Muri-Gries Alto Adige - Südtirol Pinot Grigio 2020

Call me a white suburban housewife if you want to but atleast try this wine first and you'll realize that I atleast have the pallate of an elevated suburban housewife. But seriously this is really good Pinot Grigio, a lot of mineral and green notes coming into the nose even when well chilled, and it has just the right acid balance. This fruit is much more elevated (get it?) than the low land Venizia pinot grigios. Need an elevated $16 p/glass PG for your Tribeca lunch crowd? Here it is.
A steal at $13 wholesale.

Château Kefraya

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2015

Bordeaux-esque blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault from Lebanon. Notes of black cherry, leather, oak, and spice. Bold, tannic, and full-bodied. A nice recommendation from the crew at Suburban Wines in Yorktown Heights, NY. — 5 years ago

Domaine des Ardoisières

IGP Vin des Allobroges Cuvee Argile Rouge Gamay 2017

This wine immediately hits you with barnyard and leather on the nose, followed by tart red fruit, plum, pepper, and herbs on the palate. Highly-pronounced minerality, like all of the other wines I've had by Domaine des Ardoisières. Lighter-bodied than Gamay from Beaujolais, but no less worthy of praise. Simultaneously easy-drinking and complex. Purchased at Suburban Wines in Yorktown Heights, NY. — 5 years ago

Kelley Fox Wines

Durant Vineyard Lark Block Chardonnay 2018

Notes of lemon, ripe green apple, and vanilla, with perhaps some caramel or butterscotch on the finish as well. Creamy and luxurious, but well-balanced with refreshing minerality and a nice backbone of acidity. An absolutely gorgeous wine. Really enjoying Oregonian Chardonnay as a more affordable alternative to high-quality white Burgundy. Purchased at Suburban Wines in Yorktown Heights, NY. — 5 years ago

Domaine Sylvain Pataille

Bourgogne Aligoté 2017

A beautiful example of "the other white Burgundy". Dry with notes of green apple, lemon, and tropical fruit. M body, M+ acid with salty minerality. Great with pan-seared salmon for dinner. Purchased at Suburban Wines in Yorktown Heights, NY. — 5 years ago

Floral Terranes

Suburban Moraines Barrel Fermented Still Cider

Lean, mean, crisp apple and lemon oil, fresh herbs, intensely marine-influenced minerality and salinity. Lovely Chenin-like wooliness and energizing acid on the palate. Bravo to my friend @Erik Longabardi on this profound expression of Long Island history and terroir. — 6 years ago

Thank you for this note! The 2019 version is I think an even better effort that it’s 2018! Glad it’s holding up well!

Petit Ours Brun Côtes du Rhône Syrah 2019

Dark fruit with spice and pepper. Medium+ acidity, medium+ youthful tannins. Distinct minerality, reminiscent of wine from Cornas, but for a fraction of the price. Great value, especially since it was purchased on-sale ($18) at Suburban Wines in Yorktown Heights, NY. — 5 years ago

Un Saumon dans la Loire

Minéral + Montlouis-sur-Loire Chenin Blanc 2015

Scored this back-vintage Mineral+ off the shelf at Flatiron, actually my first go at this wine. I get the hype! Complex and delicious tree fruit, oxidized yellow apples, pears, lemons, dank sea spray and beach aromas, ripping acid with plenty of meat on the bones. Very very savory and saline, literally smells salty. I imagine the vintage gave this wine some extra weight, but the thiccness suits my palate fine. This wine actually reminds me of @Erik Longabardi ‘s Suburban Moraines cider- brings me back to an early fall day on the LI sound. Love it. — 6 years ago
