L'Apres-Midi Knights Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Solid SB. More round with the oak influence that took away the brightness I would look for in a SB. I guess I’m not really into BDX white blends. — 7 days ago

Peter Michael Sauvignon Blanc L'Apres-Midi 2019

A blend of 90% Sauv Blanc and 10% Semillon. Pale yellow color with aromas of citrus, floral, wet stone and tropical fruit. On the palate rich fruits of mango and peach flavors with citrus zest and earthy mineral notes on a balanced structure with lively fresh acidity. Long finish, pleasant ending with pronounced mineral character. Leave this in the cellar for a few years. Nice. Tasting Sample. — 10 months ago

This '81 was amazing, and showed many facets through the evening.
The Préfert was really wonderful, the first time drinking Isabel's wines, delicious.

I fondly remember this wine. Had a couple of bottles in my dad’s cellar in the late 80’s. Some field mice got in and gnawed the top of the capsules off only two bottles in the cellar: both of the ‘81 Beaucastels! They knew. (They left the corks intact and the bottles were stellar.)

Mauvais Temps de l'Aveyron Red Blend

Liked this a lot! Unclear what grapes but it had a smoky - peppery vibe, like petit Syrah. Super light and easy to drink too and paired well with a pork pasta and dry aged steak at Russ and daughters for Christy’s Bach. $100 at the resto — 9 months ago
