Alsace Gewürztraminer 2018

Off-dry. Heavy, heavy rosewater / grandma perfume with intense aromatics and a very oily texture. Tread lightly unless you’re heavily into gewurz — 4 years ago

Not really my jam, mostly because it does actually taste like blackberry jam. To be fair, there is some really expensive oak flavors showing, and not just as obvious vinilla, but as black tea and maybe #2 pencil. It's a good wine, but it's not a wine for people that like to tread lightly. — 9 years ago

Debutante Barbera Rosé 2018

Tropical peach and maraschino cherry fruit salad of a nice! Delightfully playful and bone dry palate. Lovely. Begs for super light fare pairing. Tread lightly!! My kale salad overpowered! — 5 years ago

Superbly balanced and textured. The wine opened up quickly after uncorking. So very rich and satisfyingly full. This one is on a whole other level. I know this is my favorite Cabernet Sauvignon of all I have tried. In my mind this is the benchmark against which all others Napa cabs are measured. Tread lightly as we are rapidly approaching wine snob territory after this one. June 2019: Had to revisit again for my birthday celebration. The 2016 vintage upholds the rich and lofty tradition. I will bump up the rating by a point. I would rate this a 10 but will preserve hope that I will one day meet its match. — 5 years ago

South Africa Merlot 2014

The photo here sums up my thoughts on this PLASTIC bottle of wine. My boyfriend’s bare chest is perfectly captured within the walls of my glass while he covers the tender spots. Drop this bottle like it’s hot and it still won’t break - the pool perfect red that actually still tastes good. Not the best, but for summer festivities, winenot? — 5 years ago
