Goisot Burgundy Aligoté – 2008 – 9.0 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

Aligoté is quickly upstaged by flashy Chardonnay or white wines with bracing acidity; this wine is somewhere in between–a mid-point acidity.  But Aligoté is nuanced to denote a difference from other white varietals and has a distinction this is in a league of it’s own.  This wine gives welcoming notes of Gala apple giving away quickly to Kiwi and slight hint of Papaya and finishing with white pepper and cake spice.  The scent is delicate–wild flowers and pitted fruit.

¡Salud!

Domaine les Varoilles Clos des Varoilles Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru – 2005 – 9.1 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

Rose petals, dark vitreous coloration, Malabar pepper, mint, eucalyptus, cinnamon, cardamom; a most sensual and delightful Pinot Noir. Burgundies are always anticipated, feared for it’s un-predictable possibilities bottle-to-bottle. It is anxiety, heart-ache, love, blushing, a grounding when good is beyond satisfaction or elation it is elevation on the spiritual realm…. this sounds like love? Doesn’t it?

¡Salud!
