Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Grésy

Barbera d'Asti 2014

An ideal wine for pushing through Hump Day and shit both figurative and literal (i.e., dirty diapers). Dark fruits, md-full body, medium tannins, light black pepper. Italy just speaking to me these days. — 6 years ago

Teran 2012

Croatia!

Color is so inky purple/ruby, you'll never be able to see through this wine, it's a figurative black hole!

Palate has great acidity, ripe raspberry with cocoa dust is the best flavor description, maybe a light amount of green herb quality. The wine is continually focusing itself in the glass, more amazing depth reveals with each sip.

Should you even come across an Istrian Teran, buy it! $23 was the admission price for this journey tonight. We'll finish the bottle tomorrow, I need to see how it develops in 24 hours.

Sonoma County Fumé Blanc Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Bright, very bright. Not blinding, but definitely bright enough to warrant the figurative mouth sunglasses. The first swig is almost aggressive in it's tang - very fruity and held together with some acidity (the partnership works well). Then it hangs around a little, showing off it's body, which is fairly stocky like a water polo player without being the least bit overweight. It climbs out of the mouth-pool rather quickly, as if it weighed but a feather, dripping a little trail of mineral taste as it heads for the locker room, leaving you wondering how such a robust body can still seem so light and how it can start out almost sweet and finish almost dry. And how bad this review is. (I have no idea what I'm talking about.) But it's a solid wine - really solid. — 10 years ago

Domaine Karydas

Naoussa Xinomavro 2011

2011. I don't go in for overly figurative tasting notes but this wine's got moxie, character. It knows what it's about. Others mentioned nebbiolo, but from the Hellenic side of the street. I agree, and with the Greek element comes some brio, some spunk. A wink and a conspiratorial smile. Let's cut to the chase: I really like the wine. $29. 13.5% abv. — 7 years ago
