Really good bargain. Very well made, full bodied Chardonnay from the Rousillon, no oak but aged on the lees, apple, lemon, biscuit, some tropical notes. — 2 days ago

The 2015 is a very well made wine from southwest France. 50% Syrah, 50% braucol. 12% alcohol. Medium ruby, medium intensity, nose of cassis, blackberry, chocolate, leather, corrugated steel, blood. On the palate, medium acidity and surprisingly silky tannins. More red and black fruit and a bit of iron. Outstanding value for the price and I wasn’t expecting much. — a month ago

One of my favorite rosés. Beautiful pale orange with an intense floral nose full of strawberries, jasmine, blossom, rose petals and honey. Strawberry and red fruit on the palate with a hint of white pepper, a lush texture, and a long, lingering finish. — 4 days ago

Inoffensive, simple. Tomato sauce wine. At $12 it’s not a bad deal. — 16 days ago

Medium garnet/tawny, nose of raisins, dried fig, redcurrant, mushroom, earth. Still full of rich fruit, mostly of the dried/caramelized variety but there was still some youthful cherry. Olives and especially mushroom on the palate and finish. Mature Beaujolais is a joy. — 24 days ago

Produced by G.D. Vajra, a lovely crisp Arneis blend with pears, honey, apple, and peppery spice. Gorgeous and an amazing value. — 7 days ago

This is everything I am not interested in. It’s a blend that could contain literally anything and could come from anywhere. Zero tannins, low acid, high alcohol. Overwhelming oak (vanilla/coconut). Awful with dinner, tasty with chocolate. — 23 days ago
