Reserva Alentejano Red Blend 2018

Blend of Petit Verdot and Alicante Bouchet, and a little bit of Syrah and Aragonez. Plum, mint, boysenberry on the nose. Medium and structured tannins. Fruit forward and light bodied. Rather unusual for this blend of wines.  — a month ago

Domaine Charles Audoin

Bourgogne Aligoté 2020

WotN. With air this was a composite puzzle of herbs, yellow fruits, new album cover and petrol-stained fingers. Wow. — a year ago

Cellers Can Blau

Blau Montsant Red Blend 2018

In one fell swoop kick off the sandals, throw off the shirt, hop skip across sun-baked flat tile stones and dive with a swan’s assurance into the seaside swimming pool, warmed only by the elements, and just as mysterious, elusive and temperamental…….

Concept Album

Sonom County Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

High fruit, blackberry, red currant. Mid-strong vanilla. High tannin and medium high acidity. The finish is quite long. Extremely nice wine for the price point. — 6 years ago

Château de la Maltroye

Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay 2022

2022 vintage. A tad gratuitous. Above average structure, intensity and length of finish. You could do a helluva lot worse with village Chassagne. Picked up two cases for the resto as this hits the sweet spot for price to quality ratio. It’s a well-worn, greatest hits album without hidden tracks/surprises. No pushing of the envelope here. Scratches that white Burg with fleshy oak and tangy fruit itch. 9.10.25. — 2 months ago

St Innocent Winery

White Rose Vineyard Pinot Noir 2007

Paired with Midlake’s Van Occupanther. A perfect pairing. The complexity is a 91, but with the album it calcifies the memory of both. As for the actual wine, the cork was dry, but the wine is alive, — 2 years ago

Ruffino

Modus Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2018

I've already reviewed the 2020, so I'll keep it brief. I've been a big fan of this wine for 12 years. It is one of my go-to Italian reds when I am having friends over for a feast. And this bottle is tasting great without a feast.
Listening to Phil Keaggy. (Check out his album Beyond Nature. Phil is the greatest guitarist I've ever met, and he's one of the best in the world)

Masseria Li Veli

Passamante Salice Salentino Negroamaro 2020

B
9.0

Try this with a vintage album, such as Chicago Transit Authority circa 1969. Carries a bouquet of angry leftist rebellion with just a hint of “the world is watching”. Damn good wine. — 3 years ago

Réserve Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

Love this night in and night out. Funny thing this time - on the nose there is something that won’t go away - remember when you would open a new album? Remember that smell? Not vinyl. No other way to describe it. Just very interesting. Very fresh smelling. Plenty of citrus too. Palate very nice and the album scent not there on the palate. Finish a little different than normal. Still nice. — 5 years ago
