Jean-Michel Deiss Foot-Treading his Pinot Noir in Bergheim, Alsace



Please, oh lord, let him be wearing a speedo or something under there! 😲

2007 Produttori del Barbaresco Ovello Riserva

 This showed just flat out elegant and delicious. Probably the most refined Ovello I've ever had... lighter in color, clear ruby translucence in the glass.. a joy to drink.... still good to cellar for another few years but I think it's at peak now. I love these wines. 

2004 Calera Pinot Noir Jensen Vineyard (Mt. Harlan)

 Interesting,  but a ponderous (not uplifting fruit) finish for this particular bottle... glad I had a chance to try it... pretty good paired with BBQ sandwich and greens... 

It's just not elegant, really...
