Christina Zweigelt 2022

Light ruby/purple color. Aromas of ripe red cherries and red berries along with red flowers. Juicy red cherry flavors with slight touches of bramble and minerals. Lively and crisp finish. Soft tannins. No sign of oak. Sensing carbonic maceration as this wine reminds me of a young Beaujolais. Quite fresh and bright. Named for the winemaker. Can handle a chill. Refreshing. — 4 months ago

Chateau Christina

Michael Vineyard Merlot 2005

Sublime. I’m biased but it is probably the best example of merlot on the central coast. Tiny yield from a small vineyard planted on steep grade. Cherries, dark chocolate and muted green herbal pepper notes. Alleged Petrus clonal material, the result is world class and is hard to outshine domestically. — 4 years ago

Christina St. Laurent 2021

Powerful aromas, ripe black fruits. Light and fruity in the palate with a surprise smokiness. Some of the natural wine comes through on the nose and palate, but not overpowering. Very drinkable! Perfect pairing with our Christmas Eve Austrian Dinner! — 6 months ago

Nice with our cheeses. One, (Four Fowl) sent from our friend @Severn Goodwin. Really excellent.

Happy Holidays! 🎄🎁🎅⛄️❄️🌟

The Gosset was opened by our friend Christina. This has seen air through oak & leans into an oxidative style which, is good but, not my favorite.

Lots of bruised, golden & apple, bruised pear, touch of spoke cider, pineapple, ginger ale, strong, grey bulky minerals, bread dough, yeast, saline, sea fossils, chalky stones, some flint, limestone, white flowers, some yellow lilies & jasmine/spring flowers. The acidity is racy with a well balanced, smartly polished finish that is nicely persist.

Yum yum, St. Stephen from Four Fat Fowl. I thought we had a 1/2 wheel in the refrigerator still from a recent purchase, wanted to have some after work today, but alas we had finished it. Off to get some tomorrow. Glad you enjoyed.

Happy Birthday Christina. 🎂 🎉 🥳

I have been holding this bottle for her birthday for about 5 years since we had this vintage last. Worth the wait. So much more complex now.

The fruits are more subtle and the toasted mixed nut buffet has taken hold. Butterscotch hard candy. Round, creamy, subdued lemon & pineapple juice, hints of lime on the long set, Bosc pear, white peach, whipped cream, brioche, some bread dough, some of the most beautiful yeastiness, what amazing, soft chalkiness, sea spray, undertones of white spice, crushed/powdery limestone, fresh, blooming Spring flowers & yellow lilies, excellent, perfect, crisp acidity, layers and layers on the well; knitted, balanced, structured, brilliantly polished, elegant finish that lasts minutes.

I’ve had some nice champagne lately and this beats everything except 02 & 96 Krug.
