Domaine Potinet-Ampeau

Charmes Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay

Ripe lemon, tangerine and lime pith encircle a warm tropical melange. There are endive sentiments and echoes of ocean brine.
lemon is a big player on the palate, showing three faces; zest essence and racy fruit. A touch of lime keeps it clean and the salinity brings it all home. What it lacks in complexity it doubles down on in subtlety. Def for lighter seafood dishes that need to brighten.

The pro rating of 7.0 is a damn lie. This is like a 9.5. Come at me, “pro”! — 6 years ago

Serragghia Fanino Catarratto e Pignatello

🎬 . Første klap! Drivende saftige Haribo-ferksner. Næsten IPA’et i sin stone fruit-karakter. Friske tannniner. Pro tip: Køb Martin Wörners Manna for samme oplevelse til en tredjedel af prisen. — 3 years ago

Weingut Ewald Gruber

Röschitz Die Terrasse Reipersberg Grüner Veltliner 2019

Pro ratings are on the mark here. Refreshing #grunerveltliner from #weinviertel. Lovely wet chalk, faint chives and vegetal notes, crisp acidity, touch of spritz when you first open the bottle and some citrus and white pepper on the finish. Here is your green salad slayer pairing wine. — 5 years ago

Domaine La Grande Ribe

Cuvée Centenaire Côtes du Rhône Villages 2009

What a delicious $15, 10 year old baby CdP!! Wonderful mix of fresh herbs and dried read fruit. Wish I had a case for all the lamb and Mediterranean minded food. Thank you Mike the golf pro for the tip so long ago — 6 years ago

Domaine Pascal Cotat

La Grande Côte Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Yellow plums and a range of stone fruit, especially the fragrant skins, and excellent wet stone minerals, like a very clear cool country pool in the morning. Very round mouthfeel, round acids like green grapes, gooseberry, rounded out with kiwi. It’s super green and yellow in tasting color spectrum, somewhat violet purple in a synesthesia way. It’s really ripe and really tight, like a pro athlete just hitting her peak. See @Lyle Fass notes — 6 years ago

The palate is freshest around 11am, right, haha.

Domaine La Suffrene

Cuvée Les Lauves Bandol Rouge Mourvedre Blend 2011

Worth the pro rating average 9.5. I thought.....really?...but yes. Going back to buy a case. Pencil and cinnamon and wonderful. I think we should go back to Bandolier to drink more. — 9 years ago

Contrade di Taurasi (Cantine Lonardo)

Irpinia Aglianico

A very solid yet obtuse version of Aglianico compared the 2014 I had recently. This was much more similar teroldigo than the Nebbiolo-styled offering I experienced. Downside: less nuanced, a bit dull, and lacking intrigue. Pro: sturdy and effective…good for big rich foods like meat lasagna or sausage & peppers. 18$ for Kim’s  — 4 years ago

Château Capet-Guillier

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

It is dark purple in color. There are black fruit aromas in the nose, high tannin, rich, cherry, plum, blackberry aromas on the palate. There are vanilla, cedar and pro aromas coming from the barrel.
It is suitable for aging.
It goes well with steak, lamb and meat.

Les Vins de Vienne (Cuilleron Gaillard Villard)

Les Otéliées Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2000

2000 vintage was better than pro rating. Still a little watery. Slightly delicate. But it had good color and no bitterness. — 6 years ago

Pro Anima Pinot Blanc 2016

Peach and marzipan flavours to this. Slight sharpness while at the same time having that almost slight sherry creaminess to it. An enjoyable and reasonably priced PB. — 8 years ago

Jurtschitsch/Sonnhof

Steinhaus Langenlois Grüner Veltliner 2019

A very unique Gruner. Glad we picked it up. Almost all fruit and very little of the characteristic steel that is a gruner. A 9.1 pro rating might be a little high, but not far off. — 9 years ago

Château Blouin

Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Kicking back letting the local tunes adjust my attitude with wine:30 showing on the clock she strolls in my direction digging the slow roll Hendrix spinning left then twisting right dressed in deep purple clinging and flowing interestingly crimson along her rim and edges back to casually claret whispering that she's from a small chateau hanging on the right bank of the Gironde near Arveyres. Offering her hand, I accept pulling her in close then a slow spin and a slower twirl she comes close bathed in the essence of blackberry and spice, young but ripe, wet earthy slowly working her way to a first kiss dripping then gripping, pulling tightly then going soft and silky still clinging while working her way deeper. I close my eyes, Hendrix stops and she's gone. A distant guitar string bends an unknown player. I spot her by the bar, her colors waving in the breeze of a lazy fan I reach out take her firmly by the neck, then lower bending her gently back then spinning her my way, she again engages, her essence lingering in my memory, we dance on as the tunes continue their spin. Later, when we are both done I figure she's likely a fine Merlot brightened by Cab Franc having found her way through new French oak nestled by the river, intelligently nuanced well worth the dance and cost is not an issue...

Hanging at Promise' Land Market where the tunes are always righteous, the people are cool, the conversation is groovy and wines dance from the walls...
