Big Nose Full Body Wine Sales in Brooklyn.
Somewhat of a departure from past vintages. Seems like less oak and less intervention. Expensive for what it is. Solid pairing with some gamey ass duck. (Terrible lighting) — 8 days ago
Nicely natty! High toned and tart. Blaufrankisch dominant field blend (with a host of other varieties) from a small plot planted in 1980. Cherries, cranberry, moss, underripe plum, pepper. Soulful. Gets the gears turning. Drink under 60° and pair with chicken shawarma and yogurt sauce with pomegranate seeds. Lovely packaging. — 13 days ago
Like huffing gasoline fumes! Just wonderful. Dazzling earthy/mineral component that balances beautifully with the RS. 8% abv. So pale! — 2 days ago
Cool greenness. Mint and camphor. Cassis.
3.5% Merlot. Biodynamic. — 6 days ago
Another outstanding Picasses that is far more accessible in its youth. Open but with more muscle, austerity, and brooding fruit than the ‘14. Need to revise my other rating up rather than this down. — 11 days ago
Was between Gruner and Pinot Gris in a blind and got to Oregon Pinot Gris through some deductive help from the blind pourer.
Fruity and creamy, with a vegetal/herbal quality I only associate with those varieties. Muted aromatics led me to warm climate/New World. — 15 days ago
Always taut with laser acid, explosive citrus, and way underripe peach. Saline Salnes. Albariño has never been a favorite white for me. Blind tasters moved away from Sauvignon Blanc due to lack of green character. Most settled on Albariño with Alsatian Riesling getting a vote. — 2 days ago
4th bottle out of a case. I take back everything I’ve said about 2020 GG’s as of late. This is killer. Medium bodied with white melon, tropics, and cool stones. Waking up and drinking great. Pair with Panang Curry or Peking duck. — 9 days ago
My last bottle of this and truly wish I had another case. Cheese rind and rich stone fruit. No slowing down for this beauty of a value at $19 on the shelf. Would kill to try another bottle in 2, 3, 5, and 7 years! — 14 days ago

Puligny? Meursault? A ton of bang for the buck. 100% Alvarinho from Dao (past vintages seem to be from Minho) Ages in parts, 1000L used and 1000L new oak. — 2 days ago
