9.3

One of the most impressive Albariño I’ve had — traveled to the area many years ago and drink fairly regularly and this was dynamite! Shimmering greenish hued, boasting tropical, orchard AND citrus fruit without losing the salinity & minerality one expects in these wines. Balanced, elegant, bracing acidity yet got silky as it warmed — find this stuff for the upcoming warmer months… bump for QPR — 2 days ago

charming style, teeniest tiniest hint of RS, low ABV - slight petrol yielded apricot, peach, apple, confectionery sugar, bit of stony minerality - crisp acidity, refreshing beach aperitif. Bump for QPR — 9 days ago

9.1

so delicious - inky and wide open right out of the chute with all kinds of brooding dark fruit, spice, smoke & minerals - just so generous on nose & palate. Grippy, bit fleshy, mouth coating richness, balanced, harmonious - smooth lingering finish — 13 days ago

9.2

Shockingly light ruby colored, completely see through, med (-) bodied weight, was really expecting a wine lacking flavor, but this was fantastic! Nose was screaming southern France, elegant, impeccable red fruit mingled with freshly turned soil and white pepper. Stopped analyzing this wine and just enjoyed it. Nicely balanced through lingering finish. — 2 days ago

golden tropical ale, well done - don't usually like the fruity beers but this was subtle and oh so refreshing at the beach - drink local when you can! — 9 days ago

beach quaffer - bears zero resemblance to a German Hefeweizen, but it's all good at the beach — 9 days ago

solid Zin - bit too fruit focused & manipulated for my taste, plus it's expensive ($30) for what it is, prolly a crowd pleaser — 16 days ago
