Nice skin contact pinot gris. Watermelon colour, good astringency, dry, not much fruit. — 11 days ago

Burgundy night. Started off with a nice champagne followed by a Cali roussanne to calibrate the palates.

Buttery and rubbery at the same time. Probably slightly past its prime? Strong front palate of toasted butter and wax. Mid palate and finish fade to a faint almond note. — 16 days ago

Rediscovering California whites - particularly the restrained style of winemaking prompted by westerly vineyards situated on cool current influence. Drinks like a burgundy with dollops of golden apple, Anjou pear, ripe peach, fennel, electric acid leading to a mint-laden finish on a medium frame. Lovely with scallops and meaty oysters, easy to sip with Marcona almonds or alone — 4 days ago

Lemon, pine, almond. White grapefruit. It’s got some musk to it that I can’t quite figure out. Maybe passion fruit? Much better the next day. Chardonnay lovers would get a kick out of it. — 7 days ago

This is actually the Special Bottling of the 2006 Solomon Hills chardonnay. Adam Tolmach describes finding the chardonnay grapes coated in botrytis in 2006 and decided to pick and ferment the best lots separately. Made just over 130 cases of this utterly unique wine. Incredible depth in both aromatics and flavor, this 100% dry wine has notes of lemon peel, white flowers, and honey coupled with great weight and mouthfeel. There’s plenty of acidity to keep the wine moving - which is an impressive testament to its balance - making for one of the best chardonnays I’ve had in a long time. And I almost forgot: this wine is nearly 12 years old and still evolving. Awesome. — 22 days ago

Man, naturally-made Grenache just keeps getting me. The color on this is crazy - almost a see-through mahogany. Funky fresh. Only 44 cases produced. — a day ago
