Conreria d'Scala Dei

Escaladei Vi de la Vila Black Slate Priorat Red Blend 2018

Mouth watering tannins, ripe rich fresh dark berries and hints of stone fruit. It’s fresh and grippy. A solid value — 2 days ago

Oyster Bay

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

The lemonade of wines! I am a big sauvignon blanc fan, but my parents never really drink ones from New Zealand, and this made me wish I had known about it sooner. So refreshing and almost makes you pucker with how tart it is. This wine begs to be drank by the pool. Grapefruit forward, but had a grassy and herbal note that kept it grounded. Clean, acidic and crisp. I would serve this colder than class has taught me to because it is a summer delight. — 2 months ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 1995

[En Magnum] This is absolutely a beautiful, 30-year-old, Beaucastel Rouge in large format, mostly clean (just a trace of Brett), red fruits, still some structure, but not tannic, balanced, complex layers of flavors, long finish, really a top-notch Beaucastel with old school ABV (13.5%)!, lovely!!! — 8 months ago

Ermes Pavese

Blanc de Morgex et de la Salle Prié Blanc

Revisiting an old friend. From one of Europe’s highest vineyards. Pure, clean citrus fruit hits you right away like a freshly melted alpine stream in spring. As the bottle warms up, unexpected tropical notes emerge - coconut and pineapple (aka nuances of piña colada). — 9 months ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay

Super fresh and precise on the nose. Packed with minerals- lime, slate, salinity. Quite a glycerin mouthfeel. Super fresh and compact. All the transparency of 2011 and Raveneau. Needs time in the glass to open up. Still a puppy, but spectacular and all in place. Benefitting from air. — 5 years ago

2019 vintage. Replaces the same vintage La Vilella Alta (Garnacha, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon) offering from this producer btg and is comprised of Garnacha and Carignan. Grip. Velveteen fruit. Initial sweetness ended with pleasant tartness. Will pair nicely with nearly any land-based animal protein and grilled veggies. 09.24.25. — 9 months ago

I like the winery. But they are always a little pricier.

Matthiasson

Linda Vista Vineyard Chardonnay

The wine hits the back of the roof of the mouth with a dairy-heavy caramel flavor that is amazing and somehow manages to finish totally dry and clean. An amazing effect. — 5 years ago
