Black Star Farms ‘Arcturos’ Dry Riesling 2019: Light acidity. Bright fruit. Clean & refreshing taste. Apple. Pear. Apricot. Citrus. Stone. Crisp, off-dry finish. All in all, a beautiful & surprising Riesling from the great state of Michigan. So surprised I had to bring back to my hotel room! Happy Sunday! Cheers🍷 — 4 years ago
Really pleased with this wine - citrusy with some acidity, but well-balanced. Hints of minerality but not overpowering in the least. Will definitely get again. — 5 years ago
Something for the Jasper Hill Farms, “Willoughby.”
I am not much for Brut these days. Prefer Extra Brut. But I had this 375ml left before I shifted gear’s.
Having said that, this is still very sound and consistent. Think I enjoyed it more once upon a time. It seems sweeter now having a steady stream of EB.
Nice mousse. Lemon, lime pulp w/ a bit flesh, Bosc pear, red apple, yellow stone fruits, tropical fruits, quince, ginger, whipped creams, graham cracker, nougat, light & soft volcanic minerals, nice chalk powder, sea fossils, gentle saline, yellow flowers & lilies with hints of jasmine, pleasant, lively acidity, good balance, structure-tension & a smartly polished elegant finish that lasts 90 seconds and long sets on white spice-ginger.
Excellent pair w/ Key Lime Tart.

Light berry spice in front and smooth finish. Good middle day sipping wine. Seems like it would go with most meals. This is for the HartHills Cabernet Sauvignon California organic sustainable vineyards. — 5 years ago
This wine has a golden-green tint in the glass. The nose has aromas of apples, pears, and mangoes. The palate offers up the same fruit salad, with the addition of lemony citrus minerality. Acidity is fresh and vibrant, and the oak spice is noticeable but not overpowering. It’s definitely not a bad wine, but it’s not an exceedingly great one, either. You won’t be disappointed unless you set the bar incredibly high. — 2 months ago
Consistent with notes from @Jason Brater. Went beautifully with charcuterie. — 4 years ago
Just ordered in a restaurant. The “King of Chardonnay” Mike Grgich farms w/o pesticides and certified organic. Aged 10 months, no MLF. Medium lemon color with aromas of stone & citrus fruits. On the palate flavors of apple, apricot, peach & lemon citrus flavors, with honeysuckle, vanilla & toasty oak notes. Nice balance with acidity on long finish with a tangy mineral ending. Not your typical CA Chard, very nice! Worth the price! — 4 years ago
