Fancy stuff for the World Cup. Maybe the best champagne I’ve had. Smells toasty and slightly bread like. Flavors are citrus and saline. Bright and delicate. Lovely. — 3 months ago

A classic aged red wine. Old books and cherry stuff. Ripe and really fancy tasting. Perfect pairing with French’s Potato Sticks… — 5 years ago

Our highly flavorful Red Blend starts with a fine wine that undergoes a secondary fermentation with raspberry juice. The result is an elegant full-bodied wine with notes of red berries with light oak and a velvety smooth finish. — 6 years ago

‘Cool castle bro’ label. Deep red color. Smells like old books, dry cherries and unsweetened chocolate nibs. Flavors are strange with gun-smoke tea, fancy tonic water and berry pies. Plenty dry. Chewy. Complex. Winey, like a Winesap apple. It’s not raisin-y. It could have more depth and bite perhaps, but overall it’s very enjoyable. — 7 years ago

Fairly dense red, moderately extracted pigment. Black cherry, black currant, mint and butter aromas. Fairly ripe flavors of cherry, blackberry, black currant in mouth, rounded mouthfeel, slightly tart blackberry and cranberry on finish with seed bitterness and mild skin astringency. Lactic aftertaste. After an hour, white pepper and then, 90 minutes later, cocoa emerges in the finish and aftertaste. After two hours, barrel smoke emerges. Great fruit, nothing too fancy on the winemaking end (perhaps deceptively so) but exactly what I’d want from a Lodi Italian varietal like Barbera, especially if you can decant an hour or two and wait for that white pepper and cocoa to emerge. — 7 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two hours. The 2019 pours, a pale garnet color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of raspberry, tart cherry, strawberry, star anise, red flowers, pine nuts, dry earth, old wood, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. This is a lovely Chianti Classico that may not be fancy, but it is certainly honest. Enjoy now through 2034.  — a year ago

Fancy tawny port. This one was strong and had decent carmel, prunes and hazelnut flavors. Sweet AF. I think we had the ‘94 also — 5 years ago

Got this at the fancy lookin wine store in town. The woman was really nice and she suggested this when we said we had been drinking natural wine recently. It’s really good! — 6 years ago

Unless I win the lottery, one of only ways to try fancy wines like this is to choose lesser vintages. Apparently the 2014 wasn’t one of their best years but that didn’t stop this from being a tasty glass at all. Powerful nose of red meat thrown on a wood-burning grill and equally strong portions of black plum and tea on the tongue. Tannins linger for an encore. — 6 years ago

The classic London Dry Gin. Not fancy modern and citrus, or herbal. This is about the juniper. Love it. Better than Beefeater IMHO. — 7 years ago

I’m not sure if I’ve tried a hazy IPA before, but if they’re all like this one, I’m hooked! So smooth and hoppy but not too bitter, fruity notes and goes down easy! — 6 years ago

Classic, rustic Nebbiolo. Nothing fancy, but certainly enjoyed. Needed a lengthy decant which I did not give it. Will be interesting to see how this develops over the next several years. Rating may very well improve. — 7 years ago

Lambrusco is the perfect warm weather wine. This has the nose of dirt (that is a good thing) and the palate of lavender, cherry🍒, olives and cured meat. Speaking of cured meat, this fizzy red (serve chilled for optimal perfection) is 👌 with Sopresatta , Finocchiona and Prosciutto. Also, some fancy cheese (dinner is served-you’re welcome💁🏻‍♀️). Oh and the label is sewn and possibly denim so that’s pretty cool. A.must.try. — 7 years ago
