Owner and operator of LGV Consulting, I specialize in helping restaurants and private consumers to create and manage their wine programs.
We help restaurants to elevate their wine program to a level that is in perfect harmony with not only their food, but also their ambiance and, most importantly, their customers. Our goal is to help restaurant owners and their employees to make better decisions about their wine program so they are more focused, better executed and more profitable. Only in this way will wine be able to take its rightful place on the table.
We also help individuals or companies who require a wine program custom designed for their private needs, be it a corporate activity, a dinner for friends or the creation and management of a personal cellar.

2007 Rodney Strong Symmetry

Lots of Bordeaux character here with pepper, cassis and spice all over the place. The nose makes me think ribs with a smoky BBQ sauce. There is a sweet note on the palate with with lots of licorice, thyme and nice tannins. Definitely New World, but in a well done way. Not too sweet or over the top. Great length and lots of ageing potential. Very big.

2007 Rodney Strong Pinot Noir Davis Bynum

Much fruitier than their standard RRV Pinot Noir due to less time on lees and different selection of Pinot clones. Lots of strawberry, red cherry and some plum with notes of Worcestershire sauce and spices. Very fruit forward. I enjoyed this very much, but it must be noted that it was one of the last selections on a long day of tasting. The profile is very much something that would easily please a tired palate.

2008 Rodney Strong Pinot Noir Russian River Valley

Light soft red. Smoky bacon on the nose that comes from the 11 months it spends on lees, followed by red cherry pie with spices on the palate. Darker and more smoky than the Davis Bynum.
