On the nose, orange and lime zest and wet stone. On the palate, citrus, minerals and lanolin. Crushable and yet, serious. These Chenin’s from Sandlands are so dope. A lovely first salvo for Thanksgiving. — 6 years ago

You’ve got to be kidding me. A 2007 Salvo Foti wine. A museum piece. Wonderful Etna Rosso minerals, herbs, deep red fruit. Thank you Alex, for finding and gifting it. — 2 years ago

Smells of mulberries with initial salvo of intense strawberries. Long, evolving finish that silks away with some tabacco and maybe even a fat green olive, some black pepper on the pallett. In this 7-year old vintage, tannins have all mellowed. — 3 years ago

This bottle was chosen as our opening salvo for the Cellar Raid. We paired it with Kaluga caviar and let me tell you: it's hard to think of anything more hedonistic than taking bumps of caviar while sipping vintage Champagne. Okay, back to the wine. The 2006 D-L BdB currently pours a bright golden color and while still quite effervescent, the mousse is no longer persistent. On the nose, you're immediately hit with a fresh croissant to the face. There's also bruised apple, lemon bar, honey and almonds. On the palate, the wine is dry and has such a lovely, creamy and viscous texture. Acid is zippy enough. Apples, marzipan, lemon and a touch of butterscotch. A lovely, balanced Champagne that's aging so gracefully. I have one more bottle and plan to enjoy that in the next 5-7 years. — 4 years ago

I probably drink too many Etna wines, so for a change here’s a Sicilian wine that is NOT from the volcano. It’s from the center of the island, near the city of Caltagirone, and it’s an unusual blend of two expected grapes (Nero d’Avola and Frappato) and one fairly unexpected one (Alicante Bouschet). Grown in dense vineyards planted with head-trained bush vines at about 1000 feet above sea level, this wine has a deep garnet color and a stony core surrounded by blackberry, licorice, and black cherry fruit. At once ripe and chiseled with acidity, this is a perfect expression of Sicily in many ways. It bears the i Vigneri stamp of consultant Salvo Foti, a good sign if there ever was one on Sicilian bottles. — 5 years ago

Absolutely insane rosé. Rich, lush strawberry and stone fruit, a milky, buttery umami note, beeswax, grapefruit, yeasty tones and minerality that suggest champagne. An absolute stunner. — 8 months ago
