    With teriyaki salmon, soba, sesame broccoli, salad
    2022 Ch. de Pampelonne rose (Cotes de Provence)
    Light salmon color, light strawberry and melon fruit, good acids, but a bit thin. B-/B
    Veal with sage, fettuccine with a fresh tomato sauce, green beans, and salad 2019 Vallepicciola Chianti Classico
    Come across as a bit hot (says 14% abv), ripe red plum and cherry, not very long, not reason to rebuy this. B-/C+
    Oysters, tuna steaks, corn, roast hakurei turnips with miso, salad
    2014 Pepiere Briords Muscadet
    Superb, snappy backbone, saline/oystershell over tart lemon, A-
    2021 Clos de la Roilette Fleurie
    Raspberry and cranberry, herby, nice, but a little muted compared to bottle a few months ago, maybe beginning to shut down a little? B/B+
    Roast chicken with celeriac, radish greens, burrata caprese, salad
    2010 Bize aux Guettes Savigny-les -Beaune 1er
    Mostly I avoid opening 2010s, but I stumbled across this in cellar just after reading RahsaanrCOs notes on 2010 Pavelot. And success! Rich red and black cherry fruit, smoke, cocoa. Balanced acids, firm but easy tannins, young but very tasty. B+/A-
    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.
