2010 Ken Wright Pinot Noir Willamette Valleymore |
4/18/2015 - linserge Likes this wine: NRBurgundian indeed! Earthy, mushrooms, a bit of lovely funk. Not too acidic, yet crisp, not thin. Drinking well now though I'd want to wait until 2018 to open my 2nd one. |

2010 Jacques Puffeney Arbois Cuvée SachaChardonnay Blend, Chardonnay more |
4/17/2015 - linserge Likes this wine: NRI don't find oxidized wines particularly compelling, but this was strikingly good. An amazing balance of fruit, bone-dry minerality, and then the obvious oxidation. |

11/23/2014 - linserge Likes this wine: NRneeds more time, but already has character, and beautiful refined fruit. Acid balance is just right. |

2009 Domaine Huet Vouvray Sec Le Haut-LieuChenin Blanc more |
6/6/2013 - linserge Likes this wine: NRgreat wine. Balanced, hint of earth, perfect acidity/ RS balance. Classic chenin fruit profile. |
| White |
2010 Gérard Boulay Sancerre ChavignolSauvignon Blanc more |
6/3/2013 - linserge Does not like this wine: NRIn contrast to the usual overly-fleshy Boulay, this was rather tight, thin, tart and acidic. Plus side: a hint of seashells. It seemed to aspire towards chablis, but fall short. Worse on Day 2. |

2009 Xavier Vignon Côtes du RhôneRed Rhone Blend more |
5/30/2013 - linserge Likes this wine: NRI have to admit that for the price this was great. Totally primary, but not without some element of balance. Loads of berry and cherry. |
| White |
2010 Gérard Boulay Sancerre Monts DamnésSauvignon Blanc more |
5/30/2013 - linserge Likes this wine: NRmineral-driven, steely, and perfect acidity. Great sancerre. |

5/19/2013 - linserge Likes this wine: NRNice, but lacking the acidity and minerality I had been expecting. |
| Red |
2010 Rhys Pinot Noir Bearwallow VineyardAnderson Valley more |
5/19/2013 - linserge Likes this wine: NRGreat Pinot. Hint of smoke, yet floral. Quite primary right now, but surprisingly earthy & terroir-enabled for a domestic Pinot. Can't wait to see how it evolves over the next 10-15. |
| White |
2010 Domaine Belluard Gringet Vin de Savoie Le Feumore |
5/9/2013 - linserge Likes this wine: NRfantastic Savoie. Rich yet good minerality, and excellent balance of acidity. Hint of oxidation. Maybe a slight hint of oak? |

5/7/2013 - linserge Likes this wine: NRinky, dense, leggy, plum, tobacco, smooth, balanced, long finish, great wine |

2010 Gérard Boulay Sancerre Clos de BeaujeuSauvignon Blanc more |
5/1/2013 - linserge wrote: NRgreat sauv blanc, but I would have expected more refinement for the money. Still tight, drank too young, and not showing as much of the nuance I think will come with bottle age. |

2009 Domaine de la Taille aux Loups Montlouis-sur-Loire Sec Les Dix ArpentsChenin Blanc more |
5/1/2013 - linserge wrote: NRpleasant, easy pairing, a bit of minerality, but overall just a bit disjointed between acidity, RS, and roundness. |

2005 Chanson Père & Fils Nuits St. GeorgesPinot Noir more |
4/29/2013 - linserge Does not like this wine: NRthin, acidic, tasting of dirt rather than earth or terroir |
| White |
2008 Domaine Vrignaud Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume Vieilles VignesChardonnay more |
4/29/2013 - linserge Likes this wine: NRpassable, if not excellent. Somehow flabby, yet leaning austere. Lacking minerality. |

2007 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape La CrauRed Rhone Blend more |
4/26/2013 - linserge Likes this wine: NRFabulous. Muscular, yet balanced, and quite smooth for a ripe year. Winemaking seems to dominate over terroir here? |

4/14/2013 - linserge wrote: NRPrimary, muscular, New World style, not much nuance. Not unpleasant, but wouldn't buy again. |
