Reserva Maule Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Decent quaffer #maulevalley #sauvignonblanc. Kind of interesting herbal grassy nose but palate falls a bit flat, lacking texture and fruit to offset the piquant acidity, touch of lemon pith bitterness on the finish. #totalwine — 2 years ago
Tenuta di Trecciano
Chianti Colli Senesi Sangiovese Blend 2020
DOCG #chianti at the sub $20 price point can be all over the map in terms of quality. I knew I hit the jackpot on first sniff and sip of this producer. Earthy cherry, dark fruit on nose, lovely balance on palate; distinctive #sangiovese earthy-soft spice on finish, quite nicely knit Chianti with excellent QPR for ~$15 at #totalwine . — 3 years ago

Château Lagüe
Red Bordeaux Blend 2018
Substantial QPR #bordeaux, a more extractive style on the nose, dark fruit wave - delicious palate with proportional tartness, grippy but fine-drawn tannins. $14 at #totalwine — 4 years ago

Gris de Gris Sable de Camargue Grenache Carignan Rosé 2020
Delicious, dry #languedoc Rosé - value champion at #totalwine. — 4 years ago
Weingut Ewald Gruber
der Hundspoint Grüner Veltliner 2013
A total wine pick up, looking for an alternative white varietal to stand up to some lightly spicy peanut noodles and struck upon this Grüner Veltliner. This white grape is typically a cooler climate Eastern European varietal. As of 2008, Austria was the primarily producer of this grape in vineyards typically mixed with Riesling. It also is used in sparkling wines as the mineralty and acidity lend themselves well to that preparation. To be perfectly honest, I bought this bottle based on label design alone - the Gruber label has adopted these "micro-organism monsters" as the mascots of the winery which has been producing wine since 1814. ~$17 | #grünerveltliner
