Old-school Italian wine that is perfect for pizza. Somewhat thin and alcoholic but typical of wines served in Italian restaurants in Brooklyn when I was small. Flavorful and a perfect match to the marinara sauce of New York Patsy’s Pizzeria or Joe & Pat’s. — 2 years ago

Lemon, green apple, nutty, and floral notes with lots of minerality. Almost salty. Medium body but with an oily texture that coats your tongue, balanced with focused acidity. Roulot never disappoints. Purchased at Popina in Brooklyn, NY. — 5 years ago

Oh hell complex and juicy and fruity as f. Undercurrents of a mineral base. Picture those rocks that are mostly almost black but there is a speckle or so of white and that...is the mineral nature and it ballasts cocky-ass raspberries like this wine has an attitude. So damn good hope my (not so genius) tasting of a half bottle holds up. One last genius-ish thought: picture a newsies boy, cap and all doing a heel click while a Brooklyn winemaker toasts an old school french winemaker and that is your prettiness. I’ll pour it all into my Zalto. — 8 years ago

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. — 3 years ago

This Soave Classico Vigneto Sengialta Balestri Valda 2017 comes from a single hillside parcel of black basaltic soil planted to Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave. The grapes are hand-harvested, fermented separately, and matured in neutral 2000-liter botti for twelve months. In the glass, the wine has a saturated, deep yellow-gold color, with flashes of green-gold just at the edge. Aromas of sun-warmed yellow peaches, crystallized honey, marzipan, and acacia blossoms emerge at first, then alternate with fleeting suggestions of beeswax, grated nutmeg, and sage, as the nose evolves in the glass. On the palate, the wine honeyed and opulent, with a round, juicy core of sweet stone fruit and honey that echoes the nose, along with plenty of dry extract, deep saline minerality, and ripe tartaric acidity. The layered sweet core of honeyed melon and almond paste is seasoned with delicate bitterness, and the long elegant finish is punctuated with fine mineral grip. Drink now – 2030 (yes, the wine is irresistible today, but according to Laura Rizzotto, a bottle that hid unnoticed for fifteen or more years in a good cellar would be a treasure). — Moore Brothers, Brooklyn — 6 years ago

First orange wine I've wanted a second glass of. Crisp and refreshing but still complex. At D'Antan Brooklyn — 7 years ago

Nice rosé from the Canary Islands. The bitter finish keeps it from getting too fruity. Refreshing, but kind of serious. Maybe best for an austere day at the beach. Or in Brooklyn. 😉 — 8 years ago

Classic Nebbiolo aromatics. Dried flower petals, dusty cherries, herbs, cocoa nibs and lots of grip. BYOB at Lucali pizza in Brooklyn.

This is in a great spot and really pops with food.
Bit hot at 14.5%. — 3 years ago

Adore this wine, admittedly because it’s a special one to Kelly and me. But at least we picked a good wine to be special for us.

I don’t mess with a ton of Syrahs, but this one’s different. Earthy, not too dry but not fruity either. — 3 years ago

Juicy with notes of cherry, plum, and rosemary and lots of minerality. Aromatic, intense, and savory. Very nice structure with velvety texture offset by M+ acidity and well-integrated tannins. Purchased at Popina in Brooklyn, NY. — 5 years ago

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 — 6 years ago

“... aromas of ripe forelle pears, white peaches, and buckwheat honey along with fleeting suggestions of linden flowers, lavender, and freshly sliced poblano peppers as the nose evolves in the glass.

“On the palate, the wine is a rounder and fuller counterpoint to racy Sancerre, with briny, sea salt-seasoned flavors of fresh pineapple, Meyer lemon, and ruby grapefruit interwoven with firmly hewn salty silex minerality.” — Moore Brothers Wine Co., Brooklyn — 6 years ago
