Disclaimer: François and I make wine together under the Terminim brand. Nevertheless this is a breathtaking example produced in micro amounts. Highly recommended. — 6 years ago

Last week was a combo of 4th Friday and Open That Bottle Night on back to back nights. Needless to say, the lineup between both days was full of heavy hitters, so I’m only posting standout bottles.

A really nice Rhône white courtesy of the tandem François Villard and @Donald Patz . Floral notes of honeysuckle, lemon, sea salt and soft pineapple. Waxy profile that I tend to get with these Rhône whites, showing thyme, hint of orange blossom and honeyed stone fruits. — 5 years ago

Saint Joseph is making a strong move in the market right now. My partner in Terminim produces one that is both grounded and ethereal. You might get caught thinking it’s Burgundy. Grand Cru Burgundy. Only made in certain years when François Villard deems the wine worthy of this supreme designation — 6 years ago
