First what hits you is the texture- so silky smooth, like ice skates. Beautiful golden hay color. Tons of mineral intensity on nose. Star fruit, fennel, pollen, peach skin, yellow apple concentrate. Strong wine for strong food, but paired beautifully with simple roasted whole chicken, roasted potatoes & foraged oyster ‘shrooms from Columbia County (will we ever die?), & Mexican style cole slaw ( heavy on the lime). — 5 days ago

Well made but more on the Vaqueras spectrum of juicy red fruits, which my palate seems to shy away from — 14 days ago

An experiment to see how this premium Lambrusco would play at 4 years. Still vital & less Brett after opening, a bit longer & suave with certainly less fizz. Cassis & black fruits somehow elegant. Perhaps I’m smitten w that paper wrapping under the wire cage. — 14 days ago

A Portuguese sparkling treat, brought over by a beloved neighbor post holiday. There is a true minerality & brut character, long & elegant, quite chiseled. White fruits & flowers, hard apples but it’s all about the dry finish. Astonishing in the sense of having no reference point for such sparklers, & would have guessed a quality French champagne if tasted blind. — 13 days ago

Not sure if wood was used here, but the vanilla & broad mouthfeel suits it. Like a baby Chardonnay, w less angularity & at 13$ a QPR — 14 days ago

A competent Languedoc white blend for a song. Good & dry one note of white fruits, and savory. — 14 days ago

Greek red blend, aged in amphora & barrel. Think Beaujo minus the granite character but plus bay leaf- which could be Cab Franc, ‘xcept it ain’t funky! — 14 days ago

9.0

No notes but a hard crush on Sangiovese from Romagna- like an easy Vespa ride down to the beach. Like I barely noticed it but can feel my happiness overflow. And cheap. — 14 days ago

Give it air. Light red blend which probably could have used a decant. Cranberries & wild blueberries. — 14 days ago
