Couple scorching days, but we decided to brave heat to go to final park con cert of summer (a tribute to Charlie Parker). In the shade there was a stea dy breeze off the river, and we weren’t uncomfortable at all. Capre se, charcuterie, lobster salad, and a rift on Nicoise (beans, potatoes, sea red tuna, olives).
NV JP Brun (Terres Dorees) FRV100 Frothy, nice sweetness (not as much as say Bugey Cerdon). Good with pignoli salami- a bit like Lambrusco, but not as tannic. Cherries, Sweet-tarts, ci nnamony spice. Fun and different. B/B+
2017 Chevrot “ Sakura” Bourgogne rose Very light and floral, bright, name is appropriate, all cherry and cherry b lossom. Tangy finish. B2013 Domaine du Pere Caboche Vaucluse Rose Date is not a typo. Wine saved by a person who only likes reds, saved for h is wife, who only drinks whites. Not actually oxidized, just incredibly fla t and dull. C 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 p arty where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivi ty, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
