Seth finally made an unoaked Chardonnay! Pale yellow color. Initial taste of soft soft lemons and softer honey. Ever so slight oakiness on the back. Quick finish of minerals. — a year ago

Nice history lesson.

Bodegas Faustino

Gran Reserva Faustino I Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1970

Oldest wine I’ve ever had and an impressive showing at 50 years. Bit brown and leathery but the fruit, acid, and tannin are all still showing. Notes of Nixon and moon landing. — 4 years ago

Tanzen Dame Edelzwicker Black Cap (formerly called Halbtrocken) Cayuga Blend 2014

I swear I get Big Mac bun on the nose in the best way possible (short of an actual Big Mac). A fun region, a fun natural wine, a fun label that pays homage to the hairstyles of the Nixon era. — 7 years ago

Gandona

Encosta Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

This puppy has a nose bigger than Nixon. Ton of cassis, licorice and alcohol. I guessed this was 15.2% and turns out it's 15.3% (+/- so maybe I'm right - either way, a wine that will f you up). Gripping tannins and acidity, this juice is alive. It's alive! Berries, chocolate, other tooth staining corrosives. Finish is just beginning. Paired very well with steak and Mac and cheese. In conclusion: a bit over the top yet very much enjoyable nonetheless. — 8 years ago
