Decanted, notes from 2 hrs open. Paired with simple pasta with red sauce. Lovely, and not much to add to my last note. Maybe a touch too much bitterness on the palate, but that's a quibble. Yum. — 13 days ago

2004 Burgs vs CA Pinots. Some in the group felt it was like Kosta Brown but I’m not so sure. Much preferred the Siduri of the two CA Pinots in the lineup — a day ago

Gaja Ca’Marcanda Magari 2017: Smooth. Balanced. Inviting. Medium tannins. Medium acidity. Full flavors. Blackberry. Tobacco. Spice. Earth. Overall, a rich (& lovely) Super Tuscan wine consisting of 60% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon & 10% Petit Verdot. Drinking fantastic right now but if given the chance, I would hold. Great day to all! Cheers🍷 — a month ago

Unlike prior iterations of this “secret” private label for Garagiste, the cork had no identifying marks denoting the estate from which it came. (I think the 16 sported a Casa Emma cork, if memory serves.) But regardless who made this, it’s really good. Dark ruby color. Great nose of violets, deeply intense dark cherry, some crushed gravel, and a slight balsamic note. Intense in the mouth, it’s lots of fruit and florals at first, but then gives way to loads of cooling crushed stone minerality, and ends quite savory. Good acids, and lots of soft tannin. Will improve for at least a couple more years, maybe more. — 13 days ago

Really love this one. Second bottle. A little earthy on the nose and pretty silky in the mouth with some berries and soft tannins that linger. — a month ago

Ca’del Bosco, Franciacorta, Cuvée Prestige, NV, Extra Brut, ABV 12.5%. 🇮🇹

Here is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Nero varieties, with a dosage at disgorgement introducing only 1 gram of sugar per liter, making this an Extra Brut sparkling wine (6 g/l max), coming from Franciacorta DOCG in the Lombardy region of Italy. Franciacorta sparklers are known for being produced with a second fermentation in the bottle and prolonged aging on the “lees” á la Méthode Champenoise. 🍾🥂

This is a beautiful representation. It’s pale gold, bone-dry, and offers toasty, bready notes next to tart, youthful peach, pear, and apple, lemon pith, blanched almonds, desiccated white flower, and wet slate. 💕

This wine is bright, elegant, and focused. It could cut through butter and is a delicious pairing with creamy, soft cheeses.👌👌👌

Pop and pour. Lovely barbera. Nose shows mulberry leaf, plum, black raspberry. On the palate: excellent acidity, pomegranate, black raspberry, dried leaves, and just so juicy. No real tannin visible on the juicy finish. Yum. — a month ago
