Second of three bottles for a surf-and-turf bbq, and this one paired beautifully with the “turf” component: tri-tip steak. Blood-red ruby coloring, deep stone fruits and berries, and earthy spices continued to open and soften, offering a more velvety mouthfeel with each sip. — 4 years ago

From what I understand after translation, this blend’s contents were produced between Riomaggiore and Volastra (of and around Cinque Terre). In my travels through Italy this past summer, I actually had the chance to visit Riomaggiore. In this seaside town of Cinque Terre, I learned that the wines produced there are very hardy. Not only are the majority of these Cinque Terre vineyards constructed into the side of the cliffs/mountains/hills (whatever you’d like to label them, they’re featured on the bottle), they are also mere meters from the sea in some cases. I remember one of the local ladies of one of the five seaside towns telling me of one vineyard (can’t remember which one, probablyyy had too much wine that day) that was only 60 meters away from the surf. With this info in mind, you know that salt water will be absorbed through the grape vines, influencing the grapes’ taste. This results in a very light, delicate brine. It almost reminds me of a sea urchin, and on a lighter note, Haruno’s seaweed salad. 😂 I really dig this wine. A very translucent gold, almost a straw. Definitely let this one warm up a tad, from drinking it completely chilled to room temp, it’s an amazing change. Definitely prefer it after some warmth has reached it. And can we talk about how amazing it is that this wine had the chance to come to the US from like 5,000 miles away where the populations probably don’t exceed a couple of thousand people—and a select few of those choosing to devote their entire lives to cultivating these grape vines? Cheers to finally getting off work 🍻#cinqueterre #manarola #riomaggiore #wine #winetasting #photooftheday #instagood #italy #blend #white #travel #love #bisson #rosenthalwines — 8 years ago

A little Rhône fun during Christmas Eve dinner with a North/South option for our surf and turf affair of sous vide New York Strips and Ribeyes with King Crab legs. Popped and poured, this was a magnificent and lush example with perfectly ripe brambles, garrigue and spiced fruitcake. Mouth coating without feeling heavy or overbearing in anyway. Tannins are resolved and I can say with a high degree of confidence that these are in a great place for drinking now. In case anyone was wondering, the Northern Rhône we drank alongside was a European bottled B. Levet Côte Rôtie “Les Journaries” (known there as “La Maestria”). — 8 years ago
