Brancott Estate

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Tart - Apple/grapefruit taste. Excellent with cheese and crackers. Roast pork with a pear based sauce and roasted carrots. Very enjoyable! — 20 days ago

Bodega Catena Zapata

High Mountain Vines Mendoza Malbec 2020

A perfectly smooth and well balanced new world red to enjoy with new friends at a nice old school New York City swanky hotel. Had this first as my float into a Devil’s Margarita which opened into a lovely discussion with some bar mates - and the end of which I made 2 new friends. A normal standalone glass of this is also quite wonderful and can stand by itself or go well with an accompaniment: snacks, cheese or a meal! — 10 months ago

Bread & Butter Wines

California Chardonnay

Strong diacetyl notes and rich, smooth oak flavor. Full bodied. Creamy with vanilla highlights. Goes well with a heavier cream pasta dish, soft cheese, poultry, pork, or simply on its own! — 4 years ago

Brut Rosé Champagne Blend

9.3

15 person Champagne tasting with friends.

We inserted what we all feeling is more or less the gold standard of n/v Rose’ to pair with duck and goat cheese on crostinis.

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars

Earthy and mushroom-y. Ate with ribs, Mac and cheese, corn casserole. Bought at Whole Foods. — 3 years ago

Bodega Garzon

Reserva Maldonado Tannat 2017

Fantastic. Deep dark red with a bluish tinge. First taste after opening is a tidal wave of blackberry with lingering tannins. Not overly sweet or juicy tho.
After airing blackberry partially gives way to black current and tannins seem to intensify. Almost too bold to drink alone but not. A triple creme cheese with this would be perfection.

La Rioja Alta

Reserva Viña Ardanza Rioja Tempranillo Garnacha 2009

2020 fall. This might be my favorite (at least for immediate enjoyment) among the wines guzzled on our recent Rioja binge. It’s open-knot, with lots of red fruit and spices like mace, but also has typical mature notes - that mushroom and cheese thing. At the same time, it doesn’t feel overly developed - it’s just layered. — 3 years ago
