Vinho Branco 2020

Portuguese varietal made by the new Cali, less intervention is more crowd, & it’s a delicious, uncomplicated, moderately green white. On sale for about 1/2 it’s sticker price as too much of a unicorn for most. — 7 months ago

I love this wine! And the quirky tasting place in Los Alamos/CA and stop over there whenever on my way to SF.

Santa Maria Valley Mencía 2021

Well this is damn delicious. Light purple with cute little cherry red accents. Immediately can tell this is natural. Natural, not poorly crafted. Everything is all good here with dark fruit notes on the nose. Plenty of clean funk going on here with a little bit of grass. Very pretty.

85% Mencia co-fermented with Arinto from the Santa Maria Valley. Exceedingly fresh and full of personality, you definitely don’t come across a domestic version of this everyday. More than just another light summer weird, this has plenty of depth to it. But it never lets up on the fun aspect. The palate is reminiscent of the nose with pretty fruit. Super impressive.

Jurasic Park Chenin Blanc 2021

Pure joy in the bottle. A fun summer afternoon back in the day spent with that girl that you still think about when that song comes on. Clear lemon in the glass with faint green flecks. Big floral aromatics initially with herbs and mint. Ripe pears and lemon curd with a dash of honeydew. Apple juice and fresh cut grass.

Richer and more full bodied than you were expecting with high acidity. Really, really nice texture and mouthfeel going on here. Vivacious and lively throughout. The attack is dominated by memories of her before things fell apart. When life was good and the sun shined a little more brightly. An exciting and lovely wine.

Santa Barbara County Malbec 2021

Yummy, take me to Santa Barbara!

Had 3.5 hours open and has just begun to speak to me…Its 2:30 AM, and really must be going… of course you’re a wine, that needs my attention at 2:30 am…

Needs good decant, times may very. Fantastic Sanata Barbara terrior - grass, soil… woot, Santa Barbara. Acid, mouthwatering good time, fruit plentiful, crisp grape skin, crunchy woody tannin, good-time funk

If I remember correctly, first discovered Lo-Fi at Ruby Wine in SF eons ago at a wine maker tasting “Natty Party”, was impressed then as I still am, good job Lo-Fi

Sweet Vermouth

The fragrance of sweet and pine and plump plump oranges being spritzed about.

Wow. Well deserved ratings I’ve seen. Really getting into vermouths and this white one has just changed my mind about white sweet vermouths. Nuanced and intense. Dried raisins but balanced with a minty, piney quality. Good chew.

Demetria Estate Syrah

Not as peppery as a typical syrah. Really deep flavors and slight brett. Closest thing to hunt 33 1/3 I've found. The best lo Fi I've had as of yet. — 2 years ago
