Yes, yes, yes.
Our short ribs, roasted spuds and sprouts in the foreground 😜
So consistent and relaxed. Excellent. See my prior notes.

Cali masquerading as a white burg.
After the Pinson, normal service has been resumed.

We are thrilled with this entry-level chard from Kistler. We’ve developed a dependency for this wine.

Second time adding this tasting note after this app shit the bed, again…
Nose displays pineapple and butterscotch. Palate has character and depth, displaying brioche and butterscotch. Finishes with exotic white fruits, good sweetness, but the acidity has all but left the building. Consume these over the next 24 months.

Medium golden yellow. Lush nose with brioche, warm green apples, lemon curd, little straw and honeysuckle. Medium acidity (6/10) and medium to medium plus bodied. A little stoney on the palate with citrus rind and touch of yeast. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2025.

Textbook Kistler. Lychees and nutmeg on the nose. Quite heavy and dense on the palate. Almonds, oak and Meyer lemon are present, with soft acidity. Drinking perfectly now, although wifey detects an old box!
