I feel these are a bit overrated particularly at this price point. — 4 months ago
Usually a good one… maybe have to let it sit for a bit.
@Neil Valenzuela that’s a fair statement - vintage quite young. I’ll try an older one and reassess!
Kongsgaard
Napa Valley Chardonnay 2019
By far the best Kongsgaard Chard I’ve had (and I’ve had a lot) with an unexpected brightness and acidity. — 2 months ago
@Mike Evans I have not had one in a very long time Oak toned down?
@Ira Schwartz The oak wasn’t too prominent, which was surprising since I’ve historically found Kongsgaard Chards to be too heavy and oaky for my taste. This one was much more balanced with good acidity, really enjoyable. I don’t know if it is a change in style or an outlier but I hope for the latter since I have friends on the list who subject me to Kongsgaard from time to time.
Dom Pérignon
Brut Champagne Blend 2013
Amazing what a good champagne can taste like at 11 years. Completely fresh and crisp with just a slight softness. Delicious! As far as value, let’s not go there. — 6 months ago

Bella Union Winery
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
From the Far Niente folks. Ripe, fruit forward Napa but it’s got enough lift and purity. Not really what I drink but I had no problem smashing a glass of this with my steak frites at lunch. — 6 months ago
