2012 Ethan Grenache Blanc, 200 cases, from Ethan Lindquist of the Qupe family

Part 3 of 3
Rhone clones did well, but winner was '98 Reserve from Mont-Olivet (Dave brought). Delicious and in a perfect place, it dribbled flavorful fruit over the palate.

Yes, we had some Italians. Maybe later. I'm tired. I think it was the wafer-thin mint. #wine #chateauneuf #rhoneclone

2012 Ethan Grenache Blanc from Ethan Lindquist (the name may sound familiar; his father once owned Qupe). Aged great!

Rhone clones did well, but my personal pick for the winner was '98 Reserve from Mont-Olivet that Dave brought. Delicious and in a perfect place, it dribbled flavorful fruit over the palate.

Yes, we had some Italians at an Italian place. Maybe later. I'm tired. 😁 #wine #chateauneuf #rhoneclone
