Cancun 2025 — 3 months ago
Winner! Been awhile since I’ve been “wowed” by a wine, but this really delivered. It’s everything special about southern France, it’s not a huge wine and had a bit of heat that dissipated by Night 2, but the aromatics and flavor profile was just so spot on, so beautifully complex & engaging, so regionally specific - it was like a textbook. Believe this was about $20 give or take and I’m going back for a case. — 3 months ago
The difference 40 years makes is maybe just a thin wooly blanket.
Pull it back and this thing's full of life - bright, vibrant, gas in the tank.
It’s brighter yellow than tired gold. Theres more fruit than decay. Sour apricots and yellow canned peaches, white popcorn and greasy bacon, and that foggy musk.
Acid rips through and does not give. Barely sweet with the demi-sec tag thats written right there but I'm not buying it.
Tonight this is 40 years old, just gettin' goin, just like me. — 4 months ago

This is the ideal personification of Vouvray. The nose is alive with green apple, pear, white flowers, lime zest, mineral and chalk. The mouthfeel is dry, focused and vibrant with sharp acidity, a crystalline texture, and layers of citrus and saline notes that linger. Great in its youth with great aging potential. — a month ago
