Pálava 2015

I held onto this for what I thought was too long, but it’s still fresh and lively. Tropical fruit with a touch of peach. Magnificent. — 3 months ago

Okr Chardonnay Blend

🏅 Rating 90/100 (4,0⭐)

Highly drinkable beautifully balanced orange wine. Exactly the way we like it. All-star blend of Chardonnay, Gruner Veltliner, Sauvignon and a little bit of Traminer. Well structured with gastronomic appeal. Comes in cute minimagnums (1L)

Can't think of a better amber wine for the induction into the category.

Sharp, mineral, but sipable. Lots of character — 3 years ago

TRBLMKR Neuburger 2018

Wax and gunpowder dominate the nose. Refreshingly high acidity, light bodied, with mostly lemon and a relatively long, salty finish. Interesting texture that kind of tickles the tounge, not an overly long maceration, perhaps. — 4 years ago

Nach Red Blend 2020

🏅 Rating 88+/100 (3,85⭐)

Effortless drinking unpretentious red for anyone. Sold in minimagnums (1L) at a bargain price (€16). Purple colour, medium-light body. Cool blend of Pinot Noir, Blaufrankisch, and aromatic St.Laurent. Might become your favourite table wine.

Vigna Cinque Querce Taurasi Aglianico 2012

2012. Very good Aglianico. Big and concentrated and surprisingly still drinking young (took 2-3 hours to open up). Dark cherry, leather, minerals/iron underneath still-firm tannins. Plenty of time left. $40 at Vine Republic. — 6 years ago

Il Borro

Toscana Red Blend 2015

2015. Red to blue fruits, leather, subtle acid and not-so-subtle oak come together after 3-4 hours of decanting. Young and more oak than I’d like but concentration of high-quality fruit and evident complexity should make this a knockout in 2-4 years. Ferragamo’s merlot/cab/syrah super-Tuscan project. $40 at Vine Republic. — 6 years ago

Pretty amazing wine. It was great when I opened it with a lot of complex salty and mineral notes, but three days later it was even better! — 7 years ago

Běl Grüner Veltliner Blend

Really tasty, some skin contact going on for sure with a little bit of funk. Herbal (fennel) and spice notes, wet stone, tropical fruit. Bright acidity that lingers. — 3 years ago

Moraga Vineyards

Estate Red Blend 2010

Matt Austin
9.3

From a 16 acre vineyard in the hills of Bel Air. Probably the most expensive vineyard property in the US. It’s currently owned by Rupert Murdoch, but this is from before his purchase in 2013. This is legit good. Much better than any Malibu wines I’ve had. 13.8 listed alcohol and fairly restrained style. Let’s rip down all of those mansions and plant some grapes! — 4 years ago

Forks And Knives White Blend 2019

🏅 Rating 90/100 (4,0⭐)

From magnum.

Slightly macerated blend of Gruner Veltliner, Neuburger, Sauvignon, Pálava and Riesling. This makes it an easy drinking light orange wine with muscat like aromas of rose water. Chill it properly and enjoy with food as it is exactly what Forks & Knives has been made for.

Drink and don't think.

Muzika Běl Grüner Veltliner Blend 2016

Well, this is the first bottle I’ve opened since the beginning of COVID-19 social distancing and I’m really happy it didn’t disappoint. Really nice light body and acid, honeysuckle, stone fruit and...hay? I’m into it. — 6 years ago
