The second of two: a little rough around the edges after opening: evident black currant and blackberry, very earthy, somewhat harsh tannins. Dulce unimpressed: but this is Pomerol! Or at least a degree to it. After three days much softened and approachable. Augurs well for the future.

2016 Maison Camu Fils Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume

I opened this in honor of the chabliens and chabliennes whose lives were devastated by the recent horage. We entered their tasting room near the bridge as an excuse for Dulcie to use the rest room. We enjoyed some wine and bought a couple into the bargain. This has aged well: pleasant golden straw color, floral perfumed aroma, lovely mouthfeel, creamy, citrus, probably a bigger wine than I might expect, though oak is used here.

Not especially remarkable, but a solid, well-balanced effort at a reasonable price, again sourced at Costco. It is just not possible to obtain a really good pinot noir at a low price but this one does better than most. Juicy, dark cherry fruit, mild tannins, not much length.

Not to trouble you, I just found that Pinot Noir tasting note so funny and on point that I read it out loud to the sales rep pitching it. I also know Thief down in Milwaukee as well (although I am a competitor so I don't go there that much!).

We are heading to Chicago (Wicker Park Inn B&B) in a few weekends to hang with some friends from our days living near Napa (their first time in The Windy Town). We may bring a Healdsburg or Amador County gem with us. Understanding the likelihood is slim, all the way around, it'd be great to connect with any of our CT wine friends while so close to your domicile... Not putting dates on a public post, but email is DetroitSuns at G mail if you'd like to reach out for a possible dinner or wine sharing or something... Marcus & Ana. Noroc!
