Godeval Cepas Vellas Godello 2019, from Valdeorras in Galicia.
I was wholly ignorant of this white grape (godello), but now I am going to look out for more of it. More heft to it than albariño. Delicious.

Four hours of Escape Lounge OAK swill today. This was not the plan. Hopefully I'll arrive in the LA area in time after WN's rolling mechanical delay in time to pick up some Seder worthy wine.

The remains of this evening's lineup:
Billecart-Salmon Blanc de blancs
Domaine Weinbach Muscat 2019
Yannick Amirault St-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil 2003
R Dubois & Fils Nuits-Saint-Georges 2010
D'Oliveiras Bual Madeira 1968
The St-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil was probably the most impressive of the lot - I think we got it at just the right age. Spicy, floral, a lot more intense than I expect Loire reds to be. Very nice with grilled lamb sausages.
The madeira was also excellent in a very refined prune-juice kind of way, though getting the cork out and decanting it was a white-knuckle experience.

Over the Easter weekend:
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2020, New Zealand
Birichino Saint Georges Pinot Noir 2018, California
Marc Morey et Fils Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Vergers 2014
Also had a glass of Fess Parker Santa Barbara County Riesling (unknown vintage) last week, had no particular expectations but found it quite enjoyable.
