La Grande Côte Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Old Sancerre, such a rarity, preserves that precision focused acidity and notes of dried lemon, dried pineapple and dried peach. Finish is refreshing. Wow. — a month ago

Talley Vineyards

Rosemary's Vineyard Pinot Noir

Always a favorite winery and wine. Even after 16.5 years, this bottle offered a beautiful compliment to sushi. The color and clarity held, as did the fruit, which softened and provided an enjoyable, velvety mouthfeel. A mid-week treat! — a month ago

Grande Réserve Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2019

A Sauvignon Blanc just the way i like it, beautifully matured, elegant fruit, voluminous, mouth-filling, yet mineral, with a long finish, i like it very much — 7 months ago

Grande Cuvée Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Loved this. With Jimmy and crew and ate some sautéed mushrooms (foraged by Nick) and sushi grade pickerel from Alex’s son’s store. Went beautifully. Nice citrus, hint of grapefruit, but not too sharp and no cats pee👍. — 4 years ago

Les Galets Arroyo Grande Valley Pinot Noir

Wonderfully perfumed and rich eight year-old Central Coast Pinot Noir, with fruit, acid, tannins and earth in harmonious balance. Got better as the night went on, and the leftover half bottle the next day was great—soft and approachable yet complex and delicious interesting. Rather Old World, I would say. Enjoyed the 2014 vintage with Livarot cheese and an artisanal country loaf. Magnifique! — 4 years ago
