    Friday oysters, halibut roasted with orange, couscous, and salad. I remember the days I could afford Sauzet, Ramonet, or Roulot 1ers. Now I am thrilled to get 2019 Roulot Bourgogne Blanc under $60 Pear, apple and citrus blossom, fleshy without being flabby, nice balance. Gets a little hazelnut edge with air. Really fine. B+
    We had been talking about steak, but roasted a chicken instead (with pimenton cauliflower and potatoes on side), I stuck to my steak wine. 2012 Edmunds St John Fenaughty Syrah surprised me with the sweet quality of the fruit, but once I got over surprise I quite enjoyed the wine. Blackberry and blackcurrant, earth, a little gamebird. Complex and balanced, very nice length. IrCOm sad this might be my only bottle. A-/B+
    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.

    Coincidentally (perhaps) Rahsaan brought a bottle of this wine to my
    jeeb dinner in Jersey City. Yes, the sweet fruit was a shock, as was
    the openness of the wine. It still had plenty of structure, and got
    more savory as the evening wore on, but a very unusual showing for an
    ESJ Syrah.

    Not really a coincidence, you mentioned it and spurred me to open!
