9.3

Following a Rajat Parr score of 9.9 is a bit intimidating, for sure. I went to a wine tasting led by Cristom’s wine maker, & this led the lineup. For the entry level white, I was shocked: a light touch Chard, salt water taffy, Anjou pear, & pear skin notes; has snap & tension too. Drinks more like a bigger Loire Sauvignon in a good way. A good food wine but we had as sipping wine. For high 20’s/low 30 dollars( I got at 25$) can Europe make better whites? Maybe, but this is really, really enticing stuff for the dollar. — 13 days ago

9.1

Just a richness, depth, & concentration that separates this Lange Rosso from the pack. And a Crazy Eddie price (under 18$)… — 23 days ago

9.2

At 8yro a lovely way to experience aged wine affordably, because it drinks as if older with all soft edges,burnished leather, black cherries, aged balsamic, milk chocolate & dried porcini. Guessing this in its drinking window but these wines surprise me with their longevity. — 6 days ago

8.7

Decent enough, with solidly yellow fruit/mango/papaya notes in a medium/ light body. Ok acid. Paired w the Knicks Finals win which, come to think of it, should have have elevated its score but didn’t, which is probably a testament to its mediocrity. — 18 days ago

Under 15$ Alentejo red, & it’s all about the gorgeous fruit: black cherry, blackberry. Light touch on tannin. — 23 days ago

9.1

Croatian white. Plenty of body & personality, w emphasis on stony white fruits, dry white peach & skin, enough acidity to hold it together. Color next to a friends Loire Sauvignon blanc showed its relative extraction & flavor profile. Had to take photo of rear label as was too much of a curveball for Delectable. Next time this gets served w food, most definitely could hold up & imagine Mediterranean fare might be perfect. — a month ago

8.8

My favorite Lambrusco varietal— darker & more guttural than the rest, with cassis, blackberry, & the old UK drink ribena ( a doubling of cassis) thrown in. This bottle is cheap & savory w a smidgeon of rs. — 10 days ago

9.2

Some serious structure holding up a palate of smoky red fruits, cracked pepper, & violets, & yet drinks very integrated & svelte— the nine years of aging feel pitch perfect for drinking now. Short decant. Paired with a chorizo clam tomato based stew, asparagus & silken tofu salad w sesame dressing, and unfortunately, a Knicks finals loss. — 18 days ago

Front label missing. Frothy & fun. Perhaps just as important is the sub 17$ price tag. — 23 days ago
