Zinnkoepflé Alsace Grand Cru Gewürztraminer 2022

Bought in Colmar, Elsass. This was the best Gewuerz I ever had in the last 20 years. Super tropical and complex but also high acidity and some tartness. Unlike other vintages very little residual sugar left per analysis of the winery. This was so good that I am considering to go back next year and visit the winery - I ran out of time this time. Could not find a US importer. — 13 days ago

Alsace Pinot Noir 2019

Just a perfect accompaniment to simply roasted chicken. Soft nose has bright cherry/red berry fruitiness, and a soft, beet-like earthiness, along with subtle cracked stones. In the mouth it’s soft and nearing maturity, with soft but adequate acids and a decent amount of soft tannin. The flavors have nicely-concentrated soft cherry fruit, and some nice stony minerality. Nice length for a basic Alsace AOC wine. I like this a lot. — 6 months ago

Alsatian Pinot Noir has become a thing these past 10 years or so!!

@Doug Powers - Yes. Global warming has helped a few wines in some cooler areas, this being one (along with Pinot Noir in Germany, Sancerre, and the Finger Lakes). Not to mention Cab Franc in the Loire now not routinely tasting like machine oil!

Watched a video with Andrew Jefford who predicted Alsace would be new Burgundy in the next 10 years

Cascina Luisin

Léon Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Celebration wine (paid off the Tundra).... This is layered and evolving, with a nose of tobacco smoke, tar, black plum, cherry kirsch, dried violet and rose, bay leaf, sage, anise, and blackcherry. Round, sweeter dark berry and cherry fruit on the palate. Structure builds in mouthcoating tannin balanced by rich acidity. Spice box, leather and tar on the mid-palate. Acidity is still fresh, almost tart, and lifts a finish that is balanced and lingers for 60+ seconds. Underripe cherry and gravel. A touch of warmth speaks to the vintage and comune. This over-delivers at the price point with outstanding complexity, depth and length. Hold for 3-5 more years, then enjoy over an evening. — 7 years ago

Beyer Ranch California Zinfandel 2021

This is a delicious wine. It has strong fruit on the nose, like blackberries and cherries, with a bit of spice and oak. When you taste it, there’s a nice mix of jammy red and black fruits, and you can pick up some vanilla and chocolate too. The wine feels smooth with just the right amount of acidity. — 2 years ago

Perfect expression of the varietal, palate begins with honey, finishes long. Pithy tropical notes after a bit...needs to be cold. Stands up to a fatty steak and salty fare. — 7 years ago
