2021 Domaine Thierry Laffay Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons
4/13/2024 - WineArchitect Likes this wine: 93 Points
Tasted in Horseneck W&S at 11:00am when my palate was fresh. The wine was opened on Friday pm and refrigerated overnight. I tasted through the three wines that were opened, the VV, the 1er Cru Vaillons and the Grand Cru Bougros. The Vaillons had the most acidity along with a nice mineral core. The lemon lift and medium straw were present and the wine was quit fresh.

2020 Vergelegen Flagship Range White GVB

Gifted to me by USA Wine Club Member #1 and you know who you are JJM! P’np from from the cellar. Aromatics of lime on the nose leaning towards a higher acid citrus. Lemon lime flavor with a grapefruit finish. Medium to high nose. Medium to high mouthfeel and a solid medium finish. As the wine warms the grapefruit begins to subside. Overall, a delicious wine for shellfish or seafood. I am impressed with this wine not knowing what it retails for before I look online. Unbiased tasting note.

2018 Luis Anxo Rodriguez Vazquez Ribeiro A Torna Dos Pasás Escolma
2/25/2024 - WineArchitect Likes this wine: 94 Points
I tasted this for the first time at Horseneck Wines and Spirits with Greg Rubin and Michael Acheson. This is a very unique wine to say the least!
Popped and poured without decant. Unique terroir of black pepper, black raspberry, smoke and a note of saline which evokes similarities to northern Rhone wine. There is an intoxicating lure to this wine that keeps me coming back to it. A bit more sour cherry on the last aerated sip that brings me back to a Gran Rioja Reserva.
This is a “must” have in the cellar to observe aging potential! This could be my wine of the year!
