Sip Like A Somm: Krug Grand Cuvee Brut NV

by @wineauxdlynnp

Krug Grand Cuvee Brut NV

There is a moment when sheer glory crosses your path. She delights you. She prickles your lips. She tantalizes. She even offers a garden of flowers, and a basket yellow roses. She stays with you a very long time, long through the decades. She only gives herself to those who have dreamed of her.

Sip Like A Somm: 2011 Lieu Dit Sauvignon Blanc

by @wineauxdlynnp

2011 Lieu Dit Sauvignon Blanc

This homage to old world inspired “sauvy” delivers laser like focus and balance. Fresh lime, kiwi, and apricot with uplifted white roses, ginger and green tea. Made by a great somm in San Francisco, the wines are extremely small production and expressive of Santa Ynez and Happy Canyon terroir.

Sip Like a Somm: 2001 Senorio de P Pecina Reserva Rioja

by @wineauxdlynnp

2001 Senorio de P Pecina Reserva Rioja

I feel now is the time to get into the austere yet mellow, and sometimes confused wines of Rioja. Made from a traditionally thin skinned variety known as Tempranillo, these wines stylistically can take oak for a long time, and a lot of it.
Brooding aromas of coffee and vanilla, followed by notes of stale leather and iron are married with dark red and dried black fruits. A gifted interpretation of one of my favorite Riojas comes in this week at an affordable price.

Sip Like a Somm

2002 Hirsch Riesling “Gaisberg” Kamptal Austria

I’ve often joked the way you spell sommelier is RIESLING, and that will always be true.

The 2002 vintage is one of my favorites from Johannes. With white peach, yellow apple, subtle spices, and a tantalizing layer of still fresh and zingy acidity, this is a Grand Cru that can easily last another 15 years. Don’t be afraid that Rieslings are too sweet, because they can bone dry and ethereal!

Film SOMM Features Dallas Sommelier

by Steven Doyle

We thought you might get a kick out of this clip of a film coming soon. Somm is the story of four Sommeliers attempting to pass the Prestigious Master Sommelier Exam, a test with one of the lowest pass rates in the world.

The exam covers literally anything having to do with the entire world of wine and that is just the beginning. Access to the Court Of Master Sommeliers has always been strictly regulated and cameras have never been allowed anywhere near the exam, until now.

Jump for a sneak preview.         Continue reading →
