Last Rhone event of the season before every one takes off for their quieter summer. Great to have Jean Luc with us and sharing stories about the wines and fun to see everyone again as we've been making more like every other dinner now that we live down in Florida.

Always fun to get to try a producer you don't spend much time with. We found a few older bottles and one of the less common offerings and so decided to bring those to get to compare with some of the other wines. Fun to share around with the team.
Fun to try the bonus bottles which shows how much age can help. Also fun to try the smaller vineyard project. Even though it was still young there is a lot there. A nice evening with friends.
2018 Jean-Luc Colombo Condrieu Amour de Dieu
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Condrieu
Pre-dinner sipper with some passed apps. We had made the mistake of walking to the venue and so I found myself more focused on water than on wine in the beginning so take these notes with a grain of salt. It's a slightly more standard style of Condrieu. A bit of honey. Touch of stone fruit. Lower acid. Easy drinking.
