Sunday- oysters, pan roasted black sea bass with thyme butter, honeynut squash, baked anise, salad
2020 Piuze Terroir de Courgis. A little softer than I expected, unsure if vintage character, but nice Fuji apple meets mineral profile, clean finish, just a little round. B
Tuesday - butternut squash soup with kale and red onion, and the 2019 Vollenweider Wolfer Goldgrube Riesling Kabinett Betsy thought a good matching choice, I thought a little sweet with the sweet soup. Peach and tropical fruit, more rich than vervy, but nice slatey finish, B/B+
Wednesday- Cumin pork chops, broccoli with Colatura di alici , sweet potato, and arugula salad, with the
2014 Lapierre Morgon. I?ve had ups and downs with Lapierre, but this is balanced and in a very nice place. Red and black cherries, spice, just a hint of merde. Bright acids, good length, 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 consistency.
