Community Tasting Note

    August 11, 2015 - What was awesome about this wine was that I bought it at a hipster wine store in Williamsburg (not hating) for like $40 on the recommendation of the bearded and enthusiastic employee ("like aged white Burgundy") (not hating) and then when I opened it with Seth and we were both hoping for aged riesling nirvana-like transcendence the wine was corked so I brought it back to the store the next day and exchanged it for some Clos du Rouge Gorge and a super French hipster natural wine (not hating) that was only $10 when I knew it was usually about twice that and which upon opening had so much dissolved CO2 that it took at least 4 or 5 Mollydooker Shakes™ to get rid of the annoying carbonic prickle (hating) and which still wasn't that great.
