Via del Campo Falanghina 2020

One of my favourite Italian whites - this is made from the Falanghina grape which is the main grape of Campania. Harvested at full ripeness. Fermentation takes place as 70% in stainless steel and 30% in Barrique. See previous note here in April 2025. Not designed for long cellaring. Previous notes still apply. An ideal winter white wine. White flowers, herbal notes with unctuous ripe fruits on the palate. Impossible not to enjoy this. Sadly my last bottle. — 10 months ago

My first Falanghina was this bottling of the same vintage and I absolutely loved it. I have had several ones from other producers and slowly turned into a fan of the variety. @Bob McDonald

Vox Rosé 2022

The perfect accompaniment to an archived broadcast of the Oakland Athletics last game at the Coliseum. Come home, Reggie Jackson; all is forgiven. — 2 years ago

Hermitage Syrah 2022

2022 vintage. Last tasted 2.26.25 (9.2). Tasted via Coravin. Even less love this time around. Still have the 2017 on the list and it’s drinking well. Tough to like. A total curmudgeon at this point. 4.8.26. — a month ago

Argille di Tagghia Via Nero d'Avola 2022

This Vineyard is located on land confiscated from the Mafia.
A hint of blackberries and an aroma of black pepper. A touch of minerals with balanced acidity. Taste of blackberry and a hint of coconut.

Cuvée de Réserve Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

June 2024 disgorgement; would’ve preferred to pop this +12 months (vs. 6), as it would certainly benefit from some time. A grower BdB favorite; of course made from 100% Chardonnay, coming from several Grand Cru villages in the Côte des Blancs. The Cuvée de Réserve is a blend of more than twenty vintages, dating back to 1988 (via the solera method)! Peters considers this their “flagship” champ, even at the NV price point.

Firm upfront with a rather long finish. Sharp acidity; strong lemon, pale stone fruit, orange zest, and young tangerine notes. Medium body with pillows to carry you through. Steel vs. wood. 12% ABV. Simply delicious.
