Elegant with the calmness of age.

With a pH around 2.99, the wine keeps a crisp acidity and a clean, refreshing finish.
Still very enjoyable to drink.

🌿Bordeaux whispers🌿
Rolling through the sun-kissed vineyards of my family’s estate on e-bikes, I’m surrounded by friends, laughter, and the scent of ripening grapes—a perfect blend of elegance and adventure that I live for.🍷

'15 Radikon Oslavje - THIS is why we have so many orange wines now. A kaleidoscope of 🤯 non-fruit flavors. If you're a fan of skin contact whites and haven't tried these (& Gravner), get on it to see what the OGs can do. 10/10

'16 Luis Seabra Mono C - no one is making Portuguese wine with as much energy and life as Luis Seabra. 8 years old, 100% Castelão, so fresh with a zing of acidity running through perfectly ripe fruit. It's a whole new Portugal
#wine #winenotes #tastedtoday #drinkwhatyoulike #castelão
Tasted today:
'16 Sylvain Pataille Clos du Roy- not as cheap as it used to be, but still a bargain for honest, complete Burgundy. Rustic in the best way, w/ earth, herbs and perfect middle weight Pinot fruit. Prefer this over wines 3x the $

Tasted today:
'22 A Tribute to Grace whole cluster - Angela Osborne's second ever 100% whole cluster bottling; achingly young, it's already compelling. Her usual magically transparent red fruit + sandalwood, cedar and hillside herbs 🔥🔥🔥
#wine #winenotes #tastedtoday #drinkwhatyoulike #grenache
Tasted today:
'22 Solminer Skin Fermented Gruner Veltliner- 0/0, 2 weeks on the skins, really clean. Tastes less of Gruner and more of that skinsy/apricot orange wine thing, but still holds on to some floral aromatics. Delicious crowd pleaser

Tasted today:
'18 Clos Cibonne Cuvée Speciale - Uniquely aged an additional year under a thin veil of flor (like sherry), the biologic effects are mild but add a layer of lightly nutty complexity to the lifted high toned red fruit. Food wine
#wine #winenotes #tastedtoday #drinkwhatyoulike #tibouren
Tasted today:
'09 San Fereolo Dogliani - this old vine, bio-d dolcetto gets lots of love in natty circles, but its always missed my palate. Nicely rustic, but bretty & weighed down by its long elevage. I see the attraction, but not for me.
#wine #winenotes #tastedtoday #drinkwhatyoulike #dolcetto
Tasted today:
'06 Felsina Rancia Chianti Classico Riserva - I often find the Rancia lacking freshness in service of more mature cedar/balsamic notes; hit this bottle at the right time, nicely balanced between them at 22 years old

Tasted today:
Moretto Lambrusco Gasparossa di Castelvetro - Opened 'cause it was gonna be great with the charcuterie, drank it all night. Perfectly dry, gently frizzante, funky and refreshing. This ain't Riunite y'all, drink more lambrusco
#wine #winenotes #tastedtoday #drinkwhatyoulike #lambrusco
Tasted today:
‘18 Benoit Courault Gilbourg - there's a surprising amount of reduction still, but that can't hide the beautiful, large framed dry Anjou chenin underneath. Crystalline honeycomb and ripe pears/quince make this compelling

Tasted today:
'20/'21 Pedro Mendez Xuntanza -Multi-vintage and better for it. The slight oxidative notes round out the base without feeling old/tired. Vines sit a couple km from the ocean and the sea influence is strong. A delight

Tasted today:
'22 Demougeot Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Bourgeots - See, this is why Burgundy gets a bad rap. Even as village wine, this is not inexpensive; and while varietally correct, it's boring and tastes more of oak than fruit. Meh
#wine #winenotes #tastedtoday #drinkwhatyoulike #pinotnoir
Tasted today:
'19 Arribas Quilómetro - all the indigenous Portuguese grapes in this one, 70% red, 30% white. Acid forward, angular and a little saline, not particularly compelling. Climate change might fix that, tho.

Tasted today:
'22 Le Vent des Jours 46 Un Jour ou L'Autre- Clean, natty 0/0 malbec. Fruity, energetic, not shying away from its natural wine bona fides. No sideways fermentation flavors; I'd love a glass at a wine bar, prolly not buy for home
#wine #winenotes #tastedtoday #drinkwhatyoulike #malbec
Tasted today:
'16 Alberto Nanclares Poza Vella - The only thing wrong with this is that he doesn't make it anymore. Mature, and a showstopper. Serious, beguiling, complex capital W wine. More weight and density then expected, all the better
#wine #winenotes #tastedtoday #drinkwhatyoulike #spain
Tasted today:
'21 Pedro Mendez Viruxe - Old vine Mencía picked early gives concentration and holds acidity. Quite approachable for 100% Mencía, tart but generous red fruit make this a perfect match for sunshine and cured meats
#wine #winenotes #tastedtoday #drinkwhatyoulike #mecia #spain
Tasted today:
'21 Fedellos do Couto Bastarda - Trousseau in Ribiera Sacra? Hell yeah. Packs an amazing intensity on such a light frame; racy red fruit and a surprising amount of grip. More precise, if less funky, than Jura versions
#wine #winenotes #tastedtoday #drinkwhatyoulike #bastarda #spain
Tasted today:
'22 Demougeot Beaune Clos Saint-Desire - tastes like winemaking, not wine. Lotta oak and reduction, hard to tell if the material underneath will still be there when the gloss fades away. Meh, skeptical.

Tasted today:
'23 Pedro Mendez Albariño - most exciting new producer I tasted earlier this year, and the new vintage is 💣 🔥. Incredibly expressive, jumps out of the glass and doesn't let up on the palate. I dare you not to like this
