Barnard Griffin

Rosé of Sangiovese 2021

Clear, medium salmon in color; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary aromas of raspberries, strawberries, and citrus blossoms; on the palate, it's dry with medium minus acidity, light body, medium alcohol, light tannins, and medium intensity primary flavors of orange peel, watermelon, and red currants with a long finish. This wine is complex and balanced. It's fruity and cheerful. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. — a month ago

Columbia Valley Pinot Gris 2021

Super sapid. The nose is full@of golden raisins, dried pineapple. The palate brings in pleasant porridge (breakfast of champions). — 3 years ago

Darwin Napa Valley Cabernet-Syrah Blend 2011

First sip had me worried something was wrong with the bottle. I set the glass aside and an hour later saw Griffin sipping it. I told him I thought it was bad, he told me I had a bad palate. So I tried again and it was like a completely different wine. Amazing transformation- dark fruits, even better on day 2. — 8 years ago

Troupis Winery

Fteri Pelopponisos Moschofilero 2018

Stone fruit. Light on the aromas that usually blast out from the surface of this varietal. Supple summer grass.

Woah. Refreshing. Nice hit of carbonation. More than I expected, but it’s welcome here. Supple grass comes through from the bouquet. Cold cut pears.

A mango white claw without the extraneous sweetness.

Domaine Bernard Baudry

Chinon Blanc Chenin Blanc 2018

Beautiful apple cider color.

Straight up mangoes. Pineapples. An effervescence in the nose that cannot be pinpointed. Almost like the spindrift of a cresting wave colored sweet with bee pollen and honey.

Honeyed lavender, citrus peel. This is a Chenin Blanc I’d bring to the beach in the heat, toss a football around, and introduce the bros to a wine that could rival, I hate to say it, a mango white claw. I mean it’s a great picnic wine, too. Or a cheese wine. But convincing bros to drink a Chenin Blanc is a challenge I will accept any day. Now if only I could get to a beach without having to wear a face mask.

It’s a bit on the sweeter side without the bubbles to round it out, but the tropical fruit notes are killer enough to hit the 9s.
