Very good Syrah- medium body and all else in balance. Not overly peppery. — 5 months ago

Il Tabarro Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2020

This reminds me of how good Valpo’s used to be in the 60s and 70s before ripassos and appassiamento took over. (Possibly a tad riper thanks to global warming, though.) Ripe crunchy berry fruit, a bit of spice, almond extract, and some kind of non-oak wood (even though the back label says oak) in the lively nose. Soft and lively in the mouth, with a nice cleansing bitter note growing on the finish. Medium-light body. No tannin to speak of. Yummy pasta or pizza or salumi wine. Drink now! — 8 months ago

Pet Garg Puglia Orange Falanghina 2018

Refreshingly dry zippy citrus balanced with body from the skin contact. Way too easy to drink. Just the way sparkling should be. Pairs tremendously well with cheese and salty crackers. — 6 years ago

Valentina Snake River Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2018

Outstanding balance. New and old world. Great fruit with baking spice, some tobacco, excellent tannin, and lingers on the palate. I hope this is what Idaho Bordeaux style continues to produce. Well done! — 5 years ago

Bodegas Pagos de Matanegra

Finca Valentina Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2013

Elegante. Especiado en nariz. En boca destaca sobre todo las especias que aporta la madera (24 meses en barrica). El 2013 es mas equilibrado todavía que el 2015. Acidez casi perfecta.

Organic Sangiovese

Very good value for money a great wine. Had it with lemon pasta and the pairing was a great hit. Make sure too drink it at room temperature to get the full benefit of this wine. I had it a bit too cold which closed it up a little, but have also had it at the right temperature and then it even works well on its own. Lots of berries and very well rounded wine, seldome found at this pricepoint. — 5 years ago

Progetto Calcarius

Ca 40.08 Nù Litr Orange Puglia Falanghina

Super duper crushable. This wine is the very definition of a summer wine. 100% Falanghina. The color of a sunset, this pours a slightly hazy copper salmon. On the nose it’s white flowers and stone fruit. On the palate, it’s ripened apricots, peach skin, rhubarb and bitters. Finish is lasting. Balanced. Works with simple meals. I truly hope Valentina has nothing to do with her Father’s (allegedly) shitty business practices. A truly compelling quaffer. — 6 years ago
