Terra Alta
Bodega Catena Zapata
Angelica Zapata Alta Malbec 2019
A solid 10% Malbec from Catena Family in Argentina. A burst of red fruits, blueberries, very velvety and incredibly smooth all the way. Deep and gripping mouthfeel, structured tannins and lovely finish. Among my fav Malbecs from the UConn Valley, Argentina. — 19 days ago

Antica Terra
Botanica Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2017
One of America’s best, in winemaker Maggie Harrison. Great to find this on a list with a bit of age. There’s such a beguiling combination of savory earth, mineral and rich cherry fruit flavors, with killer concentration, a plush texture and serious length. Top notch Domestic Pinot for sure. — 16 days ago
Fattoria Galardi
Terra di Lavoro Roccamonfina Aglianico Piedirosso 2010
Opened and decanted 2.5 hours in advance of our inaugural Aglianco Osso Buco wine dinner here at the Gotham
Facing off against a range of Aglianco from Unti in Sonoma, Leonetti in WA and Galardi 2007 in Campania
The 2010 Galardi was the most dense and as with the 2007, the fruit was minimal. Instead the flavor profile is herbs, green olives and incredible savory notes. It worked incredibly well with the osso buco and needed the richness to shine. This wine still had a bit of hard edges and could use more bottle age IMO — 13 days ago
Terroir al Límit
Dits del Terra Priorat Carignane 2021
High acidity and quite a lot of tannins, but well rounded. Black and blueberries with herbal notes. Excellent with food, quite good by itself. Needs to breathe a little. — 14 days ago
