Knock on wood, but it’s been functioning relatively better (though not 100%) the past week.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

Scared me when the cork broke off about 2/3 way down but able to massage the rest out. Started with a Very flinty taste but started opening up in about an hour. Lots of minerality and hints of tobacco. Very distinctive flavors. Enjoyed it 🍷 — 7 years ago

Terpin Franco (TERPIN)

Quinto Quarto Pinot Grigio Ramato

Found this at Blue Ribbon Wine Bar on Downing. Finally found it online and just had a case delivered. Funkiest orange wine I’ve tried. Beer on the nose. — 9 years ago

Dönnhoff

Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Spätlese Riesling 2002

Very sweet - almost as sweet as a dessert wine. Dangerous since you can end up downing it. Best complemented by sour food or salty fish. #casamia — 9 years ago

FEL Wines

Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2014

I wasn't going to rate this wine at first, but after downing a six pack after a couple weeks I figured something is working here. It's definitely not your bread and butter pinot, and if you're a classic pinotvitorian, this wine probably isn't for you. But I'm just digging these crazy notes of root beer, caramel, oak, bright cherry, with almonds lurking in the background. Great body to this wine, well balanced with just a hint of pepper on a lingering finish. It's rich, voluptuous, and satisfying. As a club member I'm paying $28 a bottle and that feels like a deal. Good chance I'll be doubling down again soon. — 10 years ago

La Stoppa

Ageno Malvasia di Candia Blend 2015

Suuuuuuuper dark amber, like someone hasn’t had water the morning after downing three bottles. Big bite, lots of apricot, citrus on the nose. Wish I had more like it! — 6 years ago

Fleurie Gamay 2015

Well if we’re gonna be downing Sancerre and muscadet in Dakar, Fleurie in Paris is a must. Gorgeous, intensely flavored, all the fresh fruit and mineral earthiness one expects. ❤️ — 7 years ago

Like a chain smoker could open the next bottle while downing the last sip of current bottle. Nice surprise when you take first sip — 9 years ago

Itata Tierra Antigua

A Los Viñateros Bravos Canto a Lo Divino Itata Cinsault 2014

Wow, this is a great wine! And I've learned that the independent/small grower/non-industrial winemaking community in Chile is probably 20x (or 50x) larger than I thought. And as far as I can tell they are all making interesting stuff. This producer makes an amazing $14 Cinsault in Itata valley, which I had never heard of before, but the sommelier I bought this from (@vinomio in Santiago, Chile) said it was a real backwater until recently. This is a vibrant, fresh wine with a nice bouquet and burgundy-like color in the glass. It's so pleasant to drink that I can't resist downing the whole bottle (unfortunately). It has 12.8% alcohol and doesn't even have a bar code, which I think gives an indication of their production values. From Vinomio in Santiago. — 10 years ago

Giacomo Borgogno & Figli

Gran Barolo Nebbiolo

No vintage date but this mag is likely from the 50s or 60s. One of the best dessert wines I’ve ever tasted. Sweet but not overpowering and with wonderful acidity so you just want to keep downing the glasses. — 8 years ago

Stony Hill

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2011

Downing our stock before moving. Paired great with king salmon. Buttery, not very acidic. Sublime. — 9 years ago

I've got the flu. It might be the medicine talking but this stuff is awesome! Wonderful color, body, complex multi hop flavor. Definitely one of my new favorites right along with whatever is in this cough syrup I'm downing. — 9 years ago
