Jean-Marc Burgaud Morgon Grans Cras – Beaujolais, France.  “The 2019 Morgon Grand Cras offers up a rich bouquet of licorice, blackberries and cherries, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping palate built around ripe, powdery tannins and succulent acids. Derived from 55-year-old vines planted in clay-rich alluvial soils, it saw 12 days of maceration followed by 10 months of élevage in cement tank.” (Parker’s Wine Advocate).  Pairs Well: with Salmon, Artic Char, Roast Pork Tenderloin, and Mousse Truffé.

Domaine de la Rectorie Cote Mer – Roussillon, France.

They farm 10 hectares of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, mostly in Mercurey.  François is now among the very best producers of the Cote Chalonnaise.  This classic red Burgundy wine is made from vines over 60 years old, producing lighter yields, but highly concentrated fruit, resulting in Pinot Noir of deep plum and dark cherry fruit around a core of led-pencil and granite.  Pairs Well: with wild mushrooms, seared tuna, roasted salmon, goat cheese, and chicken or rabbit with a mustard sauce. 

Loersch Glimmerschiefer Riesling Feinherb – Mosel, Germany.  This sparkling, fresh Riesling is made from young vines grown in gray slate soil, producing a flinty wine with great acidity and aromatic Honeycrisp apple and Bartlett pear fruit.  A spicy, vibrant wine that

It’s not over til the hummingbirds leave, I guess. They are still hanging around in our yard as the summer starts its wrap-up party. It’s been a joy to have them around but I imagine it won’t be for much longer, so I will enjoy them while I can until next year.
