Garofoli

Podium 30 Anniversario Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore 2021

Delightfully herbal and slightly spicy, infinitely fresh. It will draw you in with fennel whimsy and keep you there with citrus zest familiarity but then it finishes with a slightly minty kick. Utterly playful and mouthwatering (surely there are more connections between those synonyms than wine). A really good wine I think could…age. There I said it. This white wine could age. — 6 months ago

Whimsy! Four Mile Creek Minerality Chardonnay 2012

Quite delicious. Caramel, very ripe fruit on nose with a rich and full finish. Served with slow roast salmon and sauteed greens. Alcohol a little high (I'm guessing it was just the season) but very enjoyable and fun to drink at eight years old. — 4 years ago

She Drives a Plymouth Satellite New England India Pale Ale

She Drives a Plymouth Satellite by Fat Orange Cat Brew Co. is a New England style IPA. I love the name and the artwork. Such whimsy. This beer is a rich expression of the genre with mango and lychee notes. Thick and smooth. It's a delicious smoothy of a beer. @Delectable Wine — 5 years ago

Yolo County Albariño 2022

Whimsy on the label. Color is great. Sorta glint of gold in the silvery shimmer. Smells of lemon peels and apple-pear juice. Hint like Sauv Blanc. Flavors are balanced and smooth. Slightest of sweet with plenty of Meyer lemon and Oro Blanco grapefruit. Citrus in spades. Tannins are strong and pleasing to finish. This is still a winner. Maybe not as stunning as it was the first couple times I had it, but a perfect wine with white meats (including fish), shoshitos and lighter cheeses. — a year ago

Beautiful Ruby color. Chilled for 15m before serving.

Green rhubarb, salal, bit of vinegar and alcohol on the nose. Touch of dark chocolate

Great mouthfeel, light and fresh with just a touch of tannin. Juicy and savoury. Cherry, plum, rhubarb. Bright acidity, low alcohol.

The Other Right

Moments of Strange Magic Adelaide Hills Viognier 2017

I’m not an art critic - but I’m tempted to give this wine some sort of label awards. The whimsy of the bottle aside, I’m not all too well versed in the Viogniers of Australia. This one maintains so much of its varietal character - dried honeycomb, white blossoms, apple skin - yet finds an entirely different rhythm. Restrained on the nose, yet boisterous on the palate, it eventually recedes into a textural experience - broad and tactile in its pollenous, chamomile flavors. — 7 years ago

Pétille Idylle Crémant de Savoie Sparkling Blend

It’s so good af. Sappy like that savory heavy hint of green things by also peaches but ripe tangerines and white peaches. An amalgamation of wonk and whimsy. Domaine d’Idylle making me happy. Per the usual. I should visit Savoie. — 5 years ago
