Obsession

Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes

Les Choregies Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2018

2018 vintage. Umm...yeah..about this wine...showstopping and seductive. Both big and supple. Deluxe plushy. Tannins relegated to future considerations. Supposedly 90% Grenache and difficult to fathom given both the intensity of dark color and the softness in said dark color. Wouldn't trot this out for someone's first big CDP as representative of the appellation but as a finisher in a lineup of 10+ CDP's? Absolutely. This is one of those wines that leads to an (unhealthy) obsession. Burn after reading and you never saw this. — a year ago

Allegracore Etna Rosso DOC Nerello Mascalese-Nerello Cappuccio Blend 2015

Etna Rosso is quickly becoming my new obsession. Tart cranberry and cherry is balanced by dried savory herbs, compost, and puckering acidity. — 6 years ago

Mohua

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2017

This is the SB that started my obsession with Sauvignon blanc. I remember picking it off a half priced wine list and drinking it with chicken wings- I didn't know wine could be so refreshing or fun. Years later, it is still just as good. Passionfruit, pineapple, grass, and cat urine nose. Notes of bell pepper, peach, lime, guava, and herbs. Medium body. LOVE. — 4 years ago

Stepping away from my bold cab obsession for some pinot with pork roast tonight. Strawberries & raspberries come to mind, a little spicy. — 6 years ago

Serra de' Gatti Barbera d'Alba

Recent Barbera obsession continues. Big but smooth. Gorgeous but tiny bite at the end. Settles so well. Great with burger or pizza if going heavy even for a lighter wine. — 7 years ago
