My wife hates a Chardonnay so I rarely get to have them anymore out for dinner. I drank this with a plate of baked penne and it was quite good. None of the mega oak flavours I worry about and much more acidic than I thought. Still don’t think it would work for my wife but for me was a delightful wine! That being said I think it’s probably 2x more expensive than its worth so it’s likely my last bottle. Bought from Corney and Barrow in London. — 4 years ago

Weston hosted Friday group today and was it definitely a can’t miss tasting. Wow! Absolutely knocked it out of the park with heavy hitter after heavy hitter. Similar to Wednesday group, all wines are tasted blind.

At 39yrs old, strutting just fine. Didn’t have the smooth honeyed finish of Sauternes and based on the color, I was unsure if it was port or not (guessed 30+ yr tawny port). Cherry liqueur, toffee, and almond. — 6 years ago

Honey, oranges, mangoes, peaches. All the tropicals.

Ah man, Bloomer Creek just makes me happy. Every time I see their bottles at a retailer, I pretty much have to cop it. Today it was from Frankly Wines in TriBeCa.

Great selection and knowledge at this shop.

A little character in this one, reminding me a bit of an orange wine. Dry and got a nice minerality, but also a honeycomb sweetness and finally a bit of a zing (kind of like the herby citrusy crossover that pine needles have). I went on a guided hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Biologist guide pointed out all the things we could eat in the forest. And we did. No one got sick. My dad told long, unnecessary stories to the other troop members. Ah, simpler times.

This is a glass where you close your eyes, everything else melts away, and you enjoy the simplicity, the balance, the crisp sips. — 3 years ago
