Heinrich Mayr (Nusserhof)

Elda Rosso Schiava 2013

9.2

This producer never fails to deliver quirky but beautifully made wine with an abundance of character. Predominantly schiava with a motley assortment of other unidentified varietals. Fresh strawberry with an earthy, herbal quality and a distinctly saline finish. — a day ago

Intrigued! I taste way too many “testable varieties” recently and not enough cool things. The Alto-Adige has been on my radar though. Particularly for their chill-friendly reds. Especially when saline (not a salt fiend or anything here). I’ll be on the lookout. Thank you for sharing.

@Ellen Clifford Try the Lagrein or the Teroldego too you can find some...they spell the latter as “Tyroldego” or just “Ty...” to get around DOC rules. Did I mention they are quirky?

This was really fun—went great with shrimp and grits and roasted oysters at Husk. Grapefruit, fresh strawberries and pink peppercorns — 7 days ago

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2015

Matt Perlman

8.5

Alas, quite overripe for my palate, perhaps the product of a hot vintage. I don’t have a lot of experience with this producer. Boysenberries and violets, a bit of campfire. A plodder — 10 days ago

Natasha and I went there a few years back, and it is the only time we have walked out of a tasting. Wine was very mediocre, our pourer was slow and knew nothing about the wine, and it was filled with rowdy bachelor parties getting sloshed. Meh!

Domaine Hippolyte Reverdy

Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2017

Matt Perlman

8.9

Some real Sancerre from the Kermit Lynch portfolio...flinty minerality to go with your grapefruit and lime — 5 days ago

Château de Saint-Cosme

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2015

Matt Perlman

9.2

Absolutely delicious traditional Cote rotie, yes a big vintage but with an hour or two of air it’s actually accessible. Violets and purple berries up front with game, olive and dried herbs, plush texture and the tannins start to really creep in towards the end signaling this may be about to shut down for a while. — 7 days ago

Green apple peach lemonade. Concocted and cloying. It’s so hard to find good Sancerre these days. Life is hard y’all — 11 days ago

Château Musar

Musar Jeune Cinsault Rosé 2016

Matt Perlman

8.8

Somehow I always end up randomly drinking Musar on vaca. This is a fun rose, tequila sunrise hue / amber at the edges, berries and flower petals with some pleasingly oxidative notes — 5 days ago

Rivera di Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo 2001

9.4

Stunning wine, still very primary but some leather and earth tones emerging. Hold for a while longer or enjoy now for the beautiful black cherries and rose petals — 7 days ago

Il Roverone

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2009

Matt Perlman

8.8

I don’t drink a lot of Amarone but tried this in a neat little shop (Rudi’s in Mt Pleasant, SC) and very much enjoyed. Definitely rich and high in alcohol but not without balance and enough acidity to be dangerous. Raisiny fruit profile and spice went well with burgers. — 8 days ago

Can't imagine the burgers but love the description. I've actually not had a lot of Amarone's I love because I rarely have them with food. Hashtag goals hehe
