9.1

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. — 5 months 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. — 4 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. — a year 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%. — a year 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. — 2 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. — 4 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 — 4 years ago
