Named after an ancient Greek drinking game 🥳 Reminiscent of Vouvray, but with lighter flavor. Lime and floral aroma, acidic, saline and very dry finish. It's oaked but I couldn't really taste it. Good aperitif for sunny weather. — a day ago

I bought this after loving the Chardonnay, and it's another hit. Tight, high acidity and dried red fruits. Peppery and slightly jammy finish, but dry through and through. — 7 days ago

Good with sushi or lighter Thai dishes. Citrus forward, but herbal, bitter and a little boozy. (15% abv) Interesting texture. Others are saying waxy but I get oily. Not a “clean” wine, but certainly unique. New grape for me. — 16 days ago

This is not a blend, but 100% Casavecchia. Upon opening, the volcanic smokiness is immediately fragrant, and slightly perfumed. Dark berries, tannins, and minerals woven together. Delicious winter red!🍷 Also 👍 the very graphic designy label ...

Had the rest of the bottle with broiled salmon, cashew olive vinaigrette, wild mushrooms and polenta. It became veeeery mellow on day 2. Even better! — 2 days ago

Dry, typical Barbaresco. With friends and slow cooked chicken and polenta. Definitely give it sone air... pretty harsh on opening. — 15 days ago

Gattinara is a new region for me. It’s in Northern Piedmont, with smaller output than nearby Langhe, but produces Nebbiolo with a similar “nervy” acidity. This bottle is great, with earthy red fruit and brick red color. Still young, but tasty. Had it with coq au vin 🇫🇷✖️🇮🇹 — 22 days ago

Very good Rioja reserva! Sour red cherry berry, and oaky smoky 🍒😚💨 Had it with roasted garlic chicken thighs, arugula, and smashed potatoes with lemon, chives and sour cream. Pairing was a little off - it was too bold and flavorful for the dish, but certainly not bad! — 6 days ago

Delicious unoaked Chardonnay. Lemon, grapefruit acidity and superbly balanced. Went very well with crispy bacon mushroom risotto and scallops. A perfect pairing to close out the weekend 😊 — 14 days ago

Not a fan of this at all. Flat and flavorless with no distinct character. Organic though. 🤷‍♂️ — 21 days ago
