Les Ribaudes Saint-Joseph Syrah 2022

Earthy and floral on the nose, earthy notes follow on the palate. Fruit is present but takes a back seat, has a savory finish with soft, somewhat chalky tannins — 13 days ago

Bulles de Comptoir #4 Vinorama Champagne Blend

11 years in. Still bursting from the bottle. Incredible stuff. This has everything. “Natural” putting all the bullshit coming forth from the “natural” movement to rest - finally. Complete steal. — 22 days ago

Domaine Faury

Lionel Faury Condrieu Viognier 2019

Starts out super aromatic, over the top intensity of stone fruit, white flowers, marble, just a touch of vanilla in the background. On the palate viscosity strikes first, with fruit stepping back, some phenolics bitterness and a mouth-coating finish — 3 years ago

Coeur de Malbec 2020

Dark ruby color with purple highlights and a slight garnet rim. Savory aromas of wet earth, ripe black fruit and coffee. Ripe blackberry, black currant and blueberry lead the palate with additional hints of espresso, charcoal and Asian spices. Long and very earthy finish. Extremely concentrated, vibrant and well balanced. Settling in to its “sweet spot.” — a month ago

Cupano

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

A difficult vintage. Made by a master. Rest In Peace Lionel.

Nose is swirling cherry and cherry licorice.

Palate is red and bLack cherries. Cherry cough syrup some bitterness

This peaked 7 years ago but still a lovely drink.

Bulles de Comptoir Extra Brut #7 Champagne Blend

One of the most uniques champagnes I’ve ever had. Baked cinnamon apple pie comes to mind when tasting. Highly recommended. — 4 years ago
