Sangria
OK in a pinch. Add chopped apples and orange slices (squeeze juice first) into your glass full of ice to make it more enjoyable. Drank during COVID WFH 2020 — 2 months ago

Bodegas Escorihuela Gascón
Mendoza Malbec 2019
Had a strong alcohol aftertaste and smell. Low acidity, not very sweet, medium tannins. Must try it with steak next time. Had it with lasagna. Upped the rating on Day 2 with a more complementary dinner - apple chicken sausage and fried noodles. — 2 months ago
Adelaida
Bobcat Crossing Vineyard Muscat 2015
The original NV version was Muscat Blanc a Petits grapes and was nicer than this blend of muscat canelli, viognier, and picpoul blanc grapes. There’s a weird aftertaste that lingers on the top back of my palette. — a month ago

Nadia Santa Barbara Highlands Orange Muscat 2014
I wonder if I waited too long to drink it. It tasted flat. No aromatics on the nose and no fruits on the tongue. I’ve bought this several times while I lived in SLO. I don’t remember how it tasted since it’s been 5 years since I last tasted it, but I’m sure I liked it and it would’ve needed to be more pleasant than my current bottle. Purchased June 2015. Drank Jan 2021. I will update my score if I ever get a chance to drink this again. — a month ago
Joel Gott Wines
815 California Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Taste in order: black fruits, sweetness, then tannins. Addition of 1 tsp of sugar to a glass makes this a wonderful dessert wine. Enjoyable on its own too. — 2 months ago

The 2010 vintage is still delicious in 2021!!! I first enjoyed this Moscato while staying at the Meritage Resort in Napa for a sales meeting. This bottle came from a case I purchased in 2016 from a local SoCal distributor after I found out they stopped producing this wine. The aromatics and taste are just perfect for my liking. The sweetness is well balanced through the whole experience. — a month ago
