Floating Boat

Gamble Family Vineyards

Gamble Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2022

This wine is a party animal if like me your version of party is delicious food and drink but also maybe a fun dress and the part is gonna end up being 8 hours long because the music and company you cannot part from. Went to one of those this weekend that also involved a boat but lacked the wine element. Wish I’d had this.
It’s the perfect balance of funfunfun tropical/sweet grapefruit vibes with impressively poised acidity and a bit of salinity bringing the sophistication. Juicy too. Makes you thirsty for more. Party on.

Vino di Anna

Vino di Anna Bianco Sicilia IGT

2012 shows a great blend of Etna grapes, orange in color. Be prepared for a lot of floating remnants in the bottle, easy to overlook after the first sip! A real slugger, plan on a second bottle. — 3 years ago

Just a really enjoyable wine that is both hearty and even “ big” but still refreshing.
Clearly some Brett and some effervescent feel like may hint at VA, but I find both to be well integrated and enjoyable. A deep darker-side-of-red fruit profile: red and damson plum, dried red cherry, Black licorice, olive. Has a floral sense to it, and some exotic woody undertones as well earth - like a forest after the rain . A full bodied and almost lush wine that might recall the mouthfeel if a Napa cab, but with much more refreshing a acidity coming through - never the least bit cloying or overwrought. Simply a great wine with a broad food pairing potential. That said, I do wonder if it would taste dramatically different at the source. With zero sulphur amidst a long boat ride, life in distributor warehouses, a wine shop and ultimately my euro cave, whether the original intent is preserved in its entirety. Drinking fantastically but also wondering if peak drinking is 2-3 years ahead. Again, the sulphur thing...
