Château Mouton Rothschild

Le Petit Mouton Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

Pouring by the glass at an epic meal at Clover Hill. Big bombast of a wine - fruit bomb … and then … fabulous complexity. — 5 months ago

Clover Hill

Tasmanian Cuvée Rosé Blend

Popped and poured. The Clover Hill Rosé pours a pale salmon color that’s hardly discernible as rosé at first though, it does seem to deepen a bit with air. White peach, raspberries, pink lady apples, and minerals. The wine is round but attractive and there’s ample acid to provide balance. Paired very well with homemade chicken noodle soup. — 3 years ago

Moscato d'Asti

Pale gold with tiny persistent bubbles. Inviting nose and palate of ripe golden apples, ripe peaches, and clover honey. Light and fizzy on the tongue. Sweet (of course) but balanced with refreshing acidity. Short-ish finish, but you’re likely taking another sip before that matters. The gold standard for Moscato. A lovely treat on its own, with fresh fruit, or with lightly sweet dessert crepes. Also a great pair with the exceptionally spicy dishes that my dining partner likes to make (remember, “Sweet beats heat!”). Stop fronting. You know that you like this stuff. Drink now. — 5 years ago

Château Grand Corbin Manuel

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

This might be the best Bordeaux blend I’ve had - just wow. Smooth, supple & just the right amount of terroir in that finish that makes this an incredible glass. Mature red fruit, earth and a little clover like spice make rounds out a sip. Pair with a meal or cheese as this finishes dry, but wants you leaving more. — 2 years ago

Cantina Progettidivini

Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Glera

One of my favorite sparkling wines, dry, pears, flowery scent, petunias, clover, slight hint of artichoke at the end. — 4 years ago

Weingut Knebel

Röttgen Riesling 2011

Fantastic. Clover, honey, chamomile on the nose, dry — alcohol is a little sharp, and the acid is chilled out. But lovely drinking. — 5 years ago

Colene Clemens Vineyards

Margo Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir 2021

2021 vintage open November 2023.  Clover and pears on the nose. Light red fruit on the front—but then a brief hint of lychee fruit appears as the wine moves from the tip of the tongue to the mid palate. I don’t particularly like syrupy fruit tastes in my wine, but its flinty high notes quickly to drown out that almost subliminal episode of cloying sweetness. It transition into a finish that yields a soft landing. The tannic structure is not particularly complex, so I don’t expect this wine to evolve much in the bottle. This is one of those  ultra lush Oregon Pinot’s. If  the ascetic Sonoma coast pinots or the more tannic Burgundy Pinot‘s are to your taste then this wine is probably not for you, but I found it to be a pleasant but unchallenging tipple. — a year ago

Longuicher Maximiner Herrenberg Spatlese Riesling 2004

9.3

As a friend accurately noted: color of dehydrated urine sample, but man did it smell & taste great! These are amongst the oldest vines in Mosel and it showed: stunning depth & complexity here ranging from a parade of yellow fruit: mandarin orange, cling peaches, apricot, quince all drenched in clover honey to slat-y minerals, allspice, cinnamon, grandma’s dusty attic and basement cellar & marzipan. No petrol here, just a hedonistic journey. Silky & sexy, round, still w/acidic zip and a long luscious finish. — 4 years ago

Brasserie Dupont

Vieille Provision Saison Dupont Belgian Farmhouse Ale

Active peach-gold and inscrutably, near opaque, with an arrogantly vaulted, whited foam tower, unblemished by human tears; clinging lacing like dish soap suds, tear raggedly to silhouettes of prehistoric headbutts. Soapy breastmilk and citrus rising on yeast, grapefruit pith peeled thinly, clover rolls just browning, and leather fringes. Lively mouthfeel as expected. Lime pith and grapefruit with papery ginger slices, orange zest, magnolia, carrot bread, straw, zucchini spirals, ginseng, and banana peel. Complex rusticity. .
