Tidal Reverse

Sauvignon Blanc 2023

8.5

A crisp and easygoing Sauvignon Blanc from Chile’s Casablanca Valley, this wine delivers vibrant tropical aromas, think fresh-cut pineapple and sliced yellow apple. On the palate, it’s zesty and refreshing with a clean acidity, balanced structure, and a subtle mineral streak. Medium-plus dry and super food-friendly.

A natural match for seafood, especially shellfish, but just as enjoyable on its own. A coastal breeze in a glass. Cheers!

Freddy R. Troya

9.0

This captivating 50/50 blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold expression of the high-altitude Tupungato region, Uco Valley in Mendoza, Argentina. Hand-harvested and crafted with precision, it reflects both varietals beautifully.

On the Nose: Ripe red fruits lead the way, think cherry, plum, and a whisper of black currant, layered with subtle spice, a touch of oak, and a gentle earthy edge.

On the palate: Rich and full-bodied with a well-structured profile. Blackberry, dark chocolate, and savory herbs build depth and complexity. The tannins are polished and integrated, giving the wine a long, smooth, satisfying finish.

The Mouthfeel overall; Generous and textured with balance between fruit, freshness, and power.

This is a serious contender for grilled steaks, smoky ribs, or slow-braised meats. A wine that delivers both charm and strength at a fantastic value.

Cheers to a bold red with real mountain soul.

9.1

R de Rieussec 2022
A dry white with pedigree from the heart of Sauternes.

A stunning Bordeaux Blanc Sec crafted by the esteemed Château Rieussec, neighbors to Château d’Yquem. This vintage is a blend of 55% Sauvignon Blanc and 45% Sémillon, hand-harvested from select parcels to capture both vibrancy and depth.

On the nose: Fresh, aromatic layers of thyme, lime zest, and combava, underpinned by smoky vanilla and a subtle green vegetal edge. An expressive bouquet with energy and finesse.

On the palate: Lively and mineral-driven with a chalky core. Flavors of grapefruit, lemon peel, and a hint of toasted oak glide toward a saline, slightly bitter finish that adds structure and complexity.

Mouthfeel: Crisp, textured, and finely balanced, this wine shines with a dimensional profile, bright citrus meets subtle richness, showcasing both varietals at their best.

Food pairing: An outstanding companion to shellfish, grilled fish, or goat cheese, elevating each dish with its freshness and elegance.

A wine of clarity, terroir, and charm. Cheers to Bordeaux’s dry white renaissance!

100% Chardonnay from Mendoza, Argentina. This easygoing white opens with inviting notes of toasted almonds, pie crust, and ripe apricots. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and creamy, yet balanced, with a lingering finish that shows off its subtle oak influence.

Medium-plus dry, moderately oaked, and made to be enjoyed now. With a screw cap and a sensible price point, this is a no-fuss, crowd-pleasing Chardonnay that stays firmly in the casual, easy-to-love zone. Cheers to everyday sips!

Carmen Gran Reserva Carménère 2022
100% Carménère – El Peñasco Vineyard, Apalta, Chile 🇨🇱

This is Carménère at its finest, rich, expressive, and undeniably a Chilean flagship grape.
In the glass: Deep, dark purple with serious intensity. On the nose: Ripe blackberries, plums, sweet spices and tobacco leaves. Hints of anise and paprika adds depth and intrigue.
On the palate: A lush wave of dark cherries 🍒, smooth sweet tannins, and a soft texture that lingers. Beautifully concentrated, yet still fresh and vibrant

Mouthfeel overall: full-bodied, smooth, and balanced. Silky tannins and excellent structure make for a long, elegant finish. This is a stellar example of Chilean Carménère, spicy, earthy, and fruit-forward with finesse. Amazing quality for the price.

9.0

Gabriel Meffre ‘Saint Mapalis’
Côtes du Rhône Villages – Plan de Dieu AOC,
GSM Blend (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre)

A textbook Rhône blend with soul and structure. From the historic Plan de Dieu terroir, this well-balanced GSM opens with enticing aromas of blackberry, earthy undertones, and a whisper of garrigue.

On the palate: Lush layers of black fruit, liquorice, and subtle spice carry through to the finish. The texture is soft, round, and delicate, yet the wine still shows the distinctive Rhône character you’d expect from a higher-tier cuvée.

Mouthfeel: Polished, silky, and balanced, ready to drink now with no need to wait.

Value alert: Punches well above its price point, tastes like it should cost twice as much.

A perfect match for grilled meats, herbed lamb, or a cozy night in.
Cheers to Rhône elegance without breaking the bank!

8.7

A vibrant and juicy Pinot Noir from the cool-climate vineyards of Patagonia, Argentina. It opens with a burst of bright red fruits, think cherries, wild strawberries, and pomegranate, followed by subtle floral hints and just a touch of spice.

On the palate, it’s fresh, crunchy, and fruit-forward with a medium body and soft, silky tannins. Super approachable and delicious, this is the kind of wine you can sip casually or bring to a dinner table without overthinking.

Drink it now while it’s showing all that juicy charm. It pairs beautifully with grilled vegetables, mushroom risotto, roasted poultry, or even just good conversation.

Cheers to an easygoing Pinot with personality!

On the nose & palate: Notes of blackberry, plum, and a touch of light spice make this wine charming and versatile. The Dolcetto adds softness, Barbera brings brightness, and Merlot rounds it out with gentle texture.
