This is still a work in progress as I upload tasting notes and wine labels from as far as 1999... Check back once in a while to get the updates.

French Chard and Beringer Cabs

Drinks at La Cabane Wine Bistro.

2015 Tony Bornard Le Chardo Gai - pretty ripe on palate, with some acidity at the same time. Flinty, slightly pungent from sulfur.

Dinner at Neighborhood.

2012 Dujac Morey Saint-Denis Blanc - beautiful and toasty nose, sweet and buttery.  Light and crispy on the palate when served very cold.  Later on some green bell pepper on the nose.

1989 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve - nice and fruity but not too ripe, with a hint of smoke.  Nice acidity here and slightly lean on the palate. 

1990 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve - more Bordeaux-like, with some sweet fruit and a little smoke.  More tannic than the 1989.

2002 Chateau Musar Red - much smoother than expected on the palate.  Nice and minty, with good fruit.

Full post on dinner is here.
