Wine #1 from Tito and Pep. Ordered a different txakoli but got this instead (and for the best). Grapefruit, sea spray. Better than prior vintages. A classic. — 4 years ago

LC17 consistently shows incredible verve and a multidimensional and layered expression of its rich red berry fruit, blood orange, chalky minerality and sea spray salinity which lead to its long and exhilarating finale. Can’t get enough 👏🏻✨🥂 — 5 years ago

Very pretty aromas. Quince, white flowers, lemon, gooseberries, a hint of lactic richness, also with salt spray nose. Chablisien. But the volume on the palate is more villages than GC. Not getting Cali terroir so much as old world *stylings* ie grapes picked way early. Normally I’m in line with AG but can’t get behind the score here. — 5 years ago

Stunning. Dauvissat perfection. 2012 Clos is perfect tonight, with more fruit definition than Preuses as expected from the site. It’s textural, chiseled and powerful with Chablisen oyster shell minerality layered in a tidal wave of spiced orchard fruit and white flowers. It’s incredibly silky on the palate showing killer volume and density with racy citrusy acids and a sea spray-like salinity to round it out. When Dauvissat is on it’s hard to beat. And this is still young. — 4 months ago

My go to White Burgundy Bourgogne producer in good vintages. You get good value in what is today an expensive burgundy market. 22 an outstanding vintage. I buy this without thinking in good vintages and have never been disappointed.

High viscosity, paraffin, tropical, stone fruits, lemon, lime, great chalkiness, limestone, white spice, sea spray, spring flowers, yellow lilies, excellent round acidity and elegant, polish & balance finish for days.

Excellent pair w/ the Jasper Hill Farms Harbison cheese. — a year ago

BTW, home grown tomatoes with Companion Bakery wheat sourdough, lightly toasted w/ olive oil, burrata, Tondo balsamic (stunning), olive oil & fresh basil never gets old. — 3 years ago

This was our white wine selection for dinner at Corvino Supper Club. Popped and poured, no formal notes due to the setting but I recall the distinct kiwi fruit note with some melon and lemon. The wine was like an ocean breeze. Zippy with an abundance of minerals. Killer with the seafood on the table and paired well with everything at the table. — 5 years ago

Dairyman Vineyard sits in the southern alluvial plains of the Russian River Valley near the ocean, a region where cooling fog comes in through the Petaluma Gap in the morning and once again in the evening. Medium Ruby color, with aromas of berries, tea and spices. On the palate flavors of raspberry and tart black cherry with herb, cedar and cinnamon. Fine tannins, medium+ finish with lively acidity, good structure, ending with fruit and cedar spice. — 6 months ago

The Txakoli that put Txakoli on the map! Tart pomegranate and grapefruit. Effervescence and salinity that feel like sea spray. A little less nuanced than prior vintages. Perfect with salmon bowls. — 4 years ago

At 6 years young, Dauvissat’s 2015 Preuses is rich and powerful and quick to express its layered core of ripe stone fruits, citrus oils, a crushed oyster shell minerality, damp algae and a sea spray salinity.

It expands on the palate over time, lengthening and intensifying. What’s really impressive in the context of the vintage is the wine’s focus and precision. Its richness and ripeness is really well tamed and its fruit expression is so pure. It’s surely to gain more weight and complexity as it ages, but with sufficient air it’s absolutely a joy to drink now. — 5 years ago

Raveneau brunch! Super fresh and energetic showing complex tertiary character and yellow orchard fruit that’s backed by a savory sea spray salinity and piercing ‘96 lemony acid. Continued to build and gain weight and density with air. Last sips were the best! — 5 years ago
