2020 Domaine de Vaccelli Ajaccio BlancVermentinu, Vermentino more |
5/3/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRI have never been to Corsica, and will probably never get a chance to visit there, but I do love Vaccelli's wines. This is his entry level Vermentino and it's dry & crisp and totally refreshing. A perfect Summer white. |

2004 Michel & Stéphane Ogier Côte-Rôtie Cuvée la Belle HélèneSyrah more |
5/1/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRMy first time trying this producer, and I am definitely enjoying this. Great acidity, fresh fruit - blind, there is no way I would call this a 20 year old wine. |

2019 Pian dell'Orino Rosso di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
4/28/2024 - Bob H wrote: 95 pointsMy first time trying this wine in this vintage. Medicinal notes and cherry fruit on the nose. Expansive yet structured on the palate. This feels like it’s going to age well, but it’s drinking nicely now, so not sure I will be able to actually defer my gratification. Very good. |

2019 Loersch Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Jungheld GG trockenMosel Saar Ruwer more |
4/28/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRThere was some discussion at last night’s dinner regarding exactly which GG bottling from Loersch we were drinking, but the label on the bottle was certainly consistent with the label pictured here, so I believe this is the bottle we consumed. |

1993 Roagna Barolo Riserva La Rocca e La PiraNebbiolo more |
4/28/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRI would agree with Dave Mosko’s comments (we drank this at dinner last night). I would say this was the best bottle of this I’ve ever drank. I gave it about a three hour decant before the dinner, and it showed very well next to the Vietti (and was a great match for the Rigatoni Bolognese). |

2022 Castellare di Castellina Chianti ClassicoChianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
4/25/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRMy first time trying this vintage, and I’m enjoying this. Herbs and red fruit on the nose, good acidity on the palate, and pretty tasty. Not the most complex wine, but an honest, true to form, Chianti Classico. |

2023 Goodfellow Family Cellars Pinot Noir Rosé Willamette Valleymore |
4/23/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRJust delivered today, this is a mid-weight rose' that is pretty deelish. Something for knocking back a glass or three on the deck this Spring (I only bought six, so mine will definitely not make it to summertime). |

2021 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon RoséCabernet Franc more |
4/22/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRVery nice - while I don't have a lot of experience with Baudry's rose', having only tasted three vintages, these do strike me as one of the more interesting wines to age in this category. |

2021 Kelley Fox Wines Chardonnay Lark Block Durant VineyardDundee Hills more |

2021 Daniel & Julien Barraud Pouilly-Fuissé En Buland Vieilles VignesChardonnay more |
4/17/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRVery nice. I will admit that I normally prefer the Les Crays or Sur La Roche when it comes to Barraud's wines, but the Buland is very good in this vintage, with a strong streak of minerality that is hard to ignore. Good acidity & persistence, and quite a nice glass of Chardonnay. |

2021 Kelley Fox Wines Chardonnay Dux VineyardDundee Hills more |
4/17/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRMy 3rd note on this wine - I can't recall if I've actually drunk any others previously without bothering to post a note. At any rate, one of the things that I personally enjoy about wine consumption is the ability to track a wine through it's various stages of evolution. When I look at my previous two notes, it's obvious that this wine is showing a lot more structure at this point - perhaps on earlier looks, it was buried by the wine's "baby fat". |

2020 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Blanc La Croix BoisséeChenin Blanc more |
4/17/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRMy last bottle of this, and I have to admit that this wine has grown on me. And that is despite some bottle variation. A complex white that has been fun to watch as it has evolved, I would definitely buy this again. Saline notes on the nose, not overly flashy on the palate but something that satisfies - no shock & awe in this glass. |

2022 Walter Scott Chardonnay Cuvée AnneWillamette Valley more |
4/12/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRMy first time checking this new vintage out for this wine. As is often the case with Walter Scott Chardonnays, reductive notes on the nose. I would call it mildly reductive, but I will caveat that by saying that I don't mind some reduction on the nose in Chardonnay, so you might find this to be more noticeable. 2 people found this helpful, do you?

4/10/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRJust a gorgeous Chianti - I bought six, and I might have to get more. I think my last note I was pairing this with some Parmigiana Reggiano. Tonight I’m having it with some sharp Provolone, so it is “cheese-flexible” 😜🍷👍 |

2022 Domaine Michel Mallard & Fils Bourgogne BlancChardonnay more |
4/9/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRI’m having a glass from a bottle opened two nights ago, and my concerns with my earlier tasting note are still relevant here regarding the lack of any real mid-palate presence. Pleasant enough, but lacking anything that makes me sit up and take notice. |

3/28/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRI just had a glass of the Lamerose village wine, and this is a notable step up. Lightly reductive on the nose, it spreads out on the palate but also shows some structure and acidity. I like this a lot. |

2010 Montenidoli Sono Montenidoli Toscana IGTSangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
3/24/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRTruly in the zone, and it has been for a while. Sweet & sour cherry fruit on the palate with copious acidity and great persistence. Hard to imagine this getting any better, but given how stellar it has been for the past five or so years, who’s to say that it doesn’t have another gear left. I will be drinking my remaining bottles in the near term, as I just love where this wine is right now. |
