Sparkling to cook by. Tasty with some interesting mineral-driven complexity. A great accompaniment to working through Sunday’s mise en place. — 3 years ago

Dinner at the Villa Il Pioppo… chef Enzo cook a great meal — a year ago
Sea breeze, lemon verbena, green melon, mineral (hint of flunky) and an almond/vanilla note.
Greek salad was one of the first foods I learned to “cook” for myself, and it’s still a go to for me: salty, crisp, simple, refreshing, much like this delightful Greek wine. And most of the time, that’s more than enough. Made from the much maligned Savatiano grape (for its unfortunate association with retsina). It reminds me more of a Gavi, (lower acid) Chablis, or Soave than Assyrtiko.
Also, the bird on the label is wearing a bowler hat which is fun. — 3 years ago

A little different from the Rosés I drink but pleasant. Soft on the palate with micro oxygenation. Blood orange, we’ll cook rhubarb, poached strawberries, orange & tangerine citrus blend, some white citrus, extremely soft powdery chalkiness, limestone marl, baguette crust, crush rocks, light red & pink florals ( roses), nice acid, well balanced finished fruit & earth. 80% Pinot 20% Chardonnay @ Compline Tasting Bar — 2 years ago
They say to never cook with a wine you wouldn’t drink. Probably should have saved some. 😊 — 4 years ago

Red from Sancerre. Will wonders never cease? What’s impressive about this effort is how the mild and sunny weather of Loire did not over cook this wine. The flavors are strong, but restrained. It tastes like a lot of work went into getting an excellent balance of cherry, pencil shavings and lively acidity. Serving it a little chilled enhances the experience. — 9 months ago
