Catie’s Corner Vineyard, Tanya’s Vineyard and Pagani Ranch Malvasia Bianca Blend 2017

8.9

Overpriced exotic white blend from Sonoma: you get a bunch of that Malvasia nose, very floral, fennel, herbs, citrus-y, silky on palate, nicely integrated acidity - more austere on palate, lean/angular, herbaceous green edged, but w/decent power — 2 years ago

The Ojai Vineyard

Roll Ranch Vineyard Syrah 2002

Alive and kicking after being rescued from the back corner of the cellar. Black plum and raspberry fruit with smoked meat, baked earth and accents of wild herbs. Palate has a touch of raspberry jam with herbal notes and more roasted and smoked meats. Just enough tannin to feel the wine focused. Fun to find this drinking well even though it fades a touch with air. — 3 years ago

Lovely light pino - goes down a treat — 3 years ago

Podere Scopetone

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

Very classical brunello with all elements in the right corner. Modest but intriguing red fruits, pretty tannines and a decently long finish. 100,- + @ Pekelhaaring Amsterdam was maybe a 30,- off — 2 years ago

Laurent-Perrier

Cuvée Rosé Brut Champagne

With New Years around the corner, grab something nice for 2022. Made with 100% Pinot Noir from 10 different "crus " (or villages), from the North & South areas of the Montagne de Reims, as well as the famous Cote de Bouzy. Deep salmon pink with full aromas of berry fruit and citrus mineral notes wrapped in a delicate fine mousse. On the palate flavors of raspberry and strawberry, bright acidity with spicy notes and orange zest. Long silky finish, ending with earthy yeasty mineral character. — 3 years ago

Tamar Ridge

The Devil's Corner Chardonnay 2021

Clean, crisp and flavorful - a bit riper than Chablis but very much a cool climate Wine; this has green apple, green pear, acacia, flint and wet stone, and a bright bit of herbal greenery in the background. There is more body here than in Chablis with a hint of creaminess on the palate. Really enjoyable, a food-lover’s wine. Grilled lobster, steamed shrimp, fried chicken, the possibilities are endless. — 2 years ago

Rochioli

Three Corner Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011

2012 vintage. Really good; developed some additional notes beyond the big youth. Someone noted they smelled it 6 feet away. Indeed fragrant. — 4 years ago
