Coastview Vineyard Chardonnay 2016

Apple and pear on the nose and pallet also very minerally with a lil butter but not overdone as I hate butter bombs but a quality chardonnay here very drinkable — 4 months ago

M3 Vineyard Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2012

Mid lemon in colour - crystal clear. A funky leesy note amongst the grapefruit with a touch of honey. A powerful palate of great intensity. Flavours in the grapefruit spectrum Partial malo adds interest. Great balance between restraint and mouth filling flavours. Plenty of skilled winemaking on show here. — 4 years ago

@Scott Rowe I have some of your 2012 Shiraz in the cellar waiting for a few more years before pulling the cork. Will look forward to that.

Gabilan Mountains GSM 2017

Wow. Kind of shocked but maybe I shouldn’t be. Gabilan mountains east of Monterey. Rich but very much not ‘fruit forward California’. It’s all mineral length. Dark fruit. Medium body. Majority mourvedre. If you told me this was from Sicily I’d believe you. — 5 months ago

Stoneridge Vineyard Syrah 2016

Rich juice squeezed from the Royal Slope in Columbia Basin. A sweet edge upfront turned into an earthy, mineral plethora of flavors with very soft tannins fully integrated. Pleasant finish. I had to score it high because it vanished pretty much by it selves. Nice start to the Easter weekend that concluded a week with a kick in the rear from my second Covid shot that took a few days to shake off. — 3 years ago

@S.S. Mandani - I’m an equal opportunist when it comes to pizza. I love them all- Detroit, Chicago, NY and CA pizza. Cheers!
