Grapefruit, lemon, pineapple, oak, kiwi fruit, and flint. Medium alcohol, medium plus acid, light bodied white with a medium finish. Less reductive than the 2021. This is a very pleasant and refreshing white that would be a good summer sipper and match with white fish or salads. — 15 days ago

Belated notes on New Year’s Eve! Allison Oli wedding celebration dinner 10-7-24 Water Witch Club, “Uncle Jimmy” wine tasting table with vertical of Riesling and world tour of Pinot Noir. This leads off the world tour, lean and angular, full of sharp angles and austere yet enticing character. Not so popular, as expected, except for Allison’s friend who I only met at the end of the night. — a year ago

Belated notes on New Year’s Eve! Allison Oli wedding celebration dinner 10-7-24 Water Witch Club, “Uncle Jimmy” wine tasting table with vertical of Riesling and world tour of Pinot Noir. This is the last stop on tour and the highlight, Double Magnum bottle with top receding to well above neck but in great shape! Phew! All the other offerings used up one bottle but this four bottle equivalent was totally gone , many skipped the other wines and went to the big boy out of curiosity. 25 years, Ben M birth year! Beautiful nose of overripe and fading red berries and fruits with fall leaves weaving in and out, hints of mushrooms, damp earth. Still lively on palate and long mellow finish. Unique experience. Highlight of the evening, talk of the town. — a year ago

Belated notes on New Year’s Eve! Allison Oli wedding celebration dinner 10-7-24 Water Witch Club, “Uncle Jimmy” wine tasting table with vertical of Riesling and world tour of Pinot Noir. Third stop on world tour, more into the lusher California style with richer red fruits and floral notes even at this age but a bit more sense of heat. Quite a few liked this. Also no surprise. — a year ago

Belated notes on New Year’s Eve! Allison Oli wedding celebration dinner 10-7-24 Water Witch Club, “Uncle Jimmy” wine tasting table with vertical of Riesling and world tour of Pinot Noir. The Riesling vertical goes from 2009-2014 for three vintages. All three wines are pure Riesling excellence. Found out t Mosel Fine Wine newsletter rates this as the most underprepared and undervalued wine in the region. — a year ago

Belated notes on New Year’s Eve! Allison Oli wedding celebration dinner 10-7-24 Water Witch Club, “Uncle Jimmy” wine tasting table with vertical of Riesling and world tour of Pinot Noir. 4th stop on tour, obligatory stop at Burgundy. Very decent representative, if not outstanding. Balanced though reticent. Good enter into the big bottle! — a year ago

Rich n fresh, fresh n rich. It is itself. It does not care. If it wants to wear a necklace of bordering-on-dried-cherries plus vanilla shirt with a cola-infused-with-herbs skirt palate let it do its thing. That is its style, bewitching to be sure, but I’m a semi-retired witch (haven’t entirely let go of my time as a Wiccan) I’m for it. — 4 years ago
