Velvet, smokey plummy just shy of sweet. Like Madeline Peyroux singing ‘You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go.’ — 6 years ago

This was a great and rich Chablis - more round and complex than crisp but refreshing all the same. Drank at cave Madeline in Beaune. — 9 years ago
Yummy and a bit complex and dry yet juicy, a nice surprise. Cherry. Decent length finish. Better as it opens up. From cafe Madeline. Would love to enjoy again — 4 years ago

Revisiting 2015 vintage. Pale yellow white, excellent clarity. Floral nose. Bone dry, floral, citrus and pear flavors, lean, good acidity and mouthfeel, some skin astringency and lactic character on finish. 35/24/18/14/5/4 blend of Siegerebe, Madeline Angevine, Madeline Sylvaner, Grüner Veltliner, Gewürtztraminer and Riesling. 270 cases. — 7 years ago
Huge grapefruit-tangerine tambourine clanging away at the intakes, with a sweet gasoline note pushed through pirouettes. Light vanilla, ginger, and lemon Madeline. Creamy mouthfeel, with lovely lime, grapefruit pudding, lemon peel, and cedar shavings. #peasantking #vermont #dipa #ipa #paleale #dankbeer — 8 years ago
Outstanding example of a Madeline Angevine. — 9 years ago
The most understated of wines the Beaujolais was very earthy while remaining light and flavorful. 2nd wine of night at cave Madeline in Beaune. — 9 years ago
So light like a rose. Tons of berries, watermelon, some acidity, maybe some lemon peel. Overall really nice for a hot day. — 5 years ago
Incredible white drank with Madeline and mia at blue ribbon on Sullivan — 5 years ago
There’s a lot going on with this wine. A yeasty nose, and a Puckett Granny Smith mid palette with a bit of a peppery gravel finish. Was a delight with roast chicken, sourdough, dandelion blue cheese salad: every bite revealed new character in the wine. Drank the 2015 in 2020. — 6 years ago
Bold, rounded wine

In honor of San Diego legend Tony Gwynn. We have not been blessed with many winning teams in this town and absolutely zero championships (I don't count the '63 AFL title) but #19 was truly something special. I'm not sure how he was/is viewed in other parts of the nation but to me he was the greatest pure hitter of his era. George Brett, Boggs, Mattingly, Puckett and Molitor all come to mind as non power guys that got way more pub than him but absolutely nobody was more reliably consistent from the mid 80's to mid 90's than T. Cheers 🍻 to him up in that big 5.5 hole in the sky. — 9 years ago

Suggested at Grand Cata on 11/29/2024 when I asked for Ribera sacra bzw. Galicia. $30. L noted Chambers had shipped same wine! Likely natural then, though lacking that liveliness. Drank 11/30/2024. Ash, bubble gum on nose. Puckett tannins will likely settle down with time and warmth. Black fruit, violets, gravel/slate. Long strong finish lingers. — 2 years ago
