  February 17, 2017 - Next to the '06 Beaucastel Vielles Vignes, the color on this looks quite pale yellow. On the nose I am getting apples. Tastes of tart green apples, very fresh, crisp and lively. Not as heavy as I can often find chards to be, quite energizing and pairing well with the snapper.

  February 17, 2017 - Tampa Spring Break (the second); 2/17/2017-2/19/2017 (Various spots (homes, Mis en Place, Capital Grille)): As most people know, white burgundy is completely lost on me (and generally even a bit wasted). I can tell that it is light on its feet and would be considered pretty for a wine. Get some basil and licorice in there. But the chardonnay characteristics overly predominated.

  December 18, 2015 - Grand Cru Burgundy night with some intruders. Tasting blindly. Many surprises. The first flight was of white with a surprising outsider: Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Sous Le Puits 2010 Henri de Villamont : was excellent with floral notes and a lot of elegance, for most the best white. It was follow by two Corton-Charlemagne a 2010 Henri de Villamont and 2006 from Verget. Both quite different. The first closed and austere. The second, more open and full of fruit. Both young beauties. This flight was closed with another Corton-Charlemagne 2003 Maison Champy's. Completely different from the previous two. It featured clear oxidation notes; controversial, divided opinion; It remember me a Jura wine . The second Flight was of red. Dominique Laurent Clos - Vougeat 2008 were sensational and well evolved; a beautiful premature aging. Henri de Villamont Mazi-Chambertin 2009 is very young and deserves more time in the cellar. Meo Camuzet Clos-Vougeot 2007, another young beauty, with incredible balance. The last wine: Jacques Prieur Chambertin 1999 was a colossus, looking much younger. Starting tertiary notes; maybe 10, 20 years to reach the peak. Amazing. The last flight began with a wine ready to drink: Domaine Arnoux - Lachaux Clos-de-Vougeot 2007. Wonderful. The second wine, was a surprising German wine, Seeger Oberklamn Blauer Spätburgunder GG 2011 that blindly was considered a burgundy and cone of the best of the night. It stunned when its identity was revealed. The third wine was a Domaine Ponsot Clos de la Roche Vielles Vignes 1998 I found faulty by poor maintenance. The last wine was a Drouhin Laroze Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2003 that was very unbalanced with a predominance of very ripe fruit; disappoint, but what to expect from a 2003. In the end, drink blindly, but knowing it was not a Burgundy, one ARPEPE Grumello Buon Consiglio Riserva 2005. It really has a Burgundian character. Intersting, should age well. For me, the best wines were Chambertin 99 Prieur; Clos de Vougeot 2007 Arnaux Lachoux, Laurant Clos de Vougeot and Villamont 2008 Puligny Montrachet.
