Turkeychili, salad


2003 de Fieuzal Blanc Previous bottle solid if unexciting, this bottled totally premoxed. D


2018 Patrick Lambert Chinon VV I was in the right place, but it must have been the wrong time. There’s some blackberry fruit and earth, but this is a tightly wrapped wine that seems to me to really want to go back to bed and wake up in a few years. Perfectly fine with dinner, but I think this has real upside. B for now



No wine Monday with sauteed shrimp finished with a “Ceviche” sauce (lime, orange, shallot, cilantro)



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.
