Spumante rose from Emilia, but not a Lambrusco. Sharply focused & simple, raspberry & blood orange notes, dry. Nice foil for sushi, & at under 10$ easy to reach for — a month ago

8.6

An odd, Rioja based natural wine with a Rioja blend. Curiously piqued by its markdown price down to 8$. Sometimes you get what you pay for. Sour. — a month ago

Super earthy & chewy Mondeuse from Savoie. Drinks more like a very good Moulin A Vent. Throws some sediment so watch out. — 7 days ago

For some reason rhubarb based amaros grab me & don’t let go. This is one of them. — a month ago

9.2

Opening bottle for a special night out, paired with a modern Korean tasting menu. Color is a knockout goldenrod, with the bottle age bringing a rounded, textured mouthfeel really matching the raw fish, Unami notes, & intricate textures of the first 2/3 of the menu. Dried apple, sulfured apricot, & celery notes. Elegant & pretty long. While dry really approximates an aged German Reisling, with such a plump, yet refined acid backbone. — a month ago

Big, loud baked IGP Rhone explosion of a wine; rustic in the most positive sense. Rasberry and dark red cherries. Drink without food at your own risk. Great value given here Ardeche appellation. — 17 days ago

What a fascinating Rhone blend, from a far south appellation and vigneron I’ve never encountered. Given the 18years of bottle age plus pre release, some serious stuffing- especially at 15% abv- but really presents more like a fresh, slightly funky northern Rhone, ie, Syrah. Like George Clooney in ballet shoes, but truly graceful. Deep black fruits, some gaminess & feral qualities. Apparently the maker subscribes to such a higher order of biodynamics that he holds a patent on it. Finish fairly long & satisfying. Paired with the main courses of a modern Korean tasting menu, including roast duck. Doesn’t have to be a unicorn to be enjoyed, but this one is. Very special. Rosenthal book. — a month ago
