Lodge Hill Clare Valley Riesling 2023
Love love love this wine! Wonderful petrol on the nose, and such zippy racy acidity to balance the full fresh mouthfeel! Get some spicy Thai food and open this: that’s good living. — a month ago
Domäne Wachau
Terrassen Smaragd Grüner Veltliner 2020
I can never say too much about how wonderful Gruner is, and this one was fabulous. We served it with steak, alongside a chateauneuf du pape and a Barolo (!), and it held its own. This is the little wine that could. Delightful in every way. — 4 months ago
Brown Estate
#Brownzin Napa Valley Zinfandel 2021
Wonderful lush blue fruit. Moderate tannin and moderate acidity. We had a spicy zaalouk and it was a magnificent pairing. Great winemaking by a historic winemaker. — 16 days ago
Paşaeli
K2 Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
We liked this. We decanted a couple hours before serving, but its fruit and structure went well with a hearty pot roast. — 3 months ago
Baroli
Barolo Nebbiolo
We had this one 13 years after vintage, and we probably could have waited another 10-15 years. But it was singing: drinking beautifully. We decanted a couple hours before dinner, and it had such power and finesse. Life is good. — 4 months ago
Château Suduiraut
Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2015
Wonderful depth and honeyed richness, with the fresh acidity to balance. Alas, we drank it 20 years too soon! This is one to put away and savor. — 4 months ago
Villa Wolf
Ernst Loosen Pfalz Pinot Gris 2014
What a great wine! Perfect for a light meal with a roasted butternut and arugula salad and some leftover roast chicken. Delightful and light finish, with mouth-puckering acid. Yummy! — 24 days ago
Marchesi Antinori
Castello della Sala Bramìto Umbria Chardonnay 2023
Yum! This is deee-lightful. The Chardonnay fruit is bright and clean, the acidity is everything you’d want from a food-friendly Italian wine, and there’s a fun streak of minerality underneath it all. This is one to enjoy! — 3 months ago
Vignobles Brunier ( Frédéric & Daniel Brunier )
Piedlong Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2017
This was a hedonistic delight! Bursting with fruit, fresh and lovely. No need to overthink this one, just enjoy! — 4 months ago
Some Dude
Classic and wonderful! I made a pumpkin tiramisu and this was a great pairing. The rich honeyed flavors balances by great acidity: it had a long clean finish. — 7 days ago
