Casta Diva Cosecha Dorada Moscatel 2021

Such a damn fine example what Muscat de petit grains dried in the sun can be. Made into the sweet (but not too sweet), spicy aromatic concoction that can be found in many countries. Miel? Yes but I get a lot of dried apricot equally. The residual sugar is IMHO perfectly balanced by the remaining acids. One of the best examples of desert Muscat I've had anywhere. Good cold but maybe even better at cool room temp.

Diva Prestige Cuvee Napa Valley Sparkling Blend 2001

Fabulous after 20 years. Took 15 min for a sour-tartness to mellow out, but it was delicious with fruity, flinty, and bready notes… wish we had more! — 3 years ago

Emmolo Winery

Napa Valley Merlot 2020

I always listen to the sommelier, and usually order what they recommend. This was one of those times, and we couldn’t be happier. A monster Merlot, 14.9% ABV, but smooth as silk. Delightful with our prime rib. Here we are in the middle of the Caribbean on the last night of a cruise, enjoying ourselves at a wonderful restaurant, the Cosmopolitan. — a year ago

Extra Brut Champagne Rosé De Pinot Meunier

Paired with burgers on hot day, great. Red fruit, bitter, reminded me of Pimms or a Cosmopolitan, snappy. Opened up well. — 5 years ago

Casta Diva Cosecha Miel Alicante Muscat 2014

I ask for a sweet wine not from Jerez (Sherry) and she gives me a taste and says do you want a full glass? To this wine I say F*#& yes! Super acidity makes this drinkable as heck! Passion fruit, papaya, beeswax, honeysuckle and bitter orange notes on the nose and palate. Nice mouthfeel, with body yet super smooth. Paired with chocolate mousse and passion fruit ice cream, I am feeling extremely guilty and already planning my run for tomorrow morning! — 5 years ago

Giuseppe E Figlio Mascarello

Mascarello Barolo Nebbiolo 1964

Tasted blind. Dark red and opaque. Notes of tart cherries, earth, molasses, some wood, and a hint of VA that blew off. Rich fruit in the mouth. Monolithic though, and very quiet compared to the diva 64 Giacosa that is singing next to it. Perhaps it was the less air time that this had. What a treat to taste two great 64 Barolos side by side, brought brown-bagged by two different people. — 5 years ago
