Blanc de Morgex et de la Salle Prié Blanc 2020
N: Orange blossom special. Herbs( I guess you might say alpine) Straw, rocks.
P:Zing! Bright acidity melts into an herbal, mineral bath. Very forward.(front part of the under palate)
Young winemaker working near Mt. Blanc in Valle’e D’Aoste. An interesting Feb. quaff for sure, I could see a case going fast in the warm weather.
Pre-phylloxera Prié Franc, a new grape to me. — 2 years ago

Singing Grüner Veltliner 2018
Straight forward easy drinking cold weather white. Citrus zip with a clean finish. Great with a simple meal of chicken, lemon, and parm. Not too much acid. Cheap and tasty. — 4 years ago
Domaine Dupeuble
Beaujolais Gamay
Nice bouquet, without a nice light flavor that works well in warm weather. Paired the wine with a BBQ Brisket and it was a perfect pair. The wine enhanced the flavors of the meat. Also drank it with a chicken thigh rolled in bacon and again the wine enhanced the flavor of the dish. Drank in July 2024. — 4 months ago

This is the 2022 Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc. This is from Marlborough, New Zealand.
On the nose is the distinct aromas of lime, grapefruit, white peach, guava herbal notes, grass and pear.
On the palate there is grapefruit, lime, pineapple, mango and white peach.
This is a medium bodied wine with a cleanfresh mouth watering mothfeel medium+ acidity and a lind crusp citrus lime grapefruit finish. A wonderful wine for the money. Looks like the weekend should be a good one with some crisp cool weather. Wish you an eventful weekend. Please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂 — a year ago
Lagavulin Distillery
Aged 16 Years Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1816
This is a great tipple as the weather cools down in the Southern Hemisphere. From Islay with plenty of peat and smokiness. A maritime seaweed note. Some say Laphroaig is even more peaty but for me, the jury is still out on that one. — 6 months ago
Cloudy Bay
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2020
Tonight I was drawn back to the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and I opened the 2020 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc. This winery is the epitome of Sauvignon Blanc in New Zealand. I have had several of their Sauvignon Blanc's and they seem to express what sauvignon blanc is supposed to be.
On the nose there are pungent aromas of grapefruit, lime, white peach, green apple, mango, cut grass and mineral notes.
On the palate there are loads of citrus fruit, grapefruit, white peach, key lime, passionfruit, guava and minerals.
This wine is light to medium bodied with a crisp clean mouthfeel with mouthwatering high acidity that leads to a long citrus mineral finish. These past several days have been very moving with weather that has shaken our area to its very core. Thunderstorms, tornado warnings and tornadoes, and heavy rains over several days and seem that they will continue for at least a few more days. I hope everyone's week is going s bit easier and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂 — 3 years ago

Once upon a time, one could argue that Vacqueras was a poor man’s CNP. But at this point CNP may be the fool’s Vacqueras. A little menthol on the nose. Lots of dark fruit, leather, crushed stones, maraschino cherries and a hint of leather on the palate. Rustic and sublime at the same time. Great wine for fall and colder weather. — a month ago
