Sossusvlei Lodge
Schiopetto
Collio Pinot Bianco 2019
Beautiful full deep medium gold… surprising for such a young white wine. Enticing bright aroma of spring flowers and juicy dripping ripe orchard fruit. Every once in a while you run into a wine that just knocks you back a step.. this is such a wine. Rich, ripe, round, weighted, serious, lip-smacking good, complex, alive, smile-inducing, with a finish that makes you want to pour a glass for everyone you know. We consumed this wine with extremely well-made takeout Indian… Tikka Chicken, warm spicy Chana, and downright hot Lamb Vindaloo… this elixir stood up to the hodge-lodge and made it better. I need to buy this wine by the case. — 3 years ago
Cave de Lugny
Vieille Réserve Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay
Lightly fruity and tart, backed by a pleasant creaminess, with a minerally finish. Would definitely get again. This was an impromptu birthday gift from the kind folks at Saddle Peak Lodge. Dreama and I enjoyed the 2015 vintage with Corbarina Pizza from Pizzana in Brentwood. — 4 years ago

Château Peyrat
Graves 2016
Lovely medium bodied white with a fair number of legs. Subtle notes of floral on the nose. Pears & apricots on the fore palate followed by soft but distinct minerals, and finished with whispers of citrusy lemon - lime. Enjoyed it with Tim at Tarpon Lodge on Pine Island (seafood & filet) — 4 years ago

Nose: some Brett blows off. Sweet lilacs.
Palate: very good tension. Juicy fruit. Blackberry.
