  September 6, 2022 - Pretty great viognier. Wow. Sweet, floral nose with crazy minerality. Rich yet not oily with a full palate and dry finish. Maybe the best Condrieu I have ever had. (95)

  April 2, 2022 - Drunk to celebrate 2 day old Madeleine’s homecoming.
  No detailed notes in amongst all the emotion but definitely a wine to remember ! 😊

  February 10, 2021 - [Blind] Savory and a little smoky. Nutty. Exotic spice. Not unduly advanced. Palate is pithy, dry apricot. Seedy, nutty core. More fruit apparent than the 2012 Chateau Grillet in the next glass. Orange citrus. A little oxidative but not obviously / overly. Interesting to try. Very little experience with white Rhone.

  April 8, 2020 - Vernay's 2012 Côteau de Vernon is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with a fragrant bouquet of vine blossom, musky peach, honeysuckle and orange oil that has lost none of its vibrancy for several years of bottle age. Medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, it's satiny and textural while remaining quite lively and fine-boned for the appellation. Elegant and perfumed, it's a beautiful wine that's drinking well today.
