Delicious wine from my brother. Thanks. Deep purple, lot going on here. It was a dinner party so I only got a glass and a half. :(. Excellent with beef stew and potatoes. — 4 days ago

Not a big bubbly fan, but this was a nice start to the evening. Nose had some Irish whiskey notes, strange as that seems. Fruity, dry, crisp. — 16 days ago

And now for something completely different; haven’t had a picpoul in quite a while. Lemon, pear, minerals, little green apple. Nice, inexpensive wine. — 10 days ago

Verdicchio is always great with fish. Had cod with a lemon/ wine/ butter sauce and this was good. Not the most memorable or expressive verdicchio I’ve had, but nice. Minerally, good acidity and subdued fruit. I find the ones from Metalica have less of that signature almond taste than those of Jesi. — 5 days ago

Yeah those Metallica Verdicchios don’t rock like they used to.

Dark, brooding , muscular blend of cab, Syrah, and some Zin. Really good. Had it with braised short ribs and it was equal to the task. — 9 days ago
