I read like a broken record. My prior notes apply. Excellent, contemporary example of the varietal. Bivio Pizzeria, Montclair, NJ. — 16 days ago

My snowboarding bud just opened a pizza joint in Montclair, NJ. Making dough from scratch and serving it quick, and the quality!!!
SugarShack became the pizza’s perfect foil. Lovely butterscotch notes on the nose transitioned to citrus notes on the mid palate. Just enough acid to caress the Italian mozzarella. I love the moderate sweetness this wine possesses. Overall, another excellent example. — a month ago

Mineral and acetone on nose. Touch sour, lemon rind and orange pith, steely long note. Drink very cold. Best with oysters, prawns, summer vegetables and a long, lazy late summer dinner outside. The choice by-the-glass white at Faubourg in Montclair. — 5 years ago

Poured on Valentine’s Day with a skirt steak and roasted veggies Israeli style with tahini. Smooth. Zero bite for 14.7% alcohol which does hit the nose. Unfortunately didn’t hold after 40 minutes which hurt its score. Started 9.2 and ended 8.8. Montclair NJ. — a year ago

Grafs family minus K visit (Ho left) mom BD 5/7/22. Cab lineup through the decades. As previous. As with the’69 Martini it went well with grilled salmon. Hsing’s pick on 5/9 though it had faded a bit and the hint of sweetness had mostly disappeared. — 2 years ago
