Big Nose Full Body Wine Sales in Brooklyn.
This is the “Betont” bottling at 11% abv.
Well made orange. 100% Neuburger with 4.5 days on skins. Great balance. — 13 days ago
Like the Roger Miller song “I’ve Been A Long Time Leaving, Now I’ll Be A Long Time Gone”.
Cork held up and came out smooth. Garnet/ruby color. Nose is old and green. Sous bois, tomato vine, and marrow. Fine silky texture. Would’ve guessed Loire Cabernet Franc in a blind. Past peak, but still fascinating to pick apart the development. — 22 days ago
Apple blossom, red apple skin, underripe blackberry, stone fruit, orange pith, flint, and chalk. Loads of acid and all around structure. Undergoes malolactic and ages in neutral oak.
Has all the right stuff for further cellaring.
Hard to find. Far more complex than many of the tasting notes give it credit for. — 6 days ago
Walker Bay Pinot Noir. Awesome wine (and packaging) for the money. Black tea and spice box. Sonoma creaminess. Would like to try this next to Au Bon Climat Santa Barbara Pinot for the same money. — 17 days ago
Nothing profound or particularly thoughtful here. Just an easy, simple, clean wine that asks very little of you in a great way. — a month ago
Found for cheap in Memphis. Faulted by volatile acidity. Sharpie and acetone. Shame.
I had high hopes. — 9 days ago
From a tiny old world list. Nice balance and in a good spot. Paired with elk. 14.5% abv. — 9 days ago
Creamy. Apples, pears, pineapple, and white melon. Consistent regional producer. Nice packaging and solid value, though I’m Alto Adige biased. — 22 days ago

This is the 2013 vintage Extra Brut. Delicious and easy, but not particularly complex for the money. Not the best QPR or vintage. — 2 days ago
