White peach and the faintest whiff of lemon on the nose. This is a zippy, tart number that’s balanced by a light caramel finish. We drank it by itself as a February pick-me-up but it would be a great staple for comedy-in-the-park picnics, backyard seafood boils or the random Tuesday night takeout. This gal’s got range. — 17 days ago

The nose of this guy evokes the freshly oiled saddles of an equestrian stable which is fitting as it also presents the workhorse of the kitchen: pepper. By the time it reaches your mouth, the tannins rush in but the effect is pleasant, even elegant as they’re smoothed out by ruby fruits. Pairs nicely with a hearty bean and kale stew loaded with mushrooms and garlic. Top-notch wine. — 2 years ago

Loved the 2017 with pizza, alongside garlic grilled chicken and with a meaty ribeye. Yeah we probably stretched it, but if any bottle could be the equivalent of the giving tree, it’s the bruciato. — 5 years ago

Popped this on NYE to ring in a fresh era of groundbreaking chards and was taken aback by the sticky toffee pudding palate. The Grgich was hot on the nose with a butterscotch caramel finish that would pair nicely with a Gouda or a lobotomy. If butterscotch is your jam you will love this, though personally I find this wine to be a velour hoodie compared to the waxed canvas jacket of Oregon chards (e.g., Kelly Fox, Durant). Do with this info what you will. 🤷🏻‍♀️ — 2 months ago

What a girl wants (Albariño) , what a girl needs (tropical notes and crisp acidity), whatever makes me happy (a balanced white which is equally good paired with a plate of sheep’s milk cheese or a plate of spicy noodles) sets me free!! — 4 years ago

Here we have another Pinot I Didn’t Hate. This one imparts a buttery flavor that finishes balanced and smooth. It was full of vim and panache night one, then carried us through a crispy gnocchi sausage number the next evening. Good show. — 6 months ago

File this under Pinots I Didn’t Hate. Smooth and velvety, this ruby knockout goes down easy. We paired it with some real pedestrian food - rice one night, burgers another, but the juxtaposition of this silky, refined number against the simple, brutish flavors was outstanding. She’s a keeper this one. — 4 years ago
