Surprised in its quality. Rich red fruits. Balanced — a month ago

Areni

Dry Red Blend 2018

Loved this! Medium weight, easy drinking red with bright little acid-and-tannic notes, strawberry jam up front, sort of a plum cassis thing in back… delish!! — 3 years ago

Zulal

Vayots Dzor Armenia Areni 2018

Very crisp and light. Tropical notes with lychee and lemongrass . Only Armenian wine I’ve found in Dallas! Great for our hot summers! — 3 years ago

Hermann J. Wiemer

Finger Lakes Dry Gewürztraminer 2017

Nose has amazing Gardenia aromas, sweet honey, freshly milled white pepper and cold wax.

Palate has over-ripe cantaloupe, honey drizzle on green melon, (light) lemon/orange zest and juiced Clementine (faint). Light on the acidity and a bit long on the finish. Decanted 60m. (92-93 points, very nice)

Spectacular pairing to fried eggs (backyard egg factory paying its dues even in the cold of winter) over toasted couscous, softened garlic & red onion, fresh green onion and the star of the dish za'atar (I could eat this on cereal!).

ArmAs Estate

Estate Bottled Uru Uu Areni 2018

Absolutely unexpected red wine from Armenia, Areni ungrafted grapes selected for this particular wine from ArmAs estate provides a great balance and incredible smoothness that will surprise anyone. Rounded tannins and balanced structure allows to have more than one glass. Cheers! — 3 months ago

Agreed, I enjoy posting bottles you can't pronounce, or could do so with an err of confusion.

Yeah, but she's wearing a mask now, so your mind has to wander a little more.

Yacoubian-Hobbs

Dry Areni Wine 2019

Trendy native varietal from Armenia. Smooth light bodied red with hints of red berries and an herby finish. Interesting wine.
Would love to pair with lamb maybe.

Domaine Hudelot-Baillet

Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2016

Nose has tart strawberry, ripe black cherry, blackberry, dried soil with peat and faint creamy oak notes.

Palate has ripe blackberry, ripe cherry, dried garden soil, thawed strawberries, light cedar influence, decent finish but we're underwhelmed overall. Maybe closing up now, revisit in 3-5Y, 2025-27.

Cork pulled, slow oxidation for 3H.

Solid pairing to toasted Israeli couscous, za'atar and lightly fried eggs from the backyard egg factory. For us, eggs are always a great pair to Bourgogne Rouge, they balance wonderfully.

(Also, for the record, no photo trickery on the food pic, our Australorp eggs are indeed that orange; Good diet equals good eggs.)

Those eggs look fabulous! I also now need to see what a thawed strawberry smells like...do mean the wine had a touch of freezer aroma?

@Ellen Clifford Previously frozen strawberries seem to have a dilute aroma. I buy fresh, then cut up and freeze for smoothies, my wife slightly microwaves them (and other fruit) before she puts them in the blender.

Heh, I have some strawberries in the freezer right now for smoothie needs! But I never have smelled them thawed...now think I may need to!
