Azores my favourite right now . Seafood match can it be better . Lemon , acidity and the saltiness incredible wines . Antonio Macanita the master !! — 4 years ago
I mean I always say yes to Bedrock! Solid Zin can drink on its own. Great with food! Great bang for the buck! — 5 years ago
Palmer turned my head in general at a recent tasting—if you can get your hands on the 1996 vintage my gosh…but for exceptional Champagne at (if not everyday) more frequently do-able prices lean in. Toasty white bread with these citrus notes that…can I be honest? It reminds me when as a teen vegetarian in St Louis I’d do late night runs to Steak and Shake where my friends got burgers but I’d order toast and butter with a lime freeze. Those toasty but piquant and refreshing notes. Expect like that on a platter with even more nuance. Obvi it doesnt taste like that precisely but its toast and citrus vibes don’t let go and cream and apple butter are backup singers. Do drink Palmer. — 8 months ago
Can’t believe I drank through all of these so quickly, but then again, I can. Craft Wine Co is just 👌. The Omero chardonnay is a great entry level wine that also offers complexity and depth. Pale golden hues give way to lemon peel, bruised pineapple, yellow pears and with mineral undertones. Has a nice creamy texture and good amount of medium acidity. Nice lengthy finish. — a year ago
What can I say? Pleasure in a glass. I just really love me my Bedrock Evangelho and this vintage in particular. Intoxicating aromas of cinnamon, cigar box, sweet berry fruit and dried thyme/rosemary/mint. Full bodied and ripe, but really fine, silty (as opposed to silky) tannins give it structure and there is ample acid there providing a punchy freshness. Most surprisingly of all, is this wine’s deceptively light touch. I’m tempted to polish off the bottle in one sitting, but at 14.5% abv that would be a bad idea. Pair with Snoop’s half time show performance (we just won’t tell him that this puts his 19 Crimes to shame) Prior notes apply. — 2 years ago

Wine dinner with big group including Butch neighbor Art, Philip and Bewan. Vertical of 2013,1989,1984 and Reserve 1996. ‘13 still young and long aging potential. ‘84 stood out amongst three, ‘89 clearly lesser vintage and heading down. Reserve tastes like a young wine and can feel the tannin. Very interesting growing. — 3 months ago
