Yummy. Grippy enough to complement our turkey soup. — 4 years ago

Clos Saron

Stone Soup Syrah 2015

Purity purity purity. Farming and winemaking so deep in the soul of the earth you can feel and sense it at every turn. Every drop of this wine is blood sweat and tears. Not many can achieve such AND it’s delicious and not at all big or overripe. Well done. — 6 years ago

First course, Cauliflower Puree, Torn Bread, Olive Oil Perfect! @PlateandBottle This is such a Burgundian steal. Thick & creamy to match the soup. Lots of time on lees. Lemon, honeysuckle, green apple, lime, grapefruit pith, butterscotch, butter but not buttery and smooth as velvety silk. This is their best since their 2010. I can’t say enough good things about what this producer achieves from this terroir. — 8 years ago

It was. Our friend Hedy, if she wanted to open her own restaurant would get at least Michelin Star. Amazing Chef! We are always honored we get to attend her dinners.

That is awesome! I used to cook like that for party’s. So much work. I’d rather enjoy the wine. 😄🍷. But dinners like that are so much fun. Especially when the wine is perfect with it.

Les Borniques Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012

Classic chambolle. Elegance is the word! Complex and clean nose with red currant, cherry, roses and primordial earthiness. On the palate, seductive elegance with a silky texture and feather like mouthfeel and outstanding linearity. It slowly peels away the complexity with layers of red fruits, roses and the classic limestone undertones. Borniques is biodynamically farmed with winemaking synched with lunar cycles on a small parcel of 1.4 ha situated right above the famous ‘Les Amoureuses’ with vines planted almost on the rock. It explains the very linear structure. The tannins, acidity and alcohol were in brilliant harmony with a finish where the dance continues for well over 2 mins. I loved this and it reminded me why Chambolle-Musigny is one of my absolute favorite villages in Burgundy. — 5 years ago

What a showing. Honeyed apricots. Tangelo. Wow what fruit. Fruit soup. Slate. Stunning. So ebullient and expressive. Herbs and minerals. Just so in the zone. Palate is juicy and elegant. So pure. Citrus and peaches. Amazing freshness and finesse. Stunning length. Awful day and MM to the rescue. — 4 years ago
