Mineral water on the nose, salty (giving margarita) on the tongue. I like it a lot !! Super dry and flat after almost like drinking mineral water! — 10 months ago

Georgian food night - for me cuisine calls for oxidative wines given the local style & winemaking and LdH Todonia blanco fit the bill perfectly. Awkward on pop n pour, came around by the evening. Brilliant copper gold, beeswax-oxidative-walnut accord. Roasted pear. Buttressing lemony acidity. Medium finish. 😍 @Delectablewine Delectablewine this is the blanco - bug won’t let me change the identified wine. — 2 years ago

Wow, totally fabulous. Fairly dry, perfumed, lean, angular and very tart. Walnut skins, orange rind. So complex. But not heavy at all like most Madeira. Beautiful wine. — 2 years ago

Micro-bubbles galore, Yum! This might be close second for a Friday evening standard for @David T but tonight it is flowing into glasses on the complete opposite side of the Country. A wonderful Blanc de Blanc Champagne.

Nose has freshly scrubbed lemon, grapefruit peel, sliced Granny Smith apple, wet chalk, cold brioche and Gardenia blossom in a breeze.

Palate is fresh orange peel, grapefruit peel (like really wow), tart green apple, fresh walnut, crunchy brioche with a little hint of sweetened butter and a splash of acidic ocean water.

Finish is intense, yet elegant and lasting for many minutes. We are quite looking forward the the evolution of this bottle across the evening, as it warms from 46°F and gains air time.

Thank you @David T @Sofia Jalilie for allowing us into your week closing tradition. The next bottle should have us closer together. — 5 years ago

Very peculiar wine typical of Cote du Jura from Chardonnay and Savagnin grapes. Yellow straw color with amber undertone, it is quite complex both on the nose and the palate. Smell of walnut and quince and spices the taste is full with balanced acidity. Really loved it. — 2 years ago

Wish Bryan was still producing. Delicious funk and acid and, well you just have to try it. — 4 years ago

2017 vintage. Very forest-y with cranberry, crab apple, walnut skin, autumn leaves (both dry and damp), birch, red flowers, pomegranate, dry herbs. Good typicity and balance between earthy and fruit flavors. Definitely in the lighter spectrum and higher acid than any New World examples. — 5 years ago
