Pouilly-Loche Chardonnay 2022

Refreshing, apple notes, light and easy drinking, perfect for a hot patio season. We love it, but prefer a bit more mineral finish. 9 for Vika, in the 8s for Gio — 2 years ago

Dingač Winery

Plavac Red Blend 2010

Very light and warm on the nose. Starts pleasantly sweet which is immediately followed by a dryness that not only compliments the flavor, but goes very well with a spread of peppered meats. The dry drops out on the finish leaving you warmed and a light fig taste that stays with you... Thanks Gio for the recommendation — 11 years ago

Russian River Vineyards

Estate Grown Pinot Noir 2016

A night that I needed (wanted) something comforting and very good - this fit the bill. Have to say I’m also a sucker for a signed bottle (kudos to Gio for signing this one!) Lots of strawberry and some raspberry mixed with blueberry on the nose and palate. A silky sensation that went down very smooth. All that being said, I think this might be well served with another 1-3 years on the rack. — 6 years ago

Martorana Family Winery

Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

'09, the last year we had amazing grapes up here in the Emerald Triangle and this one proves it. Purchased in 2013 I had forgotten I had it. WOW!! Best I've ever had. Gio is simply amazing and continues to show he is, year after year. When back, and there it was! Couldn't believe the still had some...last bottle. Decisions, decisions. Gio is still outdoing himself. Amazing Olive Oil here too! A must if ever near "Dry Creek Valley" — 12 years ago
