Polar Monkeys

Vasse Felix

Heytesbury Margaret River Chardonnay 2018

Polar opposite to big Kev, lean lady with some saline words. Not a great match with San Choy Bow but a great match to my advent Chardonnay wine fridge calendar. — 4 months ago

Zero Chilion Fox Hill Vineyard Cortese

2nd wine from Evan Lewendowski we have enjoyed, just as great as the first. Had for Alanna’s birthday at Bar Mezzana, so happy they had this wine!! Incredible contrast from Idlewild Cortese. Same grapes, same vineyard, polar opposite wines. — 5 years ago

Domaine Léon Barral

Faugères Carignan Blend 2005

Tis the season for soul warming Languedoc reds. This was the basic faugeres, carignane/Grenache/cinsault blend. Soft and mellow, black cherry fruit has maybe dried out a little, slightly brown even, but still there, plus olives, herbs, some subtle brett. Is it more fun than a Barral of monkeys? Not quite but a nice drink — 3 years ago

Valpolicella Superiore Corvina Blend 2006

Perfect and well balanced. And enough alcohol to take the sting out of the polar vortex and warm the bones. — 5 years ago

Château Rayas

Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend 2009

Needs few comments. Seems like a lot of alcohol but not distracting, wild black berries , quite a masculine rayas. Years left in it. My favorite CDP together with bonneau’s reserve des celestins (the polar opposite) — 3 years ago

Ridge Vineyards

Buchignani Ranch Zinfandel Blend 2012

Hitting its stride. Extroverted nose. Roasted meat, coffee bean, brambly blackberry, dry gravel. Savory and with nice acidity, this is the polar opposite of a jammy Zin. Intense, iodine laced Zinny flavors. Great wine. — 4 years ago
