Domaine de l'Ecu (Guy Bossard)

Expression d'Orthogneiss Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Melon de Bourgogne 2016

This has some real body and viscosity to it. Very toasty and umami on the nose, sake lees, lemon, fennel seed, kelp, salt, rocks. Not exactly textbook Muscadet for your typical oysters pairing but went great with sushi — 6 years ago

Getariako Txakolina Hondarrabi Zuri

always love txakolina. this one is super minerally, heavy dose of salt and brine, good bite of lime, and some pear to round it out. this is a really enjoyable, crisp bottle but is one touch too austere (dry + salty) for me. one extra bit of roundness and acid (if that makes any sense) to cut against the salt and this is a total home run but still very enjoyable. — 7 years ago

Marcassin

Marcassin Vineyard Chardonnay 2010

9.5

Wednesday Wine Committee hosted by Dan. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. Tasted blind as usual.

I guessed the producer was Marcassin. At the end of the day, Marcassin is just so distinct when compared to other Cali chards, and it’s always magnificent (for my taste). Smoked lemon, grilled marshmallows, sea salt, popcorn kernel and almost sulfuric. Impeccable.

Drinking in 2024. Exceptional balance with a nice nose of blackberry and salt. Spice, full but fine tannins on the palate. Moderate length finish that is a bit confused. Let it open up for least 30 mins. — 2 years ago

Touch of salt, apple and light baking spice on the nose. Mix of green apple and pickled fruit on the palate, with a medium finish. More tart and vinegar than your typical albarino. 2018 vintage. — 7 years ago

Los Carneros Vin Gris of Pinot Noir 2015

Nate Wall
9.2

Wow - best wine to pass my lips with a CA appellation in some time. Way more Tavel than Pinot Noir rosé. Rich and textured. Tangerine, white peach, celery salt, rhubarb, cotton candy and just a hint of that bubblegum that PN rosés always seem to have. — 7 years ago
