Duchman Family Winery
Texas Montepulciano 2018
Had it first at @grapetownvineyard near #fredericksburg and bought the bottle. Had our perfect occasion to open it up and it didn’t disappoint. Medium to full body, not sweet but certainly not on the drier side either—just perfectly balanced with flavor palate of cherry, oak, plum, and blackberry notes. Went well with brick oven pizza after a long day of moving into my honey’s new home. Definitely going to Driftwood, Texas to visit the actual vineyard soon. Great for gifting, special occasions, and romantic evenings. — 3 months ago
Caras de los Andes
Valle Central Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
In-house wine at a Hard Rock all-inclusive hotel. It’s not great but it wasn’t terrible. Mediocre value wine that went well paired with steak and potatoes. I wouldn’t serve to guests necessarily but would drink it at home.l (as we did) for a casual dinner. — 3 days ago
Sokol Blosser
Evolution Lucky No. 9 White Blend 2021
Refreshing, crisp, very easy on the palate paired excellent with honey goat cheese (celebrity brand). Didn’t even last us to have w dinner. A date night wine yet affordable as an everyday wine. Notes: I don’t like sweet wine whatsoever yet this pleasantly sweet—tropical sweet like pear/peach/pineapple tones. — 24 days ago
Cantine Due Palme
Pillastro Nero 2022
Could drink this every day. Perfectly balanced, medium-bodied 60-40% cab-primitivo. Dark cherry on the nose, smooth finish, delicious with steak, asparagus, roasted potatoes, and arugula salad. — 2 months ago
Monte Xanic
Viña Kristel Sauvignon Blanc 2023
100% sauvignon blanc. Heavy on the body like a Chardonnay but overall nice. Strong guava notes along with a pineapple finish but not in a sweet way. Good for an everyday wine, not for special occasions. On a separate note, pure thick glass bottle that is on the heavier side (bought it Mexico) — a month ago
Nobilo
Icon Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2050
Could be the palate is off …a bit more Chardonnay-like to us, acidic, and bolder. Would only buy again if on sale. — 3 months ago
Maritza I M
Delightfully medium-to-full bodied. Paired well with a hearty pasta rigatoni in homemade ragú sauce meal. Notes of dark fruit especially blackberry and cherry. Excellent bottle for any occasion. Well-priced at USD$19 but likely to sell for USD$45 at a restaurant. — 3 days ago
