La Belle Connivence

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

A few days late but here is my annual tribute to Gustav Meier. He was loved dearly by six(?) decades of students and colleagues. As worldly and as sophisticated as he was, this great man had terrible taste in alcohol. There’s a Belgian style brewery near school where he would only order Coors Light from. His go to scotch was Cutty Sark. For wine, he preferred those gaudy Californian merlots that got deservedly dunked on in Sideways. Whenever I brought him a bottle of wine, I always got him a right bank Bordeaux. Perhaps my hints at how wonderful merlot can be were too subtle. It’s been nine years but we all miss him dearly. I may no longer be a conductor but I can still hear many teachings of his as if he is standing next to me. “Get out of their way and just trust them!” I need constant reminders of this invaluable piece of advice whether I am parenting or working with a client. Raise a glass for Gusti! — a year ago

Barrique Pinot Noir 2020

Good fruit, light but flavourful. Bright. Very light touch with the oak. Very mild tannins. A lot of acidity. Tasted at Open Cellars. This is too young to drink now. — 4 years ago

Walter Hansel Winery

Cahill Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Jeff Meier- I really love the wines from this producer. Focused on Burgundy varietals, Walter Hansel has a restrained touch on Pinot Noir. Sour cherry, vanilla and strawberry preserve aromas with a silky smooth palate that balances all of the goodness of Pinot Noir. — 10 years ago

Trocken St. Laurent 2014

Great value. Delivers well but maybe do not keep any longer as fruit starting to fade and not enough acid. — 9 years ago

Malo Red Blend

Dense and intense. Coffee, chocolate and candies red fruits. Benefited from 1hr+ air. Brought this bottle back from Argentina over 2 years ago after visiting the winery...Oh Yeah... — 10 years ago

Girard Winery

Napa Valley Merlot 2014

Jeff Meier- Merlot can be hit and miss at times, but I was pleasantly surprised by this tasty offering from Girard. The raspberry and blueberry fruit with coffee-like varietal freshness was supported by good palate weight and density. The flavors were fresh and varietally correct. — 10 years ago

Mayacamas Vineyards

Mt. Veeder Chardonnay 2013

Jeff Meier- Mayacamas Chardonnay harkens me back to visits to the winery with my late father-in-law, Keith. Fresh peach and citrus, with palate richness and minerality, this Chardonnay speaks of elegance and harmony. — 10 years ago

Trimbach

Alsace Pinot Blanc

Jeff Meier- Pinot Blanc has been a favorite white varietal of mine since my early days at J. Lohr. Trimbach's 2014 shows everything that there is to like about the varietal from the green apple, white flower and stone fruit aromas to the fresh flavors of peach, apple and snap pea herb with acidic brightness. — 10 years ago
