Candlelight

Nissley Vineyards

Candlelight 2019

Fresher young-drinking style with bright red cherry with notes of mint, bay leaf, and pie spices with a medium-length finish. Picked this up out of curiosity at the local supermarket on a trip to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Better than I expected, a well balanced wine that would go well with most dishes. — 2 years ago

It’s Friday and that always and forever calls for Champagne.

This is an amazing Blanc de Blanc Champange for $24.99. What a QPR! It’s like stealing.

Previous notes apply.

Happy Friday & weekend!!!

Photos, we are kicking in those chairs, full yard candlelight with the Baron and watching the World Series. It’s a good Friday and not in the complete religious sense but, close. Cheers!🥂

Decanted for 60 minutes. Threw off a bit of sediment but not much. Beautiful nose and because we drank it on the decl by candlelight I can’t comment on the color! A terrific bottle. — 6 years ago

Margaret River Red Blend 2016

Very good. Paired this with Bison beef meatloaf mixed with onions, topped with Smokey Burbs BBQ sauce and sautéed kale. My power went out during nor'easter right when I put this in the oven... so after getting everyone situated and candles lit I cooked this on in my gas grill on 350 for 25 minutes came out perfect. Nice dinner under candlelight and the wine was a great pairing for a hearty dish (without being to big of a wine I don't drink them often) — 6 years ago

Riserva Villa Lucia Chianti Sangiovese 2015

Had a pasta feast after candlelight service at Church. The Chianti was a wonderful compliment to the meal. Lots of lovely fruit and so mellow.🍷 — 4 years ago

Castello di Volpaia

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2016

High acidity in the bouquet. Lemon, lime. The smell of roses burned.

I don’t usually enjoy Chianti, but I must admit I haven’t really give it a fair shot either. A few bad impressions have left me gravitating towards the northern Piedmont region.

The acidity and tartness work here. Listening to Cajun folk pop music, reading a book by candlelight, and staying in from the eminent winter storm outside, this wine promises to keep me warm, surprised, and as leafy jovial as a Spring day in Central Park.

This is a juicy treat of a wine — one that makes me astonished how the Earth can sprout something so jammy and full of life from its soil and soul.
