A Repeat Winner

I must sound like a broken record with this wine. Here’s the review of the 2007. And the 2006.  But really, it is my absolutely favorite Michel Schlumberger wine year to year. Of course….I don’t drink the Cabernet Sauvignon in my club shipments because I’m gathering a 10 year vertical to serve….well, it will have [...]

Blanck Blanc

The first wine I chose for our hiking/riding/communing with nature trip was the 2007 Paul Blanck Pinot Blanc.  Now, I love Pinot Blanc.  Michel Schlumberger makes my favorite one currently.  The Paul Blanck clocked in at 12.5% alcohol by volume, had a screw cap closure, and cost me $9.99 at the wine shop near work.  [...]

Wine of the Night

The first wine in the line up of the Twitter Taste Live Open That Bottle Night was a 2005 Marc Kreydenweiss Kritt Pinot Blanc.  I unabashedly love Pinot Blanc.  I’ve yet to meet one I don’t like.  So it wasn’t much of a surprise to me that I enjoyed the Pinot Blanc the most of [...]

The wine had a real cork closure and clocked in at 12.8% alcohol by volume. Pizza and white wine probably represent one of my least elegant wine and food pairings, [...]

Pinot Blanc. From Connecticut!

On the nose I found pineapple, tropical fruit, lemon, and minerals. In the mouth, apple showed through the most (odd because I [...]

Great Summer White

We got this bottle of 2006 Michel Schlumberger Pinot Blanc on our recent trip to the Sonoma area. It was a perfect wine for the night we drank it, the thermometer was hovering around 92 degrees, but thankfully the humidity had not yet descended upon us. The wine had a real cork closure, cost $21, [...]

Back on Track

I’ve been off visiting the fam in CT for the past few days, so I apologize for my lack of posting! The dial-up there is not so conducive to even using the internet, let alone doing anything else on it. On Thursday (see, I told you I had a backlog of posts!) we went out [...]
