La Spinetta

Il Nero di Casanova Toscana Sangiovese 2020

Wonderful wine! Dry as the Sahara desert, complex nose, cherry, herbs, very small touch of citrus. Long lasting on the palette. Paired beautifully with a crispy duck leg confit — a year ago

Louise d'Estree

Brut Champagne Blend

The only brut I've enjoyed drinking! Dry as it should be, but doesn't leave your mouth parched like the Sahara. Light crisp flavor, hint of vanilla & lemon. — 8 years ago

Fabig

Soul Sahara Sauvignon Blanc 2017

Grassy Czech, described to me as “not quite natural.” Which made it sound sinister — 7 years ago

Vilarnau

Barcelona Reserva Brut Rosé Blend

This fun bubbly brings the brut. It's Sahara dry, with a strong earthy and yeasty streak running through it. The unusual grape - Trepat - comes on with some of the earthiness of a North American variety, and provides a nice counterpoint to the Pinot Noir. It's my first time to taste Trepat, by the way, and I would do it again. Minerals all over the strawberry aromas and flavors hit very well, and provide food friendliness. Nice price alert: $16 — 8 years ago

Crianza Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2012

Earthy, leather, austere with dried fruit and tarty finish, full-bodied with grainy tannins and Sahara dryness finish. Yeah me likes! Very tasty blend of 97% of Tinto Fino and 3% CS. Extra points for the price. 89pts — 9 years ago
