Really overdelivers for the price. Hazy gold color, white flowers and lemon verbena on the nose, exotic palate of grapefruit, tangerine, stone fruit and honey. Would be wonderful with any regional cuisine ringing the Mediterranean. Don’t recall ever being disappointed by Ochippinti — 2 days ago

Golden color, medium body and medium + acid, typical slightly oxidized orchard fruit, nutty / marzipan, a little smoke. As often happens with Chenin it looks and tastes 3-5 years older than it is. But for the ripeness could have fooled me on being new world, might have called Savennieres blind — 6 days ago

Tons of purity and upper register power for the price—I’m sure would gain more complexity with time. — 11 days ago

Not at all Bretty even out of the gate. Beautiful transparent garnet color. Tart red fruits, citrus and flowers, still very fresh and primary but totally delicious — 4 days ago

Light and perfumed, red berries and roses and plum skins throughout, a little spicy and peppery on the palate. My German Pinot affair continues and yes there will be some Enderle & Moll ‘16s in my near future — 6 days ago

Great entry level Saumur Blanc. Cidery bruised green apple and honey spritzed with tangy lemon, salt and flint, marzipan. Love how the fresh zippy citrus balances the more unctuous / oxidized elements and lifts the whole package. — 9 days ago

Pale salmon, bone dry (non-dosage), strawberry and orange cream, some chalk. Wild yeasts make themselves known. Mouth-wateringly good, and gently priced too. Damn near killed a whole bottle by myself without realizing. Poke bowl night gets a little wild in the Perlman household folks. — 14 days ago

There is really very little “Burgundian” about this despite the Francophile name and Dominique Lafon’s involvement. It’s a very nice middle of the road Oregon Pinot, showing plush red and blue fruit and some earth tones, restrained but with some flesh to it appropriate for the region and the vintage. — 6 days ago

Feeling this on another sweltering day—tangy lemon lime, white flowers, peach, salt and crushed shells. Makes me want to kick my feet up on a porch, or be on a beach in Santorini, or maybe a porch with a view of the beach. — 6 days ago

One of the very few Tuscans I reliably enjoy...love the high toned, exuberant cherry and hibiscus tinged with fresh herbs. A fresh, aromatic and lively take on Sangiovese. A “Super Tuscan” that is actually worthy of the title. Maybe I should give the rest of the region more of a chance...*thinks*...naahhhh — 10 days ago
