!
Extra points on this for being inexpensive. — a year ago
