Cave des Vins de Sancerre – Les Chaillots 2024
I’m firmly of the opinion there are more Mormon Missionaries who have seen the inside of a stripclub than I have. I say that as in my three decades of strip club entrance ‘opportunity’, I’ve been into a total of one. Growing in up in the US and hearing Al Bundy on Married with Children talk up the “Nudie Bars”, I was, like many, raised on the premise that these bastions of female objectivization were something all true red-blooded males would surely enjoy.

While I only originally took the break to clear my head, I ended up needing sinus surgery, which basically meant I couldn’t drink wine for the entire month […]

December Wine Reviews: A Tour de France to Wrap a Wild Year of Wine Reviewing
Notes on the Rhône, Beaujolais, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, the Loire – and beyond. When I started this little wine-reviewing experiment in January, I really had no idea where it would take me.
