Redemption

David Duband

Côtes de Nuits-Village Pinot Noir 2017

Gift card redemption on a rare Sunday evening out. Reasonably priced tasting menu and wine list — and all was delightful. All courses were quite nice, especially the ochazuke and “forest floor” dessert. The wine: light, flavorful, and very easy to drink. Would buy. — a year ago

So my second favorite pastime, tasting wine being my favorite of course, is bottle hunting (it’s so relaxing and full of surprises). Anyhow, a few months ago during one of those bottle hunting adventures I found this bottle in a tiny liquor store at a massive shopping center and snatched it for less than the hourly minimum wage, it had probably been sitting there for six years. After a careful decanting this is tasting pretty well. Now, I’ve had my fair share of bad bottles with this approach; but with this bottle I finally get: redemption! Some of my friends on this platform will understand my joy. — 4 years ago

Le Mont Benoit Extra Brut Pinot Meunier Blend 2018

A worthy redemption to my abysmal wine run in 2023! LC18. So delicious. Once more, I reckon WK nailed the tasting notes here, “Offering up inviting aromas of crisp orchard fruit, blanched almonds, honeycomb, walnuts and fenugreek, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and precise, with a fine-boned but intensely flavored profile, complemented by a beautiful pinpoint mousse. Brochet is the master of intensity without weight, and this wine exemplifies that.” Awe-inspiring salinity too if I had to add anything to WK’s notes. Super wine! — a year ago

These are really good. After the last 3-years, I gave up my allocation to a buddy. At $330/bottle all in, it adds up quickly.

@Dawn E. Sorry to hear of your loss. It's hard losing a pet. Good advice to take a break but get another pet when the time is right. 💚
