There was Alex Gambal tasting in San Francisco.
Alex Gambal is a wine producer from Burgundy.
He is originally from Boston, started to make wine in France as a negocian, and now make wine from his own vineyards, too.
At least some of them are bio dynamic.
Tasting was at La Folie Lounge. It is a casual restaurant with antique-look interior and cozy atmosphere. High-end La Folie Restaurant is right next door.
The space was a little small for this occasion since so many people showed up (Alex Gambal seems popular!), so I couldn't take pictures.
Four whites and three reds:
Aligote 2014 had high acid. Very high.
Saint-Romain 2014
Crisp with ripeness. The texture was round. Chestnut and lime.
Saint-Aubin 1er Cru 2014 had high minerality like oyster shell, and flower.
Puligny-Montrachet 2014 had high but soft acidity. Orchard fruit and yeastiness.
Savigny-Les Beaune 2014 had flowers and ripe cherry with freshness.
Gevrey-Chambertin 2014 had purple flower and purple fruit with savoriness.
Chambolle-Musigny 2014
Coffee and mushroom. Ripe cherry and red rose.
They were all good wines. The price might be a little high, but it's Burgundy.
It wasn't there that day but they have Les Charmes, too.
Hope I'll have a chance to try someday.
