Super fun tasting through a selection of Dirty and Rowdy’s. While there wasn’t a bad bottle in this lineup, the 2017 Enz was lights out... Was a treat having the winemaker Hardy Wallace join us via Zoom. What we expected to be a 30min or so zoom call to walk us through the lineup turned into 2 hours of learning about the various vineyards Hardy works with and diving into his philosophy on wine. An afternoon I’ll never forget! Thanks Clare for making this happen! — 5 years ago

People better at wine than me told me to seek this out. So I did. And now I shall pass the same advice on to others. This juice is legit. I feels like your consuming sugar plum fairies in liquid form and giggling all the way. This will make you happy. @Hardy Wallace tip of the cap to you. Hope @ChappyTheWineSteward is well — 8 years ago

Julien Fayard, winemaker for Covert Estate, Azur, Taplin Cellars, Matthew Wallace and more, stopped by Fort Worth tonight to showcase a few different wines. A pleasure to meet and share wines with!

This was fun to taste alongside the Matthew Wallace. Two very different AVAs (this being Coombsville, MW being Stag’s Leap). Both had similarities in dark fruit being the most dominant, but this had much more “cool” fruit notes as well as stone and graphite. This wine showed an immense amount of freshly squeezed blackberries on the mid-palate with cedar and mint. At 5-years old, it still shows as a baby with the tannic finish. Long decant necessary.

I was able to visit this property back in ‘16 and the caves and tasting room and drop dead gorgeous...some of the most beautiful I’ve come across. Entire line-up is very solid. — 8 years ago

Had the delicious privilege of introducing a dear friend to this wine. Changed his whole perspective on shit. "Wow...what is this again and where can I buy it?" @Hardy Wallace you've done it again. — 9 years ago

The 1993 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru was a real surprise given that I have meted out criticism for the wines from this era. It has a mesmerizing nose with wild strawberry, raspberry and rose petal scents that feel youthful and exuberant. The palate is fleshy and beautifully balanced, supple and has delightful, seductive rondeur. It crescendos towards the finish that is armed with killer delineation, completing perhaps the best Musigny that de Vogüé oversaw that decade. Tasted blind at the Wallace brothers' Xmas dinner.

Sow's ear -> silk purse. Lemons -> lemonade. Ashes -> Phoenix. Or something like that. Whatever the crappy input was, the output is juicy glou-glou American vin du soif by way of Beaujolais with a sidecar of natty Southwest France. I want this all the time. (Though not at the expense of declassing all the single vineyard fruit that's in here.) Even better when you're glamping in Baja. @Hardy Wallace — 8 years ago

2019 vintage. Drinking more like that Caterwaul stuff vs straight Regusci juice but whatevs. Acting up and showing/throwing medium juicy/fleshy w/o the SLD soft tannic boundaries/guidelines so far but needs both a time-out and a nap to reset. Block 1 is the problem child apparently. We'll see in a year. 4.12.23. — 3 years ago

Served blind to a few of us by @Weston Eidson . My initial, and final call, of this was ‘14-‘15 Napa Cab. Honestly, hard to put it anywhere else. A more ripe and rich version with an overwhelming amount of baking spices, bruised dark fruits and fig on the nose. Low acidity and an overall “soft” profile...tannic, but not overly so. Nutmeg, cocoa shavings, baked mixed berry pie and just a hint of dust/chalkiness to it. Super approachable now. Julien Fayard makes wonderful wines and I think this, along with his Matthew Wallace wines, are the most enjoyable young. — 7 years ago

Without a doubt a nod to Julien’s upbringing. Very Provençal with little acid, salmon colored in the glass. Strawberry, peach and stone driven on the palate. — 8 years ago

You know in Pulp Fiction, when Ms. Mia Wallace is doing whatever illicit drug she's doing in the bathroom, and then says, "I said God damn!" -- well, this is my Ms. Mia Wallace moment. From the Nahe, this is the 2015 Schafer-Frohlich Riesling Vulkangestein Trocken. Coming from 30-40 year old vines in Felsenberg and Stromberg, the Estate's volcanic soil grand crus. For me, this encapsulates everything 2015 was meant to be... gorgeous, lush fruit, rocking acidity, beautiful balance, vivid aromatics, and laser-beam precision and tension. Damn. This is total prima ballerina dancing on your tongue. Nose/palate: lemon blossoms, orange blossoms, grapefruit, kiwi, passionfruit, so lively, and in-your-face minerality. Brilliant. — 9 years ago
