Kinheimer Rosenberg Kabinett Riesling

Found this winery in a small German town in the Mosel valley. Knocking on the door, we met the two +90yr old men, owners who showed us around and invited us for drinks. On the wall there were pictures of both of them from the war 😬😳. In the cellar we tasted many different reislings which were all completely stellar. All amazing and may be peaking now, after 7yrs cellaring. Notes of honey pineapple, lime petroleum baked apple & minerals. Great silky mouth feel. 4€ !!!!?! — 5 years ago

Domaine Leflaive

Les Pucelles Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 1995

Medium gold in color but has a youthful appearance and scent. Notes of ripe apricot, pineapple, lemon curd, some spice and a little wet river stone. Beautiful fruit and acidity as the juice coats the mouth. With a few hours of air this gets more tropical in style. In a good drinking window, and I don’t think it will get any better with more age. — 5 years ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1990

Nice regal gold hue. Amazing pit fruit and wet stone nose. Plus notes of apricot, white clay soil, salty ocean breeze and some Raveneau honey on the finish. Rich and powerful in the mouth. Coats the palate with lots of fruit and fine grained acidity. I’ve had this a few times and this was at its best. Great Raveneau at age 30 is an amazing treat. — 6 years ago

Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2017

Aromas of buttered popcorn that blew off to butter, citrus and white flowers. Viscous wine that coats the mouth, but not in an unpleasant way. Bright key lime and other citrus with fresh mineral crispness. Definitely some oak influence, but not the primary like with a chard — 7 years ago

Louis Roederer

Cristal Brut Champagne 2002

Pale light yellow gold. Lively constant tiny bubbles. Deep round nose with high pitched fruit. Notes of pear, grapefruit, chalk and limestone. With more air you find some citrus and honeysuckle. Chewy in the mouth with great mouthfeel. Coats the entire mouth. Long finish lingers a minute or more. Velvet. Killer juice. Was inspired to open one of these after seeing a friend’s TN this weekend. Glad I did. — 8 years ago

Columbia Valley Riesling 2022

Sweet, light acidic, green apple. Nice but has a slight burn in the aftertaste. Coats the tongue. — 2 years ago

Teutonic Wine Company

David Hill Vineyard Silvaner 2019

My first “Sylvaner” (someone spelled it wrong here), and man, did it shine across some home made coconut curry! Notes of crisp apple comes bold through the palate, with cinnamon notes hidden in the back, and a nice minerality dancing in the background. The body was surprisingly full, and it coats the palate just right for a meal with little to Bon-noticeable acidity. If you find a Sylvaner, buy it, save it a bit, then drink it. — 4 years ago

@Brad Jensen Silvaner from Germany (and Alsace) are mostly small producers that have very sparse distribution in the US. Best bet would be to ask for recs at a good local wine store.
The ones I have had recently have been from Peter Leipold(really good) and a riesling-silvaner blend from Emrich-Schonleber. Good producers include hard to find names like Theo Luckert, Paul Weltner.
Alsace producers include a little more common names like: Weinbach and Boxler.
Sorry, not a very helpful answer. But the gems can be rewarding when you find them

Domaine Roulot

Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2018

Lemon, green apple, nutty, and floral notes with lots of minerality. Almost salty. Medium body but with an oily texture that coats your tongue, balanced with focused acidity. Roulot never disappoints. Purchased at Popina in Brooklyn, NY. — 5 years ago

Sounds like Arsenal in English. So glad I found this brewery. Has an amazing floral fragrance of mint and melon. Medium body and coats your tongue with sweetness and great with the Kumamoto strawberries — 7 years ago

Domaine Gérard Thomas

Les Chenevottes Chassagne - Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2015

Ringing in 2019 with steak and lobster tonight. Our first wine is a slight departure from the types of wines we normally drink. This Chassagne-Montrachet has a very nice nose with notes of lemongrass, pears and fresh made bread. Wonderful acidity coats your mouth to bring on lots of citrus and melon flavors. A very crisp and clean wine that I really like. — 7 years ago

Château de Pibarnon (Comte de Saint Victor)

Bandol Bourboulenc Blend 2019

Nose is delicate. Not much chatter. White flowers, thorny pale rose petals, peach.

The beauty is in the texture. Absolutely let this thing get to room temp. Cooks down like thick stock. Firms up. Coats the throat like cough syrup. Waxy, acidic, powerful.

Flavors are concentrated versions of the aromas - peach and apples plus hints of almond and white flowers.

Domaine Hervé Azo

Vau de Vey Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2019

The differences between good and very good Chablis lie in the nuances. In this Premiere Cru from Herve Azo, we get lots to drool over - transitions from smell into texture into flavor. Crisp, clean, flinty yeasty lemons triple lutz into fully lush lemon cream. Coats the tongue like robes of sweet tropical fruit fondit.

And all this for about $30

Domaine Louis Michel

Forêts Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay

Excellent Chablis - classic oyster shell and minerality in a slightly oily texture that coats the mouth as you enjoy an array of primary fruits - lemon peel, apple, pear, peach pith, along with floral notes of orange blossom and white flower. This is all cut perfectly by high acidity that carries the flavors in a long and lively finish. — 5 years ago

Senses Wines

Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2018

California all the way but so well balanced! Hits you in the nose with aromas of butter, lemon, ripe apples, ripe white peach, vanilla, spice, nutmeg, and pecans.
Full body, high acidity, well balanced even with strong spice characteristics. Ripe golden apples, apple pie filling, peach, spice, clove, and anise. Coats the mouth well and leads to a medium plus finish.

Pierre Morey

Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 1985

M’s bday dinner (4/12). Tasted blind. Medium gold color, heavy in the glass like motor oil. Has the killer old white burg funk in the nose. Notes of ripe citrus, spice, apricot, wet stones, some honey and a hint of iodine. Oily, coats the mouth with impactful acidity that lingers. Guessed 86 Montrachet. We’ve been luck to have this several times in the past few years and the perfect one owner cold storage provenance of the lot continues to deliver. — 7 years ago

Hennessy

Paradis Imperial Cognac Ugni Blanc

Started off NYE with this gem made from a blend of eau de vies, some dating back to the 1880’s. Only 10 barrels out of 10,000 get selected for this bottling. The quality is obvious. This was just busting at the seams with character. First off, you don’t want to stop smelling it. It’s nearly intoxicating in its sexiness. But the best was yet to come. The way this hits the palate is unlike any other brandy I have ever encountered. The attack was bright and almost white wine-like giving this some lift, it’s just something that I’ve never experienced in a brandy before. From there, it coats the mouth with luxurious candied nuts, vanilla, and baking spices. The finish is mind blowing. Not only is it impossibly long, the delivery is as smooth as any spirit I have ever tasted. No heat what so ever. Way too easy to drink. Worth the price? That’s really hard to say but it has certainly spoiled me. A new benchmark for sure. — 7 years ago
