Mead is an acquired taste but can be wonderful.

Southold Farm + Cellar

Foregone Conclusion Letkeman Family Vineyard Alicante Bouschet 2017

Alicante Bouschet is typically used for color - Forgone Conclusion is certainly pigment enhanced, thick skinned, and sooty - almost alarmingly lean at 10.64% ABV. If you’re ok with raw, it works. Tart notes of red blueberries, blackberries, and nail salon varnish. — 4 years ago

Sure is @Tom Casagrande It falls in line with southold’s style - lean, raw, dense. This is good but not as good as their best

Château La Vivonne

Les Puechs Côtes de Provence Mourvedre 2016

I know I'm giving a Provence a 94 pt rating..but this is truly one of the most balanced, elegant, refreshing, and well rounded rosés I've ever had. Made by Château La Vivonne, of whom I've only experienced their Bandol rosés, but this the best by far. The nose is lifted, floral, and invigorating, and the color is star bright, a perfect hue of pale salmon. The pallet is structured with finesse and focus, with an acidity that is soft, and bright at the same time. Think - cotton candy, wildflower, and lemon oil on the nose, and juicy Meyer lemon, raspberry, and white pepper on the pallet with a light grapefruit finish. Nothing is angular, everything is in beautiful flow. Stunning.. This is my new drink of spring! (While it rarely lasts in Texas)

If you're good with dough and make a mean pizza, try this with a Napolitano style pizza with spinach, Mozz, Asiago, Grand Padano, garlic, olive oil, and a squeeze of Almafi Coast Lemon (Meyer works as well)..it was the perfect recipe for a great Sunday brunch.

$16.99 - try it!

Love value wine. Thank you

Enderle & Moll

Spätburgunder Rosé 2020

In the hottest summer since forever, Enderle & Moll Spat rose is the solution to my Texas problem. This works for when I want red and red doesn't want to work. It's the heart and soul of German Spat with the ability to quench thirst. A cool dip off Liason, with more texture and thicker concentration.

It doesn't look like Rose'. It looks like 20 year old Barolo - crimson with browned edges. Awesome cherry laden notes. Fresh bing - dark to stain your fingers. And candied cherry too - like Ludens cough drops. And mint and menthol. And that texture - this is 13.5% ABV, but not syrupy the way Bandol rose's can be.

It's own exceptional thing. Drink at cellar temp.

Dickson

Syrah 2004

Still alive and kickin. This was truly special. Slight amount of VA (as with most of Lewis' wines) but it works well here. Crunchy red fruits, rose petals, tar and garrigue. Acidity and minerality are spot on. — 7 years ago

Massican

Annia Napa Valley Tocai Friulano Blend 2019

Acid and freshness is what this wine is all about. Great poolside or at the beach. Works well for Texas heat. — 4 years ago
