Promised a rec or 2 cuz your Beaujolais to Lambrusco swing unlocked four. Two Oregon Pinots and two minerally whites. Also since you know ball, who wins the World Cup?
Oregon Pinot:
- Antica Terra from Eola-Amity
- Domaine Drouhin Laurène from Dundee Hills Minerally whites:
- Stéphane Bernaudeau Les Coqueries
- Peter Lauer Riesling Sekt
Oregon Pinot is Maggie Harrison for me. If you ever see Antica Terra from Eola-Amity, especially as an Etna lover, that’s the one I’d chase: salinity, tension, tannins, full Ratatouille mouse moment. Not cheap, annoyingly worth it.
But Dundee Hills is the home answer. Domaine Drouhin Laurène is my “wait, this clears the $200 Burgundy?” bottle.
for minerally white:
Stéphane Bernaudeau Les Coqueries is the dream Chenin Blanc for me. Every time I drink it, it shows me something new. If I see it, I buy it.
Riesling wise, Peter Lauer stole my heart. His sparkling Riesling is under $50 & its absurd: not Champagne fizz, more this gentle cut through the richness, with insane minerality. I’d bet my left shoe he becomes one of those “I used to buy this before it got impossible” producers. plus everything he touches is liquid gold.
I’ve only had a few Swiss Pinots, but what stuck with me was that they carried more fruit and weight than I expected for Pinot, while still having that Alpine lift and structure. Not saying they taste like Alto Adige Pinot Nero or Valtellina, more that the texture and sense of place hit a similar nerve. What do you like most about Ruch or Bonnet du Fou?
@joshpuckett aggh how do you go from Beaujolais to Lambrusco I completely understand. you unlock a rec or 2 from me. I was trying to be zesty with that rude question but you won me over.
@Sprcube@designbyaron No sleep till Fableis gone. have to distill all of it. Every turn. When i sleep run it in a loop benchmarking it for peak efficiency.
