Citrus roasted salmon, rice with nori, roast cauliflower, and salad
2019 Lambert Chinon Rose Light, crisp, crunchy red fruit, good value. BSausage roasted with grapes
2018 Guion Cuvee Domaine Bourgueil Juicy dark fruits, touch of green herbs, nice glou glou style of Chinon. BHalloween night Betsy made bouillabaisse, which we ate watching door (we gave out 60+ bags, pretty good for Covid!).
2019 Baudry Chinon Rose Like previous bottles- nicely stony, with bright fruit and solid acids. B+Cold and rainy Sunday we had another couple over, our first indoor dinner guests since the first week of March. We moved dining table to face doorway, set them a table in living room, had windows open and a pair of fans removing air between us.

1991 Peter Lauer Riesling Sekt Reserve Gentle pop, but plenty of fizz left. Citrus, earth/peat moss, flowers, Quite fun! B+/A-2015 Raul Perez Palomino (?Valdecanada). Peach, some oxidative notes, musky . Others liked much more. B-/C+
2011 Fevre ?Les Clos? Chablis GC Fresh (Diam 10), citrus and apple, apple blossom, seashorey minerality, yum, A-/B+2002 Montevetrano Brawny, some tannin, black plum and mocha. B
1998 Laffite-Teston Madiran Modest fruit (blackcurrant & plum), some slightly raspy tannins still, moderate acid, some light green notes. Alive but not so fun, reminds me of a mediocre cool vintage Medoc. B-/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 party where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
