No notes; southern Italian varietal w a soft, rounder approach but with enough mild white pepper & deep forest herbs to keep things interesting — 2 days ago

Savoie Pinot. Blackberries & crushed black cherries. Quite long, powerful & elegant. Needs air/age to open up. Paired with chorizo stew with tomato, onion & cilantro. — 10 days ago

In the mold of a new school barrel aged Crianza Rioja- all big bold red fruits & vanilla notes- except it’s Serbian Pinot Noir. Seven years of age seem to have not made a dent. Not to my taste but imagine will have its fans. — a month ago

Austrian Chard from slate & limestone. So so full, creamy, & crackling in energy; waxed yellow fruit, yellow popsicle, & butternut squash notes. 7 months aged on lees & it shows. Draw dropping. ‘Natural’ winemaking couple, which I feel is almost a distracting term for such a profound, delicious & even a bit classically styled wine. At about 20$ on sale give me breathing salts. — a month ago

Showed SO pretty & detailed, mouse fine; freshly baked brioche, faint lemon curd, apple notes not too tart but full. Disgorged’23. Delicious no brainer stuff. — 6 days ago

No notes. Young Saumur cab franc. Dark fruited & not funky. Shared with friends at a restaurant with a roaring hearth for all the cooking, so it had to be good. — 12 days ago

Fruili Merlot from a great vintage in Italy . Dense & medium to big bodied, crushed red fruits, juicy but restrained, & some open forest floor & pine needles. Good tension too on long ish finish. Who knew? — 25 days ago

A younger line of sherries from Barbadillo, about 10yro from solera.. a bit clunky, & surprisingly not as full as the dry oloroso in this line. Still, for 20$ I can manage. — 10 days ago

Possibly one of my desert island wines ( assuming there is food & a few other wines I can bring…). Jura chard w some Savignin, done in an oxidative, full bodied style. Have come back to this most years & never tires. The color! Amber yellow w orange & sienna tints; on nose my old painting studio with oils, hearts of palm, & orange peel. On palate full & more refined than the nose, with white asparagus, dried mango, & cooked fennel, amongst other flavors. Had post meal, was like a meal unto itself. — 23 days ago

No notes. Off dry style, all the favorite flavors show up- pear, quince etc, but this is really, really well made. And under 20$. — a month ago
