It’s not the wine’s fault, but this was not what we were looking for. This vibe is very grapefruit pith. If that’s what you’re going for, it does a brilliant job of it. But we’d asked a wine clerk about something yeasty and brioche-y. This did not hit that mark. — 4 days ago

Yum! Bought from Bruno onsite. Kyle thinks it’s best with food, I could go with or without. Tannins are Happening. Brick, red fruit, heft. A delight. — 20 days ago

Great. You get the rustic Sangiovese dust and tannins, and the lagrein jumps in to smooth things over but not detract weight, maybe even to add some richness. Lovely. Loooooong ass finish. No notes. — 5 days ago

This is American recordings Oregon Chardonnay, 2021. It’s not right in the identification. This is a strange one, with the heft of a Chardonnay, but with rosé notes? Kyle described it as chalky, but I didn’t get that. It sticks to the roof of your mouth a bit, so maybe that’s what he meant.  — 24 days ago

Hot damn. Delicious. Jeff like you would expect with a CA cab, but a counterpoint in the raspberry/strawberry blossom flavors… a totally lovely and balanced red, aged to perfection — 8 days ago

Good… upon opening, this cremant is tight and elegant. Before long, there were notes of baked apple and applesauce… good- not-great — 12 days ago
