  Don & The Shrimpheads (Craig & Nita's Place): Light gold color. Drank a glass over an hour plus in mini vertical of '05, '10, and '12. This was my favorite of a really enjoyable trio. Steely and bright on both the nose and palate, ocean airm limestone, white flowers and slate comes through on the nose. The palate is almost bracing with the brisk acid and striking minerality, tart lemon and more subtle Cara Cara orange. Great purity and precision. Loved it. 95+pts.

  Local Minneapolis Chef extraordinaire Don Saunders cooked for 8 Shrimpheads at my place. We highly recommend hiring Don to cook for in home events! Siggy's btl. Siggy generously brought 2 vintages tonight. No complaints about that! This was paired with David's '12 Dauvissat Preuses w/ our Halibut course. PnP so started out a bit taunt then continued to unfurl nicely in the glass. All those classic Chablis markers w/ Dauvissat's signature roundness. Very enjoyable. Too bad Dauvissat has sky rocked in cost and become impossible to source locally which was once easy-peasy at remarkably good pricing when I was still acquiring them myself. Such a pleasure to have 3 of them with our meal tonight! 94+

  There is a huge mineral laser like potency under the surface here in the nose but it’s showing somewhat muted. Some shells, and florals. Lemon and tight and lotse of citrus. The end palate into the finish is really powerful and briney and delicous. This clearly wasn’t showing at the level of bottles from some other reviewers. It felt like it was holding a lot back. But still very good. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 5.5/6, Finish - 1-1.5/2 = 16.5-17/20.
  
  Day 6: Nose is golden and green. Lots of minerals and some salty popcorn. Something like green herbs or mint - Crisp & crunchy. Hints or white florals but not a lot of fruit now. Almost brothy with hints of kumquats. Very savory and nutty now. Good focus and definitely potent - almost reminds me of a Lopez T blanco at this point. Some oxidation. Long nutty and saline finish.

  A Summer Giacosa Dinner (Spinasse, Seattle): Medium yellow. Iodine and algal tones. Medium weight. Fluid, brothy, and complex, but not a razor edge Chablis due to only moderate acidity. Round and long with fruit more in the pear than citrus register. Improved constantly as it opened. Excellent.

  Absolutely incredible is the 2010 Preuses with an intense nose of citrus, sesame, and algae — the latter a quality I often find in Dauvissat's Preuses with age. Concentrated palate with citric and floral flavors, lingering finish, excellent.
