Absolutely loved it! So refreshing, stoney grapefruit, light maceration, its bright and fun to drink. Hard to put down! — 2 months ago

Exceptional Gamay, sizzling top notes balanced with plentiful deep red fruityness. Smooth but not overtly silky or viscous. — 5 years ago

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our conductor Andris Nelsons is leading GERSHWIN (Piano Concerto in F), GERSHWIN (Variations on “I Got Rhythm,” for piano and orchestra) and STRAVINSKY (Petrushka) with the amazing Jean-Yves Thibaude as the piano soloist on the two first works presented today. Jean-Yves is by far among our favorite pianists to grace the Koussevitzky Shed stage, so graceful, yet poignant!

Hot days call for cool wines, today there are some fun ones planned for sharing.

Nose has blackberry jam on toasted brioche, violet,
bruised Tai basil, blueberry seeds and crushed ripe black currant.

Palate has peppered black raspberry, black cherry, tomato leaf and well concentrated blueberry jam.

@Carla Hine Thanks for sharing, top candidate for wine of the afternoon, along with the Minges Scheurebe!!! — 7 years ago

Gorgeous skin contact-y Riesling. Fuller with medium acid. Roasted peaches, dried apricots with a little bit of blood orange. Amanda and I drank during a perfect meal at Hogstone. Felt dreamy and delicious. — 7 years ago

incredible complexity, delicious bright natty vibes but super drinkable, minerality and barrel flavors come alive — a year ago

Different from other white wines, in the best way possible. Reminds me of the Domaine du Pelican Chardonnay. Fully bodied and perhaps…flinty? — 5 years ago

This NV spent 3 years in a friend’s cellar and is by far this year’s greatest surprise: honeysuckle, white blossoms, and nuts on the nose; red grape fruit on the palate and a terrific mousse and a nice long finish. This wine had the qualities of a great single vintage and at the ridiculous price of 17 € purchased at the house. — 6 years ago

Nose has fresh fennel, cassis, freshly washed strawberry and ripe peach.

Palate has zesty acidity from ripe grapefruit or tangelo perhaps, ripe (light) kiwi and crushed mint.

So good, it's hard to keep a full bottle for long! — 7 years ago

No notes, a quiet celebration for my wife and me as I have successfully ticked another box in the years-on-planet category today. Feeling older...I think.

Cailleze-Lemaire Eclats, Lot No. 0514; A newer bottle than what was previously in the cellar. I'll capture notes on a future bottle. Palate seems a little subdued from prior lot, perhaps more time in bottle is deserved.

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our Conductor Anna Rakitina (BSO’s Assistant Conductor) is leading Elena LANGER (Figaro Gets a Divorce, Orchestral Suite), RAVEL (Piano Concerto in G) and ELGAR (Opus 36, Enigma Theme). The soloist for the piano concerto tonight is none other than Jean-Yves Thibaudet, our absolute favorite pianist (or piano-player as Emanuel Ax has been noted to say because he thinks the traditional term sounds funny when spoken), a never-to-be-missed event for us whenever he plays these hallowed grounds. (In 2004 Jean-Yves served as president of the Hospices de Beaune, factoid for any wine nerds who are also classical music nerds.) — 5 years ago
