At Sama Sama in Santa Barbara. Excellent really! 50/50 blend in 2024 of Grüner and Riesling. Graham did a great job with this one. Galloni seems to consistently like this one as well. Floral and tropical. Just awesome with asian food. An artist at work. Herbaceous undertow, faint touch of pineapple, apple, 🍏, some lemon, tangerine oil. — 2 days ago

Another epic Engertstein. Awesome spice and richness but so elegant and my goodness that sweet spicy fruit. Long and fresh. Just an amazing wine and value. — a month ago

German Savagnjn. Let’s go! Nose has that wooly Savagnin thing but with crystalline clarity. Unreal wafting minerals. Some nougat and hints of caramel. So much aroma. Palate is dense and rich but also ephemeral and pointed. Structured to a T and this has a delicate tannic structure. Awesome purity, freshness and incredible depth and drinkability. As this airs the acidity comes into focus and it has wonderful grip and focus. — 2 years ago

My favorite Austrian producer for Riesling. Acid, acid and more acid. Very steely, crisp, wet rock, apricot, bone dry. — a day ago

Dry, tart, not as sweet as most Rieslings, improved when allowed to breathe, paired well with teriyaki Salmon. — 5 months ago

This lovely Siduri Pinot Noir is very dark-colored, big, rich, old vine mountain fruit (my recollection is that this is an old “head-pruned” Pinot vineyard, at elevation??), I can see criticism that it’s not really “Pinot Noir-like”, but like the older St. Innocent “Freedom Hill” Pinot Noirs, these wines last a long time, so even if it’s too “big”, it’s rich, intense and complex!! But, you wouldn’t ever guess, “blind”, that this was a red Burgundy. I happen to like it, as it seems youthful and fresh, with further aging potential. — 25 days ago

Such a great wine. Perfumed nose, spice, hay, skoche of dried honey, some potting soil, cardamom, white pepper, all so pretty and harmonious. Palate is super harmonious and very pure. Sappy and salty finish. Palate is all mineral and spice and maybe a hint of spiced apple on the finish. Lovely wine. Very juicy and spicey! — 3 years ago
