Velocity Cellars

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2019

The nondescript "N" in the bottom corner of the back label means this is the hard to find Sans Soufre version of Lapierre's Morgon. I believe 2021 was first time it's touched Texas soil. It's the more alive version. The wilder, riskier, more outspoken version. It's chatty and conversational, less raw and abrasive. Texture too - a big boy with loaded concentration and high velocity acid. Perfumed cherry raspberry, rose petal, forest earth, pine, and clove. — 3 years ago

Tawse Winery

Quarry Road Vineyard Chardonnay 2013

Bringing an old world stylistic ethos, Moray Tawse, who also owns Marchand-Tawse in Burgundy, founded his eponymous winery in 2000. Tawse yields some of Niagara's most finely focused, cool climate wines, in particular their Chardonnays. Cultivated from Tawse's certified biodynamic vineyard on Vinemount Ridge, the Quarry Road Chardonnay bursts with high-velocity swaths of saline energy. Painting swift strokes of taut, smoky stone flavors matched by cold, concentrated apple character, the wine recalls the great Chardonnays of Chablis - Montée de Tonnerre coming to mind for me. — 6 years ago

Force of Nature Tempranillo

The smell of the scent when a nose tastes the scent through nose taste buds gives me the idea of times applying 92% isopropyl alcohol (Kroger brand) to a bong with slightest cannabis residue that one can be inspired to clean it, so as to inspire confidence that one is not laden with a problematic habit, but instead very much in control of ones life, as evidenced by the clarity and lack of sticky residue on ones bong that would actually be indicative evidence that cannabis smoke does, in fact, have the potential to coat ones lungs with a sticky and carcinogenic cannabis residence, adding coarse-ground kosher salt (brand unknown) to the mixture so as to incorporate a non-scratching scrubbing abrasive to this cleaning solution, perfect for creating smaller fissures in the formerly-unified front of this "filtered" byproduct of cannabis-combustion, thereby increasing the surface-area-to-volume ratio of this buildup and thereby permitting greater dissolution of the material. That being said, I wholeheartedly vacuumed the airborne scent particles to my olfactory receptors at a velocity I would describe as really fucking quick. 58% cacao chocolate, Rwandan coffee beans, smoothed but sour red grapes thank you, sterling residents of Lake Silverware. — 8 years ago

Valdo

Marca Oro Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Superiore Prosecco

Aromatic and floral on the nose with golden apples, white peach, pear and lemon meringue finish.
This Prosecco is drier in style and as I describe it to friends….you can drink it with velocity.

Shared Notes

Les Pierres Qui Décident Sauvignon Blanc 2016

A beautiful expression of Sauv Blanc, reminiscent of Sancerre. Flinty and flirty, with high velocity flavors or crushed stones, salt, frozen apples, and lime pith. A total pleasure to drink and a totally different side of the Russian River. — 6 years ago

Jacquesson & Fils

Cuvée No. 739 Extra Brut Champagne Blend

Celebrating our 14th anniversary calls for a special champagne and this is very special. Fresh baked bread and candied citrus peel on the warm, welcoming and substantial nose. It has good velocity on the palate with a great minerality. Candied lemon peel and brioche in the mouth. A warm, complex mouth and lingering after! Big mousse. Delicious. Enjoyed with the one you love. — 8 years ago

Monsparone

Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 2007

A good example of a Barolo, salvaged from the wreckage of Virgin Velocity scheme. Medium light, brown but not over. A very fine taste.

Argyros

Estate Santorini Assyrtiko 2016

The majesty of old vines at work, Argyros offers an intensely focused, stony expression of Assyrtiko with finely chiseled flavors of gunflint, iodine, oyster shell, lemon pith, and salt block. The AVERAGE vine age is 150 years, but some of these ungrafted vines reach 300 years of age. A wine of velocity, precision, and cut. 100% Assyrtiko.

Domaine le Clocher

Pour une Poignée de Bouteilles Red Blend

Apparently the '13 needs a little time to sit, but on this drinking session it's fucken worth it, straight to the soul like a high velocity booze bullet. — 9 years ago
