A very fruit forward Tinta de Toro (or Tempranillo) with ripe and dense dark fruits and tannic finish. — 9 months ago
This is a notably vibrant style of Muscadet with crisp acidity, loads of lemon, green apple, pear and melon. Despite being sur lie the wine has a very clean, lean feeling on the palate. Great with scallops — 3 years ago
Mineral driven, oyster shell, tart apple, soft finish. Pretty lively on day 1, lost a step the next night. — 3 months ago

Domaine Jo Pithon, Savennières 2021 chenin blanc
I love chenin and more specifically from Savennières... Honey, green apple and chalk on the nose. Very fresh and acid driven palate, some width, some nice mouthfeel with almost a grain, a long fresh apple-y finish that goes on for ever. What's not to like here? — a year ago
Asian pear, blended citrus and hints of ginger on the nose that become intensified on the palate with the addition of bruised apple and a slightly oxidative undertone. Toasty with a whisp of maritime influence. Jo does sparkling beautifully. GR8 value. — 4 years ago
The perfect combination! — 4 months ago
Chardonesk-like varietal native to The Northewestern Iberian peninsula… Pale lemon on the eye with aromas of green pear, smith granny apple, but also hints of white flowers and rosemary. The palate is very similar to a high quality White Burgundy: medium body, medium alcohol, silky, creamy, with refreshing citrus like acidity and a lingering oaky-smoky-vanillish finish… Over the top for my expectations and budget. Cheers! — 6 months ago
A ton of minerality on this one. Sea spray, quartz, lemon, yellow pear, white peach, creamy but with good acidity. Wound pair great with oysters but also dishes with a light cream sauce. — 3 years ago

Ahhhhh. 21 N Rhône. I will drink 12.5% Syrah all day. Glorious. Needed an hour in the decanter and then it slayed. Meaty, floral, and so so fresh. — 2 months ago
