Introduction

Mixed bag, the Chablis was quite good as was the Mercurey. The two Bourgueils were excellent values, as was the one Barbera

Simple sweet and innocuous with a slight bitter edge. Drinkable but ...

Honeysuckle nose, mild (low) acidity, clean slight sweet, easy finish. Fairly classic, but for me not my favorite without more acidity. However it really works with Indian food.

A more classic wood fermented and aged style, very nice, with a lovely finish. Pricey but nice.

2019 Wohlmuth Riesling Dr. Wunsch Austria, Styria, Südsteiermark

The nose is quite vague, but this wine shines in the mouth. A very nice full bodied white wine but there is nothing about it that speaks of of Riesling to me. That said it would still be lovely with fall sausage meal.

2018 Domaine de la Chanteleuserie Bourgueil Cuvée Beauvais France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Bourgueil
91 points
Really attractive and full, need to do a side by side with the same vintage of Alouettes, but this is a lovely wine.

2019 Mauro Molino Langhe Nebbiolo Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Langhe DOC

Nice texture and quite drinkable as fresh lighter red, but there were nicer values in this lineup.

2019 Faiveley Mercurey Vieilles Vignes France, Burgundy, Côte Chalonnaise, Mercurey
91 points
Great bacon fat, sour cherry nose. Equally attractive in the mouth. Some aging potential and a price that is not cheap but within reason. Sold
