TN: Soave, Burgs, Etna, rose
n unexpectedly social week, a former neighbor was in town and we hosted a small dinner party with other neighbors, and then had Betsys sister join us next night.
Cooking wine was 2015 Anselmi San Vincenzo . This almost Soave had nice melon and lemon flavors, a touch of straw and nuts, just a little rounder than Id like but good value. B- With seafood risotto, kale/feta salad, 2014 Adalia Soave Light, nutty/almondy, touch of grass, bright. B/B- 2014 Terre Nere Etna Rosso Base bottling. Crisp red fruits, bright, fresh. Gets herby with air. Nice value B+ I shucked some oysters 2014 Barat Mont de Milieu Chablis 1er (375) Crisp, saline, good value. B I picked up some black garlic, used with a lot of assorted mushrooms to make a pasta sauce, along with a greens/avocado salad 2015 Hudelot-Noellat Bourgogne Cherries, cranberries and smoke, good acids, touch of tannin. Good but could use a little cellar time. B Rose in winter? Sure, with chicken bouillabaisse (aka Provencal chicken) 2016 La Bastide Blanche Bandol rose is a bunch of strawberries with herbs on top. Fun and fresh. B+ 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 consisten |
