Encounter with Wine Makers

We usually like to drink wine at home.
This way, we can try to pair with different foods and watch winemaker's interview on YouTube.

However, life needs occasional change, so we went to nearby wine bar.
Luckily JC found wines he'd wanted to try and ordered three glasses of wine.


Pascal Clement Les Evocelles Gevrey Chambertin 2012
Dried plum, anise and sandalwood.
Soft tannin and delicate texture. Lovely wine!

Barroul Lynch La Pierrelle Hermitage 2014
This wine is the collaboration between Louis Barroul and Kermit Lynch.
Strawberry, coffee beans, smoke.
Not very complex, but very good wine.


Domaine Joseph Roty Cote de Nuits Villages 2014
Fresh tart fruit, dried meat, leather.
Decent wine with gentle tannin.

There were two gentlemen on the same counter.
They make their own wine so we talked about making wine at home (although their wine making method was much more sophisticated than my kitchen wine).
As they left the shop, they gave us their wine!

Red Shed Wine Dunnigan Hills AVA Petit Syrah 2015
Vibrant fruits were balanced with oak. Good wine!

There lies huge difference between hobby kitchen wine and hobby serious wine... my kitchen wine tasted more like cider than wine...
I wish I could make wine like this.
