Three Finger Jack
Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel 2019
You get splinters on your tongue from the barrel. Not disappointing at all — 4 years ago
Saint-Chamant
Brut Champagne Cuvée de Chardonnay 2008
Love this! Great rec from the crew at Brooklyn Wine Exchange. Buttery toast, bright and vibrant citrus fruit and a dry, mineral finish. — 6 years ago
Houghton
Jack Mann Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Fabulous layers of silky tannins burst onto the palate with rich berry flavours
Consistently rated highly (97 & 98 pts) by Western Australian specialists it is probably little known outside Australia.
It’s from Franklin River and not the better known Margaret River region.
Named after the winemaker responsible for 51 vintages of this masterpiece it’s a testament to his craftsmanship.
The 2021 is James Halliday’s Australian wine of 2025.
I think this is better.

The Red Hook Winery
Jamesport Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2017
What an interesting wine. 100% Sauvignon Blanc that is vinified in Brooklyn, NY from North Fork, Long Island fruit. This is a skin fermented white. Straw golden in color, but an orange wine in style. Lovely aromas and flavors of peach, grapefruit and ginger. Beautifully funky all the way through! Sharp acidity and a lingering finish. Each sip makes you want more. What a pleasant surprise. Thanking Kylie for the bottle and suggesting that Kasey share this one with me. — 2 years ago
Monteverro
Terra di Monteverro Toscana Red Blend 2014
July 7, 2021. Dinner w/KK 😁 Jack D, and J2. Celebrating KK return to CoMO, albeit just a visit. She brought pizza, I pulled out this wine. Perfect w/pizza and a lovely super Tuscan from Maremma. 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. Slightly different than the 2012 vintage I drank and rated in March. This is just as yummy, though less aged so more fruit (dark cherry) and less earth and leather. Still wonderful. Drank both bottles I had. Need more! — 5 years ago

Jack Winery
Atlas Peak Pinot Noir 2019
Well, baseball season started. I am not a baseball fan. Too boring. But, hey, never say never and now with the rule changes who knows ….. Jack winery is created by two former baseball players Chris Ianetta and Vernon Wells and we finally tried the 2019 Jack’s Pinot….FANTASTIC!! Spicy, good tannin/acidity structure and complex balanced finish. Was so worried this be another fruit driven ‘Russian Valley’ Pinot. Couldn’t be further from the truth! Had the structure of a Premier Cru from Cote d’Nuit and the earthiness of a Central Otago New Zealand. Pinot. Loved it — 3 years ago
Château Reverdi
Cru Bourgeois Listrac-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2016
The Château Reverdi 2016 is comprised of 60% Merlot, 30% Petit Verdot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 12 months in small French oak barrels, 10% of which are new. First, use a good large glass. This is a classic Listrac-Médoc in a very great vintage, and it needs room to stretch out. Complex, exotic aromas unfurl gradually, and then erupt from the glass, with sun warmed wild blackberries, ripe cassis, griotte cherries, and eucalyptus moving in and out of the foreground, adding Perigord truffles, crushed violets, and freshly sanded cedar, as the nose evolves in the glass. On entry, the wine is concentrated, structured, and palate coating, with a solid core of wild blackberries, fresh fennel, and sweet black currants that echoes the nose —the Petit Verdot showing through with its muscular, fresh raciness, and the flavors are wrapped in plush, luxuriant, fine grained tannins. Drink now, for its incredible primary black fruit, or lay away in a cool dark cellar for at least a decade.— Moore Brothers Wine Co., Brooklyn — 5 years ago
Jan de Weerd
A Bordeaux blend from one of our favorite small wineries on Altlas Peak where they grow small, flavor intense berries on vines struggling in the shallow, rocky, iron rich volcanic soils. This blend is less intense but more nuanced than the 2017 blend we first tasted discovering this winery. — 3 months ago
