Les Halos de Jupiter (Philippe Cambie)
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache
Nose - blackberry preserves and chalk and cedar. Weight - medium. Main flavors - apple juice sweetness on the front and then goes to a sharp unripe pitted fruit/grapefruit tartness thing on the finish with a decent acidity and light tannins. I’m not mad at it but wish it was a little less sharp on the finish. But good with coq au vin that my hubby made. — 2 months ago
Domaine Michel Bregeon
Gros-Plant du Pays Nantais Melon de Bourgogne 2022
Nose - super clean slate and hay scent. Flavors - lemon, lime, pineapple but with a mineral backbone. Just enough zip of acid to not make it sweet. It’s not super complex though, very linear from the front of the sip to the finish. Love the fruit but with a more dry mineral note. Good with shrimp gumbo! — 9 days ago
Domaine du Coulet (Matthieu Barret)
Petit Ours Brun Côtes du Rhône Syrah
Nose - lilacs, soil, clay amphora and erasers! (Haha) Flavors - cranberry and tart blueberries. Mouthfeel - a bit sharp and acidic with a semi dry finish some tannins but not too much. Look - gorgeous garnet color. Food - went sooo very well with the lamb my hubs made. — 2 months ago

Tenuta Santa Maria
Prágal Veneto Red Blend

Cascina Bruciata
Usignolo Langhe Nebbiolo 2022
Nose - salt air, wild flowers, lemon and floor cleaner (in a good way). Mouthfeel/weight - light and slick with a clean finish. Appearance - It’s got a Pinot Noir body and color. Main Flavors - cranberries and watermelon. Very drinkable/approachable. Nice pizza wine! — a month ago
Azienda Agricola F.lli Cigliuti
Serraboella Barbera d'Alba 2022
Nose - Smells like strawberry Starbust candy and unsweetened cranberry juice. Main tastes - tart pomegranate and Kool-Aid. Mouth feel and weight - medium weight with a bit of tannin and some healthy acid. Not bad but a little more on the astringent side on the finish for my taste. — 3 months ago
Jenn Ingle
Nose - limestone and ocean air. Main flavors - unripe apricot, clementine orange and mineral dryness but with a delicate slightly tart and semi sweet finish. Look - pretty light straw color. Really interesting wine. Have never tasted these grapes varietals before. Really great wine! — 2 days ago
