Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese #56 2020
Also paired with Thai food. The best pairing was the super juicy mango salad. This is effervescent and pleasant. Not oily. — 6 months ago
La Chouette
Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
2005, have been saving since 2019 from my sheet-white night at Keiko. At Mägo for my last week in California. Amazing steak. Wine is good enough. Not overly fruit or tightness. — 6 months ago
Covalli
Barolo Nebbiolo 2022
Suspiciously cheap. Let’s see if Wilfred knows his shet. Had over Taiwanese beef sweet potato noodle soup.
Verdict: Mm good! Kinda like warmed blood though. Can’t tell if the people yelling outside my window are jovial or about to shoot each other. — 19 days ago
Fratelli Levis
Langhe Nebbiolo
Pizza alone on the floor in NYC. 19.99 for this. Bright, could be any young French burgundy actually. Hmm. It’s going to go well. Then tight. Hmm. Gripping. Sour. — a month ago
Pierre Gonon
Saint-Joseph Syrah 2012
Been hanging on to this for 12 years; yikes. From Jason at Solano Cellars. At La Posta in Santa Cruz. Not quite past it yet! But waiting for the character. Tight on nose, not too past it lacking perspective so far. — 6 months ago
Mas Belles Eaux
Cuvée Belle Époque Pinot Noir 2024
I mean, bloody rubber balloon and a weird velvet label for 16.99? Haaay. Not funky, would go well with not fried calamari, or the Chinese version. Can’t wait until my cheese reaches room temperature. Happy Wednesday in Hell’s Kitchen. — 24 days ago

Cuvée Belle Époque Pinot Noir 2024
I mean, bloody rubber balloon for 16.99 with weird velvet label, sure! Not stanky. Can’t wait until my cheese reached room temperature. Would go well with calamari or the Chinese version. — 24 days ago
Canals & Nubiola
Cava Blend
Super! Crisp and not overly sweet but sweet enough. — 7 months ago
Arecibo Message
Raisin tight enough; no character yet.
20 minutes later: Ooh light cherry cola! Had it with my weirdly chocolate tasting homemade soba. I guess seaweed, tsuru no moto, tamari, egg, sesame oil caramelize in the mouth and make this wine like a trip to 7-Eleven in 1986. Me likie. — 9 hours ago
