Armand de Brignac
Ace of Spades Brut Rosé Champagne Blend
Because it’s Sunday….and celebrating the new baby girl. Mom deserved something good. This fit the bill. More serious champagne than just popping bottles in da club. Strawberry preserves over little mini biscuits. Roses on the nose, fresh strawberries and cream with angel food cake. Bright red hue. — a month ago
My Favorite Neighbor
Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Delicious plum, vanilla, blackberry cobbler, opened up well after long decant…not sure if the rumors are true but it would be odd for Constellation to leave the wine business altogether. I understand you have shareholders to keep happy, but you really see no rebound for this great product?!? — 9 months ago
Lingua Franca
Chers Amis Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay 2022
Lemon lime custard, makes it clear it’s a chard. Love the label art. Started a little too cold but as it warmed the texture was very creamy. Minerality presence is felt, freshness to this I appreciate. — 17 days ago
Château de Sales
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2019
Been too long since I’ve had Bordeaux. This one is a golf shot away from one of the “big boys” and a steal for a fraction of the price. — 4 months ago
Heitz Cellar
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Big Napa fruit. — 5 months ago
Argyle
Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2022
For best value wine in the press I expected more. Thin, watery, maybe slightly cooked, cherry. — 9 months ago
La Marca
Libretto Veneto Prosecco
Serviceable with a charcuterie board for a Monday afternoon. Nothing too serious but that’s ok sometimes. Sweeter than I remember but not cloying. — 19 days ago
Tensley
P2KV Colson Canyon Vineyard Syrah Grenache 2022
Dig this wine. Nose- Cherry, roses, violets, and grape fruit snacks. Palate- plenty of dark fruits, with a heavy influence of cured meat, olives and game. Lighter than the abv suggests. Good acidity. Wish it didn’t end. Glad I have a few backups but should’ve waited a few more years. — 23 days ago
Terrazas de Los Andes
Reserva Mendoza Malbec 2022
Blueberry and crushed violets, there’s a freshness about this wine that I love even after a day open. Would drink again. — 7 months ago
Jocholla
Lemon, banana, tropical fruit, super light, not a ton going on, but I don’t mind that in a light easy drinking crisp PG. Inexpensive enough to be a house wine contender, especially for summer. — 10 days ago
