2016 La Fleur d'OrSauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
5/9/2024 - ManhattanBeach Likes this wine: NRA closing dinner (The private room at Scott’s, Mayfair): Lovely fresh cut tropical fruits, mango and pineapple and lemon curd. Disappeared quickly alongside the triple chocolate and salted caramel fondant with praline ice cream (which, as desserts go, was _amazing_) |

2017 L'Hospitalet de GazinPomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/9/2024 - ManhattanBeach Likes this wine: NRA closing dinner (The private room at Scott’s, Mayfair): PnP by the waiters, opened up in the glass. Nicely put-together, no sharp edges and very resolved tannins, but still perhaps a touch heavy for the fillet of halibut, olive mash. |

5/9/2024 - ManhattanBeach Likes this wine: NRA closing dinner (The private room at Scott’s, Mayfair): Fresh and energetic, without sharpness. Served to pair the seafood platter and Devonshire crab tart; decent match too with the beetroot & goat cheese salad |

5/10/2024 - ManhattanBeach Likes this wine: NRThe first summer evening of the year (Ramsden): Opened to follow the 2016 Le Volte. I continue to love this, and am very sad only to have a couple left, but G thought it was “too floral” in comparison to the Le Volte. |

5/10/2024 - ManhattanBeach Likes this wine: NRThe first summer evening of the year (Ramsden): Decanted for an hour or so and benefited from it. Luscious, accessible, enjoyable. Great with the bbq beef rib. |

| Rosé - Sparkling |
NV Gratien & Meyer Saumur Saumur Rosé Brut (The Wine Society)Rosé Blend more |
3/30/2024 - ManhattanBeach Likes this wine: NRWith rare roast beef, based on an FT recommendation from Jancis Robinson to match pink fizz with red meat: “I think it was the intensity of the combination of fruit and fizz that was forceful enough to counterbalance the chewiness of the beef.” VG, and VG match. Not that thirst-quenching but a great match and worth repeating. |
