2021 Silver Heights, "Jiayuan", Pinot Noir - Chinese wines are having a moment in NYC amongst a few somms. This was super light. 11.5 % abv according to the label. It veered close to being underripe but was still a very enjoyable wine where the hint of greenness actually worked. It was lovely...

Could not agree more. Restaurants everywhere serve wine too warm. I really struggled with this on my last trip to Paris. It was not even that warm in Paris. In the U.S. Riesling is almost always served too warm. And it is critical that a wine with some small amount of RS is served at the...

Great notes on many wines I love. Twardowski is definitely not in the natural camp.

Loved everything I tried from the Mosel. I think I agree with Stephen's comments that it reminds me of a blend of 21 and 23. They are also so easy drinking and easily put a smile on my face. I tasted at 7 top domains in the Mosel. Also the 23 Dry Mosel wines that are coming out now from the...

We sell Jakob's wines at source | material. In 30 years of drinking wine no wine has fascinated me as much as Jakob's wine. When they are on they are extraordinary, truly extraordinary. The highs are so high. However they can also be painfully closed. The lows are low. He is a former two...

Thanks for the not on not only the vintage but this producer. Been buying them from Lyle but have not really tried them. I need to do that.

It is the wines or you? I think a lot about this. Something I have noticed with one of my other passions high end audio / music is that some days my system sounds glorious and like the musicians are sitting right there in front of me and other days I say this sounds horrible why did I go to...

I was hoping this was a new exercise fad!

Thank you I am working as hard as I can to find places that will offer an affordable option to allow a large group! I think the world needs riesling, schnitzel and social gatherings! The food at PdV is very good Max Mackinnon the former Chef of Libertine is a partner in PdV and oversees the...

2014 Clos de la Roilette Fleurie is in a really beautiful place. My only complaint is that is evaporated! The fruit is lovely and the wine is in complete harmony.

That is the 22 vintage. And Kilburg is on the higher end of acidity. Try 21s if you want geek level acidity or 23 if you want more than 22 but less than 21.

Leon and Sons did a big offer today. I have several more to help me understand the wines!

I tried one recently after reading Alice's article and there was definitely something charming and unique about the wine. It almost tasted like a hypothetical blend of very light Syrah and Pinot.

We will have the game on!
