TN: Loire, Saar, Savigny (blanc), more
Tuesday was rainy, for our first indoor dinner in a week we had cod braised in a chipotle/chickpea broth with kale, wine was the 2013 Zilliken Ockfener Bockstein Kabinett. Bright, lime popsicle with floral notes, sweet but with racy acids. B+
Last night was a lovely summer eve, we went to weekly concert at Estherwood, carrying lobster/tarragon salad, sauteed romanesco, duck, canteloupe, and sopressata. Friends shared ceviche, slaw, and more. We all shared wine as well (and one good cider which I neglected to note) 2007 Cazin Cour-Cheverny Lovely, a pointe, fresh saline and lemon flavors, nice finish. B+/A- 2012 L'Escart (Cotes des Bdx) 100% cab franc, some plum and tobacco, a bit unripe, green and a little short. Others liked C+/B- 2013 Trimbach Riesling Dry, snappy, tart grapefruit. B 2006 Chapoutier Meysonniers Crozes-Hermitage Overripe Syrah, a bit stewed, no apparent oak at least. Others liked. C+ 2007 Bize "les Vergelesses" Savigny-les-Beaune 1er No oxidation, fresh and lively. Citrus, green apple, earth and the lightest hintmof hazelnut. Full, long, great match with the lobster. A-/B+ 2014 Pepiere "La Pepie" Rose Dark color, fresh berries, herby, fun. Not complicated, but who needs complicated rose? B 2014 L'Enclos Rose (Cotes de Gascogne) Light, a little soft, innocuous. B-/C+ Fun fun night Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency. |
