Pells Skin Contact Macabeo 2017
The acidity and structure of this wine make is v special. Also has a looooong finish. So good with food. Honeysuckle and orange blossom on the (lusty) nose. Bergamot for sure. A little cider character. Meyer lemon the palette. Wet stone minerality. Love this wine. — 18 days ago

This rules. Great Bojo. Age added some serious complexity but still fun and fruity and makes you want to keep sipping... — 3 months ago

1984 Bierzo Mencía 2017
This was great. Style held up well to (Vintage meathook!) steak and was a good value on the restaurant wine list. Tannins worked well with steak but we’re more robust than I expected. Improved with some air. — 8 days ago

Mosier Hills Estate Mencía 2017
Bought at winery and travelled back to NY with us (via united airlines luggage). We intended to hold this for a while but the cork was leaking real bad. So we opened it, nervous it might be undrinkable. Turns out to be pretty tasty. The cork issue might’ve caused it to mature faster or something because it’s really savory & meaty but it’s still fruity too. There is the tiniest bit of that fizz on your tongue that you’d expect from a zero sulfur wine, so I guess it is kind of corked. Maybe we’ve been drinking too much natty wine lately but this was tasted like it was mostly fine. I want to find more bottles of it in NY cuz it’s an interesting wine, but nervous if this bottle was messed up by travel (none of the others we flew with were) or if this could be a trend with their wines. — 3 months ago

Impruneta Sangiovese 2018
Not sure I know enough about white Sangiovese to weigh in on this one. Reminds me of the NyQuil I was downing while I had the flu 😷. Improves with air. Alcohol doesn’t seem integrated. — 16 days ago

Santa Maria Valley Gamay 2016
This is a fantastic CA gamay. Some domestic gamay just leans heavily toward being very Pinot Esque, others are fruit bombs, etc. this was super different. Not Beaujolais, not Cali Pinot. Seek this stuff out. — a month ago

Nuthouse Master Series Eola - Amity Hills Riesling 2013
