Smells like you just walked into a florist shop!!! Beautiful floral and citrus notes!!!! It also has a very mild salty or minerality component. Give this under appreciated grape a try. Paired well with our grilled salmon and risotto tonight. — 5 years ago

This has a nice fresh nose of honeydew, tarragon and like a florist shops cooler (but not overly floral) if you know what I mean. To me there was hints of green pepper, dates and lemongrass that came out as you drank it. This went really well with some clams we had tonight. It also would be outstanding alone as well. Overall this is an outstanding glass of wine. — 7 years ago

The nose is an entire florist shop, such an intense bouquet! Dried tobacco and light strawberry play with rose petal on the palate. Must try wine of 2018! — 8 years ago

Domaine Marius Delarche

Les Vergelesses Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2018

Light, floral, and tight with a little, no perfume. I don’t want to call it thin, but it was lacking a bit in intensity. Solid green florist and herbal notes, tight concentrated fruit.  — a year ago

Rosemary Farm X Oberle's Florist Still Cider 2018

Very vinous, this one. Completely dry. An excellent cider. Wild apples rasterized. They do not grow these apples, they gather them from disused sites in Long Island. It’s a very cool project, but the cider that comes out of it is better than any I’ve had. I tend not to like cider, but again, this is the most vinous cider I’ve had. This bottle has a light effervescence, which these don’t usually have, usually they’re fermented totally dry and fermentation is complete and still. Could be this had a touch of rs on bottling, but it was totally dry upon opening. A fine effervescence that ends with an iodine note and some tongue coating tannins, some galangal, mint, and cinnamon verum, which are also on the nose, with lemon oil and raw sourdough. Some white cherries and neroli flavors on the tongue, and good acid, lift, and fine tannins that keep you coming back for more. This is excellent cider, full stop. Thanks @Erik Longabardi — 6 years ago

@Chris Shultz Thank you for the support; it’s people like you who give us the hunger and focus to go out on a limb, so to speak, to make something out of nothing. Grateful and humbled that it was tasting focused.

@Erik Longabardi i thought I remembered benford telling me to wait a bit on this one. This was as long as I could wait.

El Ciruelo Viñas Viejas Valle de la Orotava Listan Negro 2016

You can see through this liquid jewel like a piece of pomegranate colored tissue paper ~ wafting musky aromas reminiscent of walking out of a florist that also sells potpourri into a loamy earthen pasture ~ a flash of crunchy and vivid tart red berries quickly melds into a wild berry patch which is then dominated by said loamy earth, crushed minerals and a dusting of powdery pastilles — 7 years ago
