Wines were tasted double blind in random flights. Each flight is tasted, discussed, and revealed prior to moving on to the next flight.
A couple of nonblind starters
Double blind for the group; I knew the order. I noticed we were down to our last of the '16 Lewis and having just received some of the '18, I thought it might be fun to have a small vertical. The '16 was perhaps a little bit light on fruit, but only by comparison to the subsequent vintages. The group was split between the '17 and '18 as the favorite. In my opinion, the sweet spot for the Lewis Vin Gris is one year after release...so we will drink the '17s this year, and drink our '18s (just released this week) in the summer of 2020.
Nonblind, with dinner and dessert. We served prosciutto-wrapped pork tenderloins and a couple salads, with brown butter brownies for dessert.

Courtesy of D&L. Pale color with lovely berry, watermelon and mineral notes on the nose and palate. Light but noticeable acidity. Very pretty.
