Frenchies at Young Joni: Light gold plus color. Drank a glass plus over an hour plus. Quite lovely; ultra fine bubbles, sea air, confectionary, toffee, green orchard fruit, earthy, mushroom on the nose. The palate follows through with toffee, almond paste, pear, green apple peel, and lemon. Elegant as always with marine minerality.

Off the list at Arzak. In a fantastic spot with so much concentration, richness and toasty, chalky fruit. Love the ripe fruit laced with brioche. Long, substantial finish.

Saturday hangout at Domaine (Chicago, IL): A little easy-going with the dosage seeming to stick out a little here, in an already tricky chardonnay vintage. Feels less fresh than I would really like for a blanc de blancs, and there's more of a creamy, autolytic texture here. I wish this had a little more acid, and all else equal, I'd rather have the 2007 of this.

In a perfect spot right now but I don’t suspect there’s much improvement ahead. Lovely sparkler.
