@Fabio Franchella always enjoyed his wines, except for the pinot.  Any chance you can add the vintage?

Domaine Henry Pellé

Menetou-Salon Morogues Pinot Noir Rosé 2017

Nose has mashed cherries, orange peel, tangerine flesh, ripe green melon, ripe peach, dry sandstone and hay.

Palate has tart strawberry, tart cherry, lime wedge, grapefruit peel, (minor) under-ripe yellow melon, dry-sandy soil with a long finish.

Acidity is amazing, even better than the fresh (current) bottles! Light tannins with faintly drying finish. I'm glad this is a rosé that gets plentiful purchasing in our household, as a couple vintage wait is highly rewarding. Unfortunately we're almost to the end of our '17's, scant reminants in the cellar. 😔 Total happiness delivered at $15!

Mendocino Carignan 2018

Best Carignan I’ve had. So drinkable but great complexity, excellent with food or without. Some cherries, anise, hint of cream, brick/dirt, good tannin. Probably has a lot of time in the bottle to age. — 6 years ago

Little G Washington State Grenache 2018

Savory and sweet. Strawberry, sweet herbs, pomegranate, and citrus oil. Balanced and fresh. Sean Boyd gets his Grenache right and the ‘16 is no exception. — 6 years ago

Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

It’s funny. I used to really only enjoy the Howell Mountain. And then I had the 2013 Mt Veeder. It wasn’t as green as previous Veeders and has such a full body and luxurious mouthfeel, I fell in love with it. Amazing right now. @Sean Capiaux - Great job! — 6 years ago

Enderle & Moll

Baden Pinot Noir 2018

Wine 6/12 (Pinot Noir aka 'Peanut of the Night')

Nose has ripe cherry, tree bark, roses, blood orange slice, minor cedar notes, molasses cookie and fresh blackberry.

Palate has dried strawberry, ripe cherry, dried citrus, tart cherry, molasses, baking spices with notable tannins/acidity, a very long finish.

A perfect wine for any party, if you don't like this there might be something wrong with you. Are you a dyed-in-the-wool White Zinfandel fan, maybe this isn't your game then.

Once again it is notable that I have made one full trip around the Sun earlier this week. We had our small, social bubble team to the house for celebrating my getting older and somewhat less flexible in advancing age...Whatever will be done when I creast 50? Well, at least it's several years until needing manage that concern.

We enjoyed well-salted Ribeyes (Kinderhook Farm - Valatie, NY, prepared 48h in advance), turning to a beautiful medium-rare after a mere 12m of grill time and smashed, small red potatoes with capers (yeah try it, don't judge me yet). None of the bottles were particularly planned as 'steak wines'; we didn't care as it really was a wine nerd-fest of grapes/regions, from Burgenland, Austria to Brittany, France. Wine and food were on individual plateaux today. This was the vom Boden Spring Experience case, expertly curated by Stephen Bitterolf, and well received by our tasting crew.

The 18th Pinot’s of E&M are impressive in fact I consider it one of the best if not the best vintage since inception.

@Pinotman /// Andreas I think this might be the best yet, and this this is only the entry level.
