Bodega Balnea
Rueda Verdejo 2021
Great value for the price point ($15 in MT). Decent structure, body, not too minerally or acidic. Wines like this is why I generally avoid classic sav Blancs. — 10 months ago

Bonny Doon Vineyard
Le Cigare Orange 1983
Didn’t know what to expect. It’s a gorgeous clear copper colored wine. Coats your tongue- guessing that must be the muscat? Hint of sweetness, ripe stone fruit, no pronounced aromas but a nice long finish of sherry. Super fun, will try again and think about what to pair it with. Or just enjoy it on a Sunday afternoon. — 10 months ago

Lammidia
Bianchetto Trebbiano
Trebbiano. All natural, no sulfur… not too funky - citrus, mango. Very crushable. Scott loved it, I wouldn’t crave it — 8 months ago
La Patience
Vin Rouge Carignan - Merlot Blend
Carignan Merlot French red. Serve chilled. Medium body, light tannin, very quaffable, not too juicy. Great summer red. Another good value from Jenny & Francois at $13 — 10 months ago
Rogue Vine
Jamón Jamón Itata Valley 2020
Hadn’t tried Ittata before. Unfiltered, super golden, little funk. Full mouth feel. Not rushing back for $17 — 10 months ago
Billy D. Wines
Mountain Barbera
Totally obsessed. The size. The label. The price. THE WINE! holy smokes, would have sworn this came over on the boat from Italy. Full bodied, little jammy. Bought in a natural wine shop in San Diego. Love the 500 mL size. Trying to figure out how to buy more.
PS- winemaker is grandson of Schramsberg. Yes, that Schramsberg. — a year ago
Becky lyttle
Had this at Kin in Boise last year with scallops and loved it so much we went and bought a bottle. Recreated that dinner last night and it did not disappoint Trebbiano, Malvasia and Verdicchio from the nuns in Umbria. Medium acid, full body. Imported by Rosenthal — 3 months ago
