Bird Song Hill Vineyards
The Eyrie Vineyards
BlackCap Pinot Noir 2009
“ A bird, a mushroom, and a berry, all native to Oregon. A limited production from Heritage vines, this cuvée is composed of 20 barrels. Vinified traditionally, the song, the savor and in the sweetness of the blackcap are manifest here, in a Pinot Noir that embodies its origins.” Jason Lett. — 6 years ago
Bird in Hand
Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2017
A curve ball for Options this afternoon.
I had bypassed this Syrah at previous Adelaide Hill Wine Shows. I will stop bypassing and maybe B lining. — 5 years ago
Walter Scott
La Combe Verte Chardonnay 2017
That’s a reductive bird. Wish we could have set this aside for two hours. I am thinking it would have been a sing-song beauty. — 6 years ago

Columbia Valley Riesling 2001
Just a great Riesling — 7 years ago
Mission Hill Family Estate
Reserve Rosé Blend 2019
A wonderfully refreshing Okanagan Rosé from a premier producer. Salmon in color, great fruit, clean, presenting hints of green apple, strawberries and a touch of watermelon. A winner on a blue bird evening in the Canadian Rockies. 12.9% alc/vol. Cheers 🍷🇨🇦 — 5 years ago
Trinity Hill
Hawkes Bay Pinot Noir 2015
Others say it’s oaky... I get a little but not in an off-putting way. For the $, this is incredibly solid. Perfect for Thanksgiving or any white meat bird. — 7 years ago
Masi
Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 1999
The red headed stepchild of my wine collection finally got some attention. I’ve owned this bottle in too many apartments. I’ve jokingly suggested open ing it to my wife too many times knowing full well she wasn’t gonna opt in.
Tonight I cooked myself a steak, and looked for that bottle no one was gonna miss. Hello Amarone. WHERE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE? The nose hints at something possibly a little over the hill, and it ain’t all that enticing, but then you take a bite of steak, a nibble of mashed potatoes and sip that juice and it tastes like blackberries pushed through a dirty layer of tobacco and I am putting this funky song on repeat. — 7 years ago
Ceccherini Cristiano
This is the most iconic barbera in Italy
The story of the label is very curious
Single site hill where a lady had a house.
She was nicknamed "Uccellone" meaning big bird due to her prominent nose that resembled a bird beak. Nonetheless "Uccellone" in italian slang also mean "big penis"...
The local priest was horrified by this label and accused Braida of pushing the boundaries too much. The answer was from him to produce another wine honouring the priest called Bricco della Bigotta(Bigot).
The wine is big, it goes in large oak for 12 months plus 12 months in the bottle before release and needs decanting. Super smooth, super complex, this is a wine for blue cheese or meditation.
It keeps giving you different shade every time you swirl it.
Personally i prefer other style of barbera, but it is a super interesting wine with a lot of history too. — 10 days ago
