Old world wine that I’ll ponder later tonight in the dream world. Like a college 101 course in Barolo’s of another age. Leathery, tannic, balanced, dark cherry and plum, copper. A young gal out at her first dance, yet waltzing with the seductive wisdom of generations. Deeply grateful to know people who treat me to such divinity. — a year ago

Lovely, soft old gal with tons of fruit left in her. Bold summer berries on the approach that yield to sun-dried plums across a cocoa bridge. — 5 years ago

Yet another Napa Quake survivor. Probably my favorite winery and wine (really the Cabernet Franc) this old friend (was going to gal, but trying stay under the radar) held up just fine. @LaJotaVineyards — 2 years ago

A reminder that I owe Lambrusco a love letter. Usually I’m more of a di Sorbara gal, but this Grasparossa di Castelvetro has me hooked: violets, black cherry, cassis, a lot more earth than I was expecting, tart and chalky, like liquified smarties (but in a good way!) and just a hint of Welch’s grape jelly— all backed by a nice rustic tannin structure and topped with a delicate mousse. It’s a shame that Barbolini will no longer be exported to the US, though I can’t blame the Italians for wanting to keep it all for themselves. — 4 years ago

As I learn about some of these better White Burgundies, the element or really more a "consistent trait" is a simple joy that flows onto the palate that's like a warm smile from the right gal at the big party. Nothing at all sinister- just that warm welcome that promises to bring a good time along with it. The nose seems right in step with the aforementioned grin, with notes of nougat, golden-hued wrapped in a subtle, near-neutral bit of barrel. As it has breathed it's shifted into a more "relaxed gear", and is spreading out, revealing more of itself. Reaching the back of the palate and leisurely 'becoming' a finish it reflects the best bits of its strengths on the mid-palate.

Drinking this beautiful Rosè, on a beautiful day in Cassis with my beautiful French sister! Not typically a white or rosè gal, unless I'm spending my summers in the South of France! Très belle❣️ — 7 years ago
