Runner-up for Wine Of The Night but definitely the pleasant surprise of the night. Little funky nose and not particularly effervescent for a sparkler. Acidity is muted and feels like a “real wine” as opposed to those chemically enhanced science experiments that pass for luxury wine life in some quarters. Definitely would serve this to my most discerning guests like @Sam Shepard @Brendan Devine and if I could be so blessed, the GOATs of the wine world like @Ron R @Mike R @Willie Carter, a little something off the beaten path. — 2 years ago
At Jay and Deedee’s in Steamboat. I cannot name the tasting notes but everything I love in a Pinot. Hot damn. — a month ago
Powerful nose of dark fruits . Surprisingly it was not the palate that I was expecting given the vintage. While certainly not a shrinking violet the palate was concentrated but not ponderous . Flavors of black cherry, plums, spice and some oak notes. I was very pleased no alcohol heat. Definitely structure there but something tells me this will not be a long distance runner. — 2 years ago

Phenomenal organic Riesling with a perfect balance of fruitiness and acidity. Remarkably fresh. Will benefit from a few more years of ageing: a long distance runner (2017 Vintage tasted in May 2020) — 4 years ago
