  February 18, 2023 - Ski trip - Four wino familes; 2/17/2023-2/20/2023 (WISP Resort): Light color. Medium expressive nose displaying sweet yellow fruit, lemon curd, yellow peach, apple peel, orange zest, cream, strong coriander seed, honey, spicy spices and mineral. Very good concentration, nicely layered concentrated sweet yellow fruit, rich and oily, bright acidity, good mineral presence and a medium to long sweet yellow fruit driven finish. The coriander seed note is very noticeable. It seems sweet and richer than a few years back.

  December 23, 2017 - Holiday lunch with many magnums (Black Salt): A disappointment, showing excessively evolved color and taste and lacking verve on the palate. Almost past due; if you have any of these vintages, drink up!

  July 13, 2017 - Maison Bras (Roederer, Lafon, Mission, Barral...) (Aubrac, Laguiole, France): N'étant pas un grand fan du viognier, je suis d'autant plus content de l'avoir beaucoup apprécié.
  Nez incroyable sur la pêche de vigne, belle trame acide en bouche, pas fatigant, parfait en accompagnement d'un foie gras de canard poêlé.

  April 1, 2017 - HDH Burgundy Auction (Chicago, IL): Ok, this is actually pretty incredible. The nose is simply brilliant. It's almost a volatilized young riesling nose, with plenty of sweet white fruit and florals. The palate shows lots of the same, but it's not as thick or rich as the nose would imply.

  June 25, 2016 - Gorgeous nose displaying perfectly ripe yellow peach, apricot, lemon candy, orange zest, banana, a hint of coconut, rose, saline and mineral. Excellent concentration, quite airy and cotton candy like which I get from the top Condrieus, vibrant and precise palate, bright acidity, strong presence of mineral and lovely long cool finish. This is absolutely delightful. The perfect wine for a cool summer night.
