This is our favorite Sweet Muscadine Wine we liked it better than there Winter Wonderland Sweet Muscadine. This wine has a smooth sweet taste and the other one is a more bold sweeter taste. — 6 years ago
I think a lot of Rosé is trying to be this wine. Clean, mid dry finish. Orange wine of Chardonnay. — 7 years ago
Powerful aromatics that speak to Aussie Riesling... Key lime, grapefruit, lemon zest, and petrol - think fresh tennis balls. Bounding acidity meets ripe, juicy tropical fruit, as this maintains a dry, lasting finish. Paired with spicy curry, but would also go great poolside in the summer. Fun fact: Vineyard planted in 1912. Outstanding effort. 11% ABV — 7 years ago
I'm calling this one Weekday Pinot. Going with roast bacon wrapped chicken breast , sweet tater planks and baby sweet peppers. Nice for the price! Good balance of savory to fruitiness. — 8 years ago
Great Southern Riesling aromatised with Bush herbs and spices. This wine bangs - there is a fair bit going on on the nose (it’s like sticking your nose in a dried herb heat bag) and in the palate - dried herbs, orange, apple, mandarin, myrtle, eucalyptus; a solid medium body and nice acid. Not ostentatiously orange, it’s interesting and goes down a treat — 9 years ago
Gorgeous nose. Boundless fresh roses and mid season cherry. Lithe, subtle yet vivid and so delicate. Just stunning. Carema is a wonderland. Soft, sweet and elegant with tart cherries and dusty tannins. A bit reserved now but it’s all there. Perfect balance here and astonishing length. So elegant and aristocratic. As it airs palate gets more opulent in the mid and the fruit slowly gains clarity and definition. More to come with air! Nose turns smokey and tarry now with air. Glorious spice. — 3 years ago
If you are planning on eating any part of a deer, put a bottle of this on the table. A peppery briny foresty wonderland of a pairing, — 4 years ago
Excellent burgundy. Pronounced favour with spicy more than floral. On palate in good strength. So it may not be a VR. At peak, in the wonderland, give u all u want — 5 years ago
GD Vajra Barolo Albe, my first wine-aha moment, the white rabbit which I followed down the rabbit hole into the wonderland of wine. The 2016 vintage does of course not awake the same tingling experience as back then, nevertheless it is a very solid perforermer and a well representative of its provenance, probably one of the better Barolos of Systembolagets standard assortment.
Primary red fruit with fresh raspberries, red cherries, rose hip and cherry liqueur followed by a perfumed lift of rose water and bitter orange with a vague, but nonetheless present savoury meat stock character that is luring in the background. A mouth watering acidity and a strong grip from the high but approachable and fine grained tannins directs the palate and surrounds the red, slightly tart (cranberries) but pleasant fruit character through a good finish. Give it a couple of hours in the decanter and a nice spin in your glass and its will drink beautifully today. Falls a bit short on the length to qualify for the higher division but it can walk out the ring with its head held high. — 6 years ago
I ❤️ Diamond Mountain! The tourists have no clue, and you sort of need to base camp in Calistoga and then venture out. Call in advance to schedule tastings, this isn’t tourist trap wine Disneyland. It’s a wonderland if you love Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. This wine is typical of the awesomeness of DM - sort of a Platonic Ideal of Cabernet. — 8 years ago
N: Alpine woodland wonderland, it’s like bark, leaves, sous bois, with cherries lurking in the background. Some star anise and cinnamon.
P: Light textured but definitely chewy, strong in the mouth and long. Nebbiolo indeed. Tannins to burn with faint tar and lots of umami, savoriness. Gamy,
delicious. I’ve had it open for a couple of hrs. waiting on more. Later, dried rose petals in cherry liqueur. Second day, much softer.Lots of shoe leather (worn) on the nose.
Thanks @ FassSelections

Blanc! Textural wonderland! — 5 years ago
An absolute electric mineral bomb with slight oxidation (this wine being from Jura, I assume this is intentional). A textural wonderland—there is a very pleasant sensation of wet rocks/mineral complexity to the finish of this wine. Palate was precise with bruised apple, lemon custard, straw, and a bit of eucalyptus on the finish as the wine opened up. — 6 years ago
