Alvinne Sour Collection

Bodegas Faustino

Art Collection Rioja Tempranillo 2020

Medium ruby in color; black cherries, black pepper,and woodsmoke on the nose; high acidity; medium tannins; tastes like sour cherries, blackberry jam, and wet gravel with a long finish. I love it. After some time in the glass, I'm getting vanilla and plum aromas. I love it even more now. — a year ago

Martha Stoumen

Post Flirtation White Marsanne blend 2018

I’d been jonesing to try the Martha Stoumen collection for a long time. I’ve read plenty on her background - her training under Occhipinti at Cos and I love her thoughtful articulation of California terroir, natural wine, and Sicilian grapes.

This is fun bright sunshine at a meager 10%. The smell of oysters mid slurp - briny ocean and minerals. Flavors of sour lemon drop.

Attentive and still easy.

“Training under Occhipinti...” seems almost crazy considering Arianna’s relative youth but I get it

@Jay Kline i should have specified - she trained under Giusto Ochippinti who runs Cos - I believe he is Ariana’s uncle and she trained under him as well....

@Ely Cohn ahhhhh...I totally forgot about that connection at Cos. Thanks for the clarification!

Francis Ford Coppola Winery

Diamond Collection Blue Label California Merlot 2016

Really good merlot. Sour blueberry aroma. It started a bit harsh with heavy mineral flavors, but it was all gone when I poured my 2nd glass. Tart cherry, vanilla, pipe tobacco. Short finish, smooth leather tannins. I haven’t met a Coppola I didn’t like. — 6 years ago

Collection Val de Loire Red Blend 2015

ESF
9.0

Took a chance on this unusual red from Loire: unique varietal composition & bottle format, but delicious nonetheless! Fairly dark inky richly extracted w/concentrated aromas of red fruit literally up & down the spectrum: tart cherry, cranberry, ripe bing cherry (and sour cherry), some raspberry couli all mingled with white pepper, clay & subtle vein of minerality. I found it very complex & engaging if a bit disjointed when looking at interplay of acidity & tannins... — 5 years ago

1000 de Chipuri

Wild Carpathia Collection

This wine has an alcohol percentage of 16,5%. Obviously it’s my favorise Romanian wine so far.

Preferably to be drunk while Anthony is looking at you in contempt, drinking his sour Pinot Noir.
