Fickle Mistress

Domaine Carneros (Taittinger)

Brut Rosé Blend

Just tasted new batch! Pompadour Brut Rosé celebrates the life and times of Madame de Pompadour (mistress of Louis XV) credited with introducing Champagne to the court. Blend of 58% Pinot Noir, 42% Chard, aromas of floral strawberry scents with yeasty notes on fine mousse and bubble flow. On the palate flavors of raspberry and strawberry with vanilla yeasty tones. Well balanced, long ending in true brut style, dry with yeasty mineral character. A joy to drink. Tasting Sample! — 2 years ago

Gavi Cortese

Gavi is a great example of how fickle Wine trends are. In my lifetime, the perception of Gavi followed the character arc of Regina George from “Mean Girls”. #spoileralert Gavi has always been good! — 6 years ago

Les Combottes Cuvée Unique Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2013

Well damn isn’t this drinking pretty??? August 2021 and I’m glad it’s ready when I am.

Some beautiful and sexy mistress perfumed funk. Dried spices and dried flowers. Nice earthy vibes too. Honestly, this one could go down as an all-time memory. Don’t tell my wife!

Château Beauchêne

Côtes du Rhône Viognier 2018

Viognier, harvested as it’s barely ripe and still pear-like. Excellent acidity and zip...features sorely lacking in many tired, hot and treacly southern Rhône bottlings based on this fickle grape. Ridiculous quality for the price. — 4 years ago

Domaine de Trévallon

Alpilles Cabernet Syrah 2013

We loved this wine. Opened it and the St Patrice Chat du Pape as an experiment. Had FFT porterhouse one night and homemade pizzas the second. Best description - St Patrice is your wife, comfortable and loving and smooth, and Trevallon is your mistress, sexy and edgy and delicious. — 4 years ago
