Storm Haven Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

We had an outstanding tasting at the winery's tasting bar in their air conditioned paradise of midsummer a month ago... Now back at home, we're getting a chance to taste these again... On the nose, this is dusty cherry... That's about it, but in a good way... On the palate, there's more... Big cherry to be sure... A wee blackberry tinge? Warm clay? Some acid here, but I keep coming back to clay, but maybe more as a visual... I don't get much if any green this vintage... The finish is medium-long and satisfying... Great pairing for our steak, chanterelles, and roast potatoes... — 2 years ago

Had with a very spicy chicken vindaloo on a very hot midsummer eve in Baltimore and it was perfect! Highly recommend as a fun and lightly bubbly match but great on its own too — 6 years ago

Wow. PNP and drinking beautifully. Bramble, rosehips, succulent midsummer plum. Hint of olive brine, iodine. Incredible minerality. Incisive. A bit of nuanced bitterness — 3 years ago

Reserve Brut Crémant de Bourgogne White Blend

A refreshing cremant, predominately apple and pear notes upfront that finishes with with hints of bread yeast and brioche. Very good value. Also a great ingredient for a midsummer spritz cocktail. — 6 years ago

Rachis Sauvignon Blanc 2016

@delectable This is a Texan, not a Californian; Texas High Plains AVA to be exact. I'm speechless after this effort... insane character and uniqueness. Has it's own definitive style without losing the soul of Sauvignon Blanc. This is straight up radiating with energy.

My girl wanted in on this review. She's got a way with words that is one in a million 😜 So, here is our combined effort:

"Now featuring: The Green Elixir. Wisps of kiwi swiftly enter the nasal passage on command. Over-ripened sweet cantaloupe charges through leaping over fresh Bosc pears. Similar to walking through a field of freshly cut grass on a midsummer Sunday morning. Upon walking through the renewed grass, you will come across loamy soil, enveloped with sandy silt. Dandelions magically pop up along the adventurous route dancing lazily in the breeze.

Taste consistently bathes, not lingers, but bathes on the palate. Anyone ever kiss a lime rind? Experience it now with The Green Elixir. Sour, yet makes you yearn for more. Granny Smith apples frolic throughout the tastebuds. Heading towards the end of our adventure, straw begins to make an appearance and wants to join in the fun. At the peak of the completion of our endeavor, a special herb comes out to play. Lemon Basil pleasantly surprises you to make sure your finale is more than grand.

*Medium-plus acidity and Medium-minus body

💚🍏🍐🍈🥝🌿🌳🥂"

Thörnicher Ritsch Auslese Riesling 1995

From a backwater in the mosel. A whole 6 miles from jj prum. One of the great vineyards in the mosel at half the price of prum. An insane wine. Needs an overnight open in the fridge to come alive.

Nose is perfect dried peaches. Some perfect. fresh peach. Some mosel age. Like a hint of petrol peach perfume. A touch of creaminess and confectionary sugar. Gorgeous. So elegant.

Palate is mineral. Dried peach extract. Perfect midsummer peach. Mineral spine. Elite deliciousness.

A week in you get that aged mosel toasty richness. Man. A unique experience.

Bought from fass selections.

Purchased at Trader Joe's. This is what we think of when we think of vouvray, and it's from the Loire Valley, even better. We have a soft spot for the Loire-- the midsummer rain, the wheat fields, the castles, the German tourists. Yum. — 9 years ago
