Wild Meadow Vineyard Chardonnay 2022
This wine is a lovely golden color. The nose carries plenty of lemon, citrus minerality, and a touch of oak spice. The palate has a good bit of acidity, lemon, stone fruit, and vanilla. It finishes long, full of citrus and a bit of apricot. This wine is made for seafood, but will also fit well with chicken or lemony pasta dishes. — a day ago

Trump Winery
Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon Monticello 2018
Toasting the new (and former) President’s recent Election Victory. Deep ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of black plum/currant/raspberry fruit with a touch of leather and smoke. Same fruits on the palate with touches of black pepper and dark chocolate. Medium finish that is a bit oaky and slightly bitter. A bit thin from a textural, tannin and mouthfeel perspective. Reasonable vintage. — 6 months ago
Randy Fuller
This wine is very dark. It has a fragrant nose, full of blue and black fruit, flowers, cedar, green pepper, and an underlying earthiness. The palate is fruity and rich, with blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. There is a bright acidity matched with gentle tannins. The finish is medium long and carries the fruit as a lasting memory. — 9 days ago
