Delicious and gorgeous. Very pale yellow. Originally smells of toasted coconut and honeysuckle but morphs into a lightly buttered and salted popcorn. Tropical flavors with a briney edge. Bone dry, almost puckering. Very happy with this. — a year ago
Nice straightforward Albariño that would be better in Summer than during this cold season. The wine radiates sunshine with bright fruit flavors. Nicely tropical with a fruity nose. A great value. — 3 years ago
Cannonau di Sardegna wines have been linked to heart health and have attracted attention for their association with longevity.
Cannonau grapes are thought to have originated on Sardinia and are the orgin of Grenache grapes. Taste the sunshine of Sardinia, red berries light finish of tannins and granite. Drink and repeat. — 4 years ago

Blended from select estate vineyards in the Wairau Valley of New Zealand’s world famous Marlborough wine region, the tropical guava and passion fruit flavors of this Sauvignon Blanc are balanced perfectly with crisp acidity, stony minerality and citrus notes. This lively, fresh and dry wine is aged in 100% stainless steel tanks and is best enjoyed chilled. — 9 months ago

Wine: Inazio Urruzola Txakolina Rose
Varietal(s): Hondarrabi Zuri
Appellation: Getariako Txakolina, Spain
What I love about it: Spring is here! Last week was such a tease, no? Either way, I see exactly 0 rain and a few days in the 60’s in the 10-day forecast at the moment. This Txakolina (say it with me, Cha-Coh-Lee-Nuh, doesn’t it sound like it would be Buddy the Elf’s favorite word?) from Basque country screams for warm weather and patio chillin. Ever-so-slightly effervescent, salty raspberries, crisp green apple, minerality for days, so fresh and so alive! For ultra authentic drinking, drink it out of a poron (watch some youtube vids). Extra credit for being able to guzzle while pouring with a fully extended arm!

2022. Sparkling Rosé made with 70% Cabernet Franc and 30% Petit Verdot. Their 2020 wine of the same name was a Verjus/Piquette blend with high acidity and low %abv. I liked that bottle very much, but this more traditional rosé was just straightforward delicious. Picked up a few bottles after our monthly visit to the winery. — 7 months ago
