Château Gromel Bel Air
Bordeaux Contrôlée Red Bordeaux Blend 2015
Never mind the nay-sayers... You know what this is? This is damned enjoyable wine. Damned enjoyable. The first sip had me thinking "this is promising" but it got better quickly. This is like that misunderstood friend you had that nobody else "got" but you. Gorgeous purple color and laid-back but engaging taste. I will admit that it is not a typical Bordeaux. No food necessary but paired with my sirloin very nicely. — 2 months ago

Middle of the road red which neither wowed nor disappointed. Dark ruby color with some noticeable sediment in the glass. A little on the dry side. — 3 months ago
Villa Puccini
Riserva Chianti Sangiovese Blend
I was extremely pleased with this wine. I don't have a lot of experience with chianti but after aerating for a solid hour, this wine offered a very satisfying sour cherry note and considerable depth that made a steak that much more enjoyable. I would absolutely purchase again. — 2 months ago
Domaine Durand (Eric & Joel Durand)
Reserve Durand Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2017
Grassy with melon notes. Very subtle sweetness and character. Overall, the wine isn't bad at all. I upped my rating after the 2 glass. Definitely grew on me. — 2 months ago
Monte Degli Angeli
Sangiovese 2016
Inside this rather drab looking bottle, I found some pretty quaffable wine! Surprised others had rated it so low. It had a great first impression that left me wanting more. I will likely get this again at some point. — 3 months ago
Josh Cellars
Legacy Merlot Blend
If aliens landed and asked "What does earth wine taste like?", I would hand them a bottle of this. 👽🍷 Not because I think it's the best earth has to offer but because I think it's a good representation of what fermented grapes taste like. That being said, it is definitely on the sweet side but I think it's a nice blend. — 4 months ago
Canoe Ridge Vineyard
The Expedition Horse Heaven Hills Merlot 2015
This wine was very "humpy"... I started off hating it, then by the middle of the bottle, it started to grow on me and finally towards the end, I was mad that I had spent any money on it at all. It was kind of like the movie Titanic. 🚢 I feel like I got completely DiCaprio'd by this wine. — 2 months ago
San Huberto
Malbec 2017
Not only is it a dandy of a malbec but it quickly became a favorite to cook with as well. It has pleasing subtle tar notes and tastes like an old-world wine. A little on the dry side. Would buy again. — 2 months ago
90 Ninety + Cellars
Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend 2016
I cannot say I was particularly wild about this wine. The flavors hit you at different intervals. Unfortunately none of them are very good ones. It tastes weak... almost watered down and it was bad enough that I discarded half the bottle, which is rare for me. — 3 months ago

Butter yum. Great nose and smooth finish. A little on the sweet side. Very enjoyable wine. — a month ago
