Gosset

Grande Réserve Brut Champagne Blend

I’m a bit of a sucker for this wine - love the baroque rich yellow fruit with the touch of white nougat contrasted by zippy lemony acidity and crushed shell minerality.
Starts broad & rich, finishes off linear & liberally taut, with just a hint of tannin.
Such lovely sipping!

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend 2021

Deep purple in color; plums, black cherries, and oak on the nose; high acidity; high tannins; a little hot; tastes like black plums, licorice (I think), and blackberry jam with a long peppery finish. Nellie likes it. I do too, but it's more fruit forward than what I prefer lately, but very good — a year ago

Vieilles Vignes Morgon Gamay 2019

My favorite of the Gang of Four. Lively without the funk, layers of earth, darkened red berries like starting with prime and ending with pomegranate — a year ago

Sonoma County Pinot Noir 2021

9.7/10
Shared this on a lazy Sunday paired with popcorn and a movie and it was FANTASTIC for the value. So spicy and fruity yet light; would definitely drink again.

Brut Rosé Champagne Blend

Champagne has gotten expensive lately. This is no different. But, it is my go to N/V Rosé. Seems I’m still willing to pay the large increase for it.

Tis the season for garden tomatoes. So great with Burrata topped with olive oil & Tondo balsamic, (find it, the best), basil, served on olive oil brushed, broiled crostini’s made from Simple Sourdough made by Companion Bakery. From 375ml.

Yes, 😂. Though…it has been a long while. The creamsicle in this w/ the fine chalkiness is just too much to my liking to give up. 🤷‍♂️
