TODAY'S FEATURED WINE

Lewis Perdue's Rating of Lagier Meredith: Mondeuse: Mount Veeder - Napa Valley - California: : 2012: United States

Verily I say, my head nearly exploded when I tasted this at the 2015 Auction Napa Valley!

Inky deep, meaty, peppery, stiff backbone like a Buckingham Palace guard, and big in all the ways that light up my palate like a First Encounter of the wine kind.

Mondeuse is rarer in the US than a UFO ... and uncommon outside of the French region of Savoie. $42 at the winery.

Gotta rig up a tractor beam and get me some!

 HEADS UP!

Lew is sick of wasting most of his wine dollars on stuff he pours down the drain.

Will Buy No Wine Before He's Tried 'Em

So, for now on, Lew is not going to buy anything he has not tasted first.

Lew doesn't get many tasting samples, so this new direction means that you will see an increase in the number of different wines he buys from a single winery.

You can click this link to check out Lewis Perdue’s misfit wine palate.

REVIEW POLICY:

The old review policy still holds -- For winery tasting samples, gifts from friends or family or samplings at a party or event, review it truthfully, but only if I like it. If I have paid my own very-hard-earned money on a bottle, the gloves are off and it gets what it deserves ... whether perfect or puerile.
