Marie Lapierre et Jean Claude Chanudet

Cambon Nouveau Gamay 2021

Early gamay, Lapierre style. The dress is superb on translucent raspberry notes. Fresh nose and mouth, fruity at 110% with this very specific aerial concentration of carbonic maceration that brings a floral exuberance to the nose without tannins. Blindly, we would be very annoyed to say with certainty that it is a red wine, as the cursor is placed on other landmarks than tannins. This does not prevent a certain matter that gives chewing. Serve refreshed and airy. Very nice treat. Note revised upwards: open on Mondays, tasted on Fridays, the wine has held up admirably, keeping its greed and gaining in breadth. A sign that says a lot about the authenticity of production.

Gamay primeur esprit Lapierre. La robe est superbe sur des notes framboises translucide. Nez et bouche fraîche, fruité à 110% avec cette concentration aérienne toute spécifique de la macération carbonique qui apporte une de une exubérance florale au nez sans les tanins. A l’aveugle on serait bien embêté pour affirmer de manière certaine qu’il s’agit d’un vin rouge, tant le curseur est placé sur d’autres repères que les tanins. Cela n’empêche pas une certaine matière qui donne à mâcher. A servir rafraîchi et aéré. Très belle gourmandise. Note revue à la hausse: ouvert le lundi, regoûté le vendredi, le vin a admirablement tenu, gardant sa gourmandise et gagnant en ampleur. Un signe qui en dit long sur l’authenticité de la production.

Val de Mer Non Dosé Brut White Blend

Aloha Champagne Fridays (this is the inaugural occasion). This is superb for around $20. The label lets your know this is dry all the way. 100% Chardonnay. Yellow apples and light caramel notes. Friends who take my reviews seriously (should proceed with caution) might prefer the Grüner Brut (Szigeti from Austria) from a little while back at this price point. But this is darn good. — 6 years ago

But how are the Jack in the Box fries? Thinking of starting a fry app. But seriously are they good?

I’m rolling with the punches after our weekly “no drink” fasting. Fridays take on a whole new meaning as a result.
Well balanced, lifted and a pure express of the varietal. Oak treatment is in the foreground, acidity is a little dumb, while hazelnuts and marzipan complete what is a tour de force.

Happy Memorial Day to you! May your weekend be filled with yard work after being gone so long, and great wines. (I'll get to this one soon, promise.)

Detert Family Vineyards

Oakville Cabernet Franc 2012

Fridays are for Franc! And I. LOVE. THIS. WINE. I could not believe the aromatics that exploded from the bottle when I pulled the cork. Seriously it was like there was a blueberry pie baking in the kitchen. Decanted for an hour or so. Deep magenta in the glass. Loads of Cherry and blueberry on the palate mingle with vanilla, chocolate, herbs, and earth - very rich, but so incredibly balanced at the same time. I’ve been a longtime fan of Detert wines and this very well may be my favorite vintage of their Franc to date. I’m just wowed. Can’t wait to revisit this again and see how it evolves. Really well done @Tom Garrett (as always). — 6 years ago
