Venue
Domaine Vincent Tremblay
Chablis Chardonnay 2023
Other places with similar or same level views...Siblings(they also just opened Hanks, very nice) in Kirra or, if you go to Ballina, Capiche, where you might even whalewatch during winter.
Rick Shores is an amazing place though, 100%😊
Rioja Vega S. A.
Crianza Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2018
€15.90 on the restaurant wine list. The wine list said it is a blend but the bottle only mentions Tempranillo. Pleasant enough to order again. Restaurant will be changing name/venue soon. Enjoyed our meals here overlooking the boardwalk & beach. — 2 years ago
Domaine Prieuré Roch
Le Clos Goillotte Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2009
Experienced this producer last year and wasn’t a fan but everyone deserves a second chance….Mr Prieure is redeeming himself…..Sommelier was a big fan too, recommending this over some other big names…..tasting notes: very light and delicate, scents of pickled cucumber (yes, really) and rhubarb. Not our usual deep berry concentration, this one is much more sophisticated, and deserving of the occasion and venue! — 7 months ago
La Ferme du Vallon Des Bouis
Les Bouis La Belle Vendange Rosé 2020
How would we ratę this?
Prętty good - we polished off two bottles in no time!
Up there with Garrus, Domanie Ott and Minuty Prestige….
Plus, perfect venue for lunch - magnifique! — a year ago
Graziano Prà
Morandina Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2020
Winetrip Veneto.
Visit of Graziano Pra where the focus is on Soave but they also have very good Valpolicella. Nice Amarone from a colder part of Valpolicella so higher in acidity . Beautiful venue incl lunch on their Monte Bisson location. Rating is for the complete tasting. — 3 years ago
Scharffenberger
Brut Mendocino County Rosé Blend
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour while we crushed some sushi at One Flew South, waiting for our connecting flight. It’s been a minute since I’ve had Scharffenberger, let alone the Rosé. Still solid. The wine poured a beautiful pink, salmon color with a moderately persistent mousse of relatively small bubbles. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of raspberries, faint strawberry, faint peach and lemon citrus with a whiff of brioche. On the palate, dry with refreshing acidity; plenty to work with our sushi. The finish was medium. More than decent value considering the venue. Drink now. As an extra observation, the new label was a pleasant surprise as I felt the previous label was long overdue for a refresh. I don’t always feel that way as I love the labels of some OG producers but this was needed IMO. Bravo. — a year ago
Château Barrail Saint Andre
Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2016
Lovely soft tannins. Easy to drink. This blend must be 95% merlot. The 2016 vintage in 2023 is undervalued if you can find it. Enjoyed it for $60 at a high end spot. Worth multiples of that at a restaurant venue. . — 2 years ago
Ceccherini Cristiano
