Purr & Eerlijk

Thymiopoulos Vineyards

Earth and Sky Terre et Ciel Xinomavro 2020

Brooding and inky as can be on the nose—it channels my cat’s perturbed-at-any-noise ears. But it has earth and red cherries. The palate is bright and brilliant, and the tannins are medium plus but so silky you’d hardly notice them. Except you do. The acid and alcohol are bracing, with more florals coming through, tempering all the brash leather and earth notes with a touch of femininity. You can drink it alone, but it desires food and the nearby purr/bark/whatever-noise-spders-make sound of your pet. — 3 months ago

Gato Negro Central Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Party wine. Excellent. Seriously I’d take this to any party both to slurp and share. It’s good. It’s...party wine. Complex not especially but tasted along side some other grocery store level wines this levels the fuck up. Also fuck yeah black cats. I apologize being a cat person and in particular a black cat person I’m maybe predisposed to this but if you want a wine under ten dollars that doesn’t reek of bullshit this is it. It’s very nice and simple and blackberries but not...obnoxious wanna call out other grocery store cabs but won’t. I like this gato. Simple but friendly purr. Am I giving a wine that costs about 6 bucks an 8.9? I am. Meow — 6 years ago

Montebruna Barbera d'Asti 2013

9.2

Herb-wrapped rose, honey graham suggestion, blood sausage, salty black olive, sassafras, plum. Great texture, tannins that purr, and acid that throws the right amt of baseline. And that black cherry on the nose!! Grab yourself a sexy date and settle in (even if this is your sexy date). — 9 years ago

Demi Sec Central Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

I have never tasted a better Chardonnay! And how was it only $7 at Publix 🤨🤨🤨

Tbh, I didn’t know Chardonnays could be sweet previously. I always thought Chardonnays tasted like butter (they do). But this tastes like SWEET butter. Purr. Enough said.

Great purr fruit. Seamless mouthfeel. Bright red cherry fruit. Smooth tannins. Not on my radar screen. Maybe it should be. — 9 years ago

@Gilbert Van Hassel Unfortunately I only have 1 bottle of his CDR. Unlikely to get in the rotation anytime soon.

Dutcher Crossing Winery

Bacigalupi Vineyard Chardonnay 2016

Oh Dutcher you got me. I tend to be a not-into-Cali-chard girl but Dutcher shows up. Any variety any time. Everything is subtle except the nose which screams “I am Chardonnay! But I won’t roar I’ll purr” then you sip and think hell this is all the California Chardonnay Things but in balanced happy harmony: the vanilla, the butter, the oh so delicate oak...Dutcher never disappoints. A deep riff of acid slinks through this and balances all. Get in. — 6 years ago

Hugel et Fils

Sélection de Grains Nobles Alsace Gewürztraminer

Grand Cru Gewurtz. Lychee liqueur, rose petal vodka, sultana, orange rind. Intense aromatics and flavours but sweetness is overt without the acid and alcohol is more than just a purr here. Needs food — 8 years ago
