2005 de Villaine "La Digoine” Bourgogne Cote Chalonnaise
What a pretty wine. Delicate, with fresh berries, floral notes, and some light smoked meat notes. Not super long, but really a treat considering where it hails from. B+
Thursday duck breast in a honey/mustard/olive sauce, pasta, and salad
2006 Arcadian “Dierberg” Pinot Noir (Santa Maria)
I think of Arcadian as restrained for CA, but this comes across as very ripe and a little hot (says 13.8%, would have guessed more). Kirsch, ripe plum, a touch of cow patty. Holding on but this is a bit disappointing. B-/C+
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
