Tailgate

Château de la Maltroye

Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 2005

My first Batard-Montrachet and of course, it’s poured into a Solo cup because, Tailgate. Let’s go! The 2005 pours a deep golden color and on the nose, though it shows oxidative qualities, you can already perceive the concentration. Dried stone fruits mostly and pineapple “pate de fruit”, lemon, quince, and nuts. The palate was most fascinating. The attack was brighter with acid and chalk and more tart fruit but the finish was dense, round ripe and dry stone and pomaceous fruit that seemed to cling on the tonsils. Almost like two separate wines. Due to the concentration and acid, this probably has years to go but the oxidative character isn’t going away so I’d probably drink now. — 2 months ago

Señor De Lesmos Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2018

Andrew at K & L Wines made this recommendation for me along with other more expensive Riojas.
This is a great value and perfect with pizza, a burger or at a tailgate. Went back after drinking a bottle and bought a case.

Tailgate White

A little on the sweeter side, not too acidic, goes down smooth, pretty in the middle. A nice palatable wine that most would agree with. — 6 years ago

Pre tailgate evening, enjoyed this one from a magnum. Really solid, dark cherry, leather, floral notes and smooth, fine grained tannins. Go Cyclones! — 6 years ago
