  • 2009 Domaine Georges Vernay Condrieu Coteau de Vernon

    3/20/2024 - OenoEd Likes this wine: 93 Points

    On the list at R’evolution in NOLA at $325. Short decant , then paired with snapping turtle soup and hard boiled quail eggs. Paired well, both funky, earthy, and rich . Mashing the eggs into the soup highlighted the apricot skin and the aged yolkiness of the viognier’s flavor profile. Held up through 2 hours , again showed nicely w crisped sablefish, yellow rice,pickled onions and fennel fronds. Should provide great pleasure with careful pairings for another 5-7 years; sherried notes will overun acidity soon after.

  • 2021 Morgen Long Chardonnay Durant

    8 mos since my last note on this, very consistent, but at this slightly young and awkward stage, showing more musk, patchouli, white pepper and new oak than my last bottle. I do believe this will be two points better in two or three years. Will drink Marine until then , his pink chardonnay for fun and with salmon, and Seth’s impressive XOmni until this comes together. Worked with fresh stone crabs tonight; anything would have, but I was quietly longing for the salinity and minerality of Marine.

  • 2021 Morgen Long Chardonnay Seven Springs Vineyard

    Lime zest , lees, and volcanic basalt from start to finish. Plenty of acidity to balance the Lafon Puligny like richness, and Seth never lets oak dominate his wines. Im sad that the gorgeous fruit for this has been taken by Evening Land , and that Seven Springs wont be produced by Morgen Long again anytime soon. Long finish with chalk dust and mandarin. I think this vintage will drink beautifully for at least 10 years. It did benefit from a half hour decant tonight, and paired beautufully with crisped sweetbreads , capers, Italian butter, and sablefish braised in tangerine juice, miso, ginger and sweet soy. (Surf and Turf!)

    1/11/2024 9:14:00 PM - Ed, it was a pleasure meeting you last night. I very much value your input as a chef with your vast food experience. The greatest weakness I have with wines is pairing with food. Yes, it's easy to say a Harlan or Del Dotto needs a steak but my palate with Italy, Spain and Burgundy leaves a lot to be desired as does my knowledge of food to pair with those wines. I cook 3 things at home and that's it.....pretty sad. On the flip side, both my sons cook pretty much every meal for their families. They could run circles around me in the kitchen! Cheers!
