Nostalgia Wines

Quintas das Touquinheiras

Nostalgia Vinho Verde Albariño

2016 opened March 2024. Grapefruit and apricots on the nose. Lemon on the front with a crisp tannic backbone. It becomes intensely astringent on the mid palate and it has a long bitter finish. At first I didn’t care for this wine, but halfway through the first glass i loved it. This would be a refreshing summer wine — chilled of course! — a month ago

I haven’t had this wine since the late 2000’s.

As good as I remember it.

Château Pontet-Fumet

Saint Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

I enjoyed it. Harder to find where I’m located. Opened up to some of the plummy notes I like and tend to look for, more so than your typical st emilion. I’d buy again if the price was right solely because this gives me nostalgia from 2000’s and before pomerols that are my favorite. — 3 years ago

Robert Young Estate Winery

Estate Grown Bob's Burn Pile Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Fell in love with this wine the first time I tasted many years ago. I have been waiting to crack open this 2014 bottle and still love it just as much. Complex, tannic, and has the added benefit of nostalgia! — 2 years ago

Vinhos Barbeito

Rare Wine Co. Historic Series Special Reserve Madeira Savannah Verdelho

Translucent cold brew color, rather pungent citrus and roasted pecan nose. Yum already. Then medium sweet, deeply caramel more pecan on the palate. This wine feels like family and that’s not just my Austin-grandparent-pecan-picking nostalgia. It’s so friendly but capable of throwing you for a loop—how high is that alcohol? (19.5 abv)) but WHAT sort of kernel/nut elements are they and are they STILL judging where I went to school? These pecan-savvy questions fade as elegant smoky elements wave through to tell you it doesn’t matter so long as you graduated. It keeps you on your toes and keeps you looking towards more time together. — 4 months ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend

Big red fruit, currants, stewed strawberries, so ripe but not overripe, like you put it in a pie, but still has the acid to hold up, cherry, like a chocolate cherry that's articificial but you just love the nostalgia and flavor. A little bit of leather on it but so beautiful. Really loving this wine, it's perfect with a steak and just keeps opening and getting more beautiful with each sip! — a year ago

Agrapart & Fils (Pascal Agrapart)

Terroirs Grand Cru Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne

Is there anything better than sharing a good bottle of champagne with a friend? Yes. Sharing a great bottle of champagne with someone as you become good friends. The flavors of nostalgia and memories of childhood pair so well with the gorgeous seawater, brioche, lemon pith and wet chalkboard minerality of Champagne, as expressed by Pascal Agrapart, organic maestro of limestone, and in this case Chardonnay. One of my favorite champagnes. — 3 years ago
