Karma Zin Bastoni Vineyard Zinfandel 2016

Bursting with blackberry and vanilla, medium-long finish. Just tremendous. Not surprised, as I've appreciated Carol Shelton's deft hand with zinfandel for 20 years. — 9 months ago

Emilio Lustau

East India Solera Sherry Palomino Fino Pedro Ximénez

Lovely dark amber color. Beautiful aromas and flavors of caramel, molasses, maple syrup, citrus zest and roasted nuts. Hint of saline on the long and luxurious finish. Sweetness is certainly there but there is also nice minerality (and that hint of saline) that really keeps this Wine extremely well balanced. Fresh and lively. This one makes me wonder why I do not enjoy sherry more often. Thanks again to Kasey and Pete. Happy Birthday, Carol. — a year ago

9.0

Baby Burg from woods of NW NC, had some polish & elegance — Bourgogne level w/plenty of oak influence, spice, dill, vanilla, toffee and some pear, lemon oil. Just really tasty, vibrant acidity leading to decent finish. QPR out the wazoooooo — 25 days ago

Bin 17 Unoaked Chardonnay 2020

Quite tart and smooth. Not as heavy as a usual Chardonnay, almost like it’s skipping (happy). Very lemony and bright. A hint of peppery spice at the end. Definitely not oaky. — 10 months ago

🔥 love this stuff, legit NC CF which I’ve had through the years and it is just getting better and better. Such freshness, vivid flavors: just picked cherries, florals, sweet herbaceous notes, white pepper, varietally correct. Med weight, structured but pliable tannins, juicy acidity really conveying flavors thru to impressive finish and all for $15 — a month ago

Chapel Down

Tenterden Bacchus 2017

Punchy, aromatic, mouth filling. Maybe added complexity with its age? Prefered to hush heath during wine tasting with Margie at Carol and Andys. All things good about English summer. — 2 years ago
