San Diego based, with stints in the Rheingau Valley and Burgundy. Wine is good for the soul.
Revisiting the Daou flagship. ‘20 vintage. Very mellow tannins. Smooth and silky with concentrated fruit. Dense, and long finish. Delicious. B55 treat. — 18 days ago
New vintage of this classic go-to everyday Chianti. Light and bright, 13% alc, elegant fruit. Just a great value. I have had every vintage since 2015 and always liked it. — a month ago
Grenache blend from the Languedoc. Little rough around the edges. But good food wine. — 6 days ago
Crisp and bone dry German Riesling perfect for hot days. This trocken from the Pfalz is a great example of those German wines. Delicious, but not for everyone. — 15 days ago
Wow. Never had a wine hit me with such intense strawberry flavors. Good blend, a little more rounded than previous vintages. — a month ago
Nice blend from Bolgheri. Grippy tannins and constrained fruit. Great with food. Cabernet in the foreground. Opened up quickly. — a month ago
New vintage of this nice blend. 60% Cabernet franc, 40% Merlot. Full mouth feel, complex layers of fruit, some spice notes, mellow tannins. Not exactly a value wine. — 6 days ago
Nice Nebbiolo - bright and elegant. Long finish. Is the pasta ready yet? — 17 days ago
New vintage of bin 28. Used to be the Kalimna vineyard. Dark, dense, and powerful fruit. Cassis and some spice notes. Just a delicious wine, almost chewy. Screams for a steak dinner pairing. Good value, too. — a month ago

Really interesting how this Barbera from the foothills holds up nicely after 8 years. I don’t know if the 16 vintage was so good, or the wine just aged exceptionally well, but this is much better than previous vintages. Very mellow tannins, smooth velvety. A pleasant surprise. — 4 days ago
