DipWSET, CMS 2. I like wine, pie, and laughter. Also dark things and cats.
Gorgeous Piemonte babe, Xmas spiced, clove and cookie butter and magic. — 16 days ago
Potent nose of earth, cedar and prunes, spice and salt. — a month ago
Made of Sangiovese and spent 3 hours on skins before pressing. It smells GREAT, slightly of pink teacup rose and seashell. The palate is pleasantly prickly, echoing the nose with an added bonus of seawater. — a month ago
Made half of a red grape (Dolcetto) and half white (Cortese) but looks red. It is so rich and spicy. Honestly, it sings in a Negroni or twist of such. It is rich. It’s a mincemeat pie in a flaky butter crust. On the rocks with an orange twist gives arias. I also super dug it with a bit of bubbly (I had a frizzante on hand) and a touch of ice. — 16 days ago
A rose garden of baking spice! Blood orange bathed. Literally a pomander in a rose water bath. — 23 days ago
Salted honeydew on the nose with a touch of golden toast. On the palate, salted greens and fresh white peach salad lilt. So craveable. — a month ago
All spice, brown sugar and orange zest. WOW, wow, wow, wow, I tasted this whilst in the province of Pisa. It marries caramel with pumpkin spice but like, not something that would ever be labeled as pumpkin spice. We were all mad about it. When we told the winemaker he was a genius, he lifted his palms and bowed his head in silence as if to humbly say, “I know.” — 16 days ago
Super herbal with a white pepper kick and a touch of salty slate — a month ago
Gorgeous red fruit and roses, violet, and the slightest hint of balsamic. Light on the palate with sandy medium-plus tannins, you get the florals, then acidic lemon and tomato paste (high quality) kick through, finishing with (again) a touch of balsamic. It has the heart of a dancer with the mind of a long-distance runner. — a month ago

Made of 100% Arneis! It is DRY! The big player is the spice—clove, allspice, all Christmas pomander vibes. I will put it in a traditional martini (one part vermouth, two parts gin, and some bitters ), and it kills on the rocks with a lemon twist. — 16 days ago
