Opened at least an hour prior to service. The 2016 Furore Bianco “Fiorduva” pours a deep straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with beautiful notes of yellow and white flowers, quince, kumquat, and saline minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This wine is simply awesome. I’d love more of this in my life. Drink now. — a month ago

Thought this was a nicely balanced Pinot from the Ponzi family. Red fruits followed with a little herb note. — 6 years ago

2015 Merkelbach Kabinett is juicy & approachable. The album Cloud Corner by Marisa Anderson is a perfect counterpoint with its deliberate pace & nuanced moments. Following the music, the wine unfolds to show beauty beyond the all to easy drinkability — 7 years ago

Apple nose, some on the palate too. Creamy, rich mouthfeel. Sweet but not cloying. Very rich. The appassimento is evident. Delicious for Valentine's Day 2023 from our wedding vintage year 2015 — 3 years ago

Sho-nuf I like my chateauneuf! Wild, floral, but muscular and strong.

Usually, I try to pay attention during wine tastings, but honestly a lot of the time I am just imagining how well I would do in American Gladiators. Especially the early 90s version. (When I was a young and impressionable kid.)

I thought Malibu was an idiot and I knew I could take him out in the jousting competition, though I was certain Nitro would bash my head in with a pipe pretty quickly. Diamond... she scared me. The intense lipstick reminded me of some horrible creature of the night in search of blood. I preferred Lace. In fact, I really preferred Lace. (The first version: Marisa Pare. Not the later Lace played by Natalie Lennox Merritt.) I imagine the reason I have a penchant for wild tangled hair now is because of my infatuation with American Gladiator Lace when I was 4-7 years old. When I was younger, I would often imagine battling with Lace. As the events got more intense she would throw herself on top of me in frustration and we'd roll down the gladiator pyramid, making out in a heap of sexual energy and wild animalistic thrusting.

But I digress.

This wine smells like Lace. — 6 years ago
