Nov 21st, 2018This is really fun and really good. Great texture and mouthfeel. Lots of skin contact but not annoyingly so.

Feb 21st, 2018Is this the best Cortese in the world? Who knows, but it certainly speaks with its own idiosyncratic voice. Rich, honeyed, pear - broad on the palate but with acidity to spare. And somehow, this isn't Chenin. But it is from Mendocino. And it is deeeeeeeee-licious.

Dec 2nd, 2015What a surprise--keeps evolving. Serious honey, but with acid. I want a case.

Nov 25th, 2015Surprising weight and texture, partial skin fermentation, partial direct press. Geeky wine more than a crowd pleaser, and really needs food. I dig it. #kogodwinemerchant
