L’Extravagant de Doisy-Daëne

Wow. This was a pickup from an Acker lot. I wasn’t sure what to expect. But this wine is delicious, albeit in doses. Maple Syrup like texture and flavor, on top of apricots, peaches, orange marmalade, and creme brûlée. A long finish on the palette, but I found myself reaching for ice water after. I [...]

1987 Jordan Cabernet

I picked up this bottle of 1987 Jordan Cabernet about a month ago. I was looking for 1987 wines (it’s my birth year) and got this for about $55. Zero expectations going into this and had a back up bottle ready in case this was a sink dumper. The full level was reassuring, and it [...]

I built a wine vintage reference app after years of frustration with what’s out there

Ive worked in wine (sommelier) for around 5 years now. I still often get caught out by a vintage I don’t know well enough. Googling the vintage usually gives you an outdated chart with Parker scores, a paywalled article, maybe a forum post from 2013; nothing part…

Lafite 1986

Château Lafite Rothschild 1986 A plush yet firmly structured wine, still driven by its tannic backbone. It required a full three hours in the decanter to begin revealing its depth and complexity. Some slight bottle variation was noticeable, hardly surprising for a wine of this age. While already impressive, it feels as though it is [...]

Wine bar in Lyon – François Chidaine tasting Les Tuffeaux 2019

Tasting at Cave des Voyageurs in Lyon 5th area, one of the best wine bar in town especially if you are looking for old vintages. Tasting notes: a very refined semi-dry Chenin, more elegant than powerful, named after its cellar. 12 g/L of residual sugar, barely noticeable thanks to its r…

Hosted my first tasting over the weekend!

First time hosting, first time posting notes. Still pretty new to wine but have been enjoying white Burgundy so I had some friends over to share a couple of bottles. The idea was to have a regional and 4 village wines, one from each sub-region. Shoutout to u/rightanglerecording for the Saint-Veran recommendation! — **Bruno Dangin [...]
