“The best Gruner in the world”

Gruner is a crazy ass grape, and I drink the low cost liters like they’re water.

But when it’s done on a world class level it’s such an understatedly intense wine - WIDTH in your mouth, like taste it from every corner. A very different finish than you’d find in a French Chardonnay.

Cool to try. Appreciate the experience, and for $50 it’s rare to be able to taste one of the best around.

Marzemino. 2010. Trentino, Italy.

It’s great. Old and standing strong still. Pretty big, sweet fruit on the front. Blackberry or black cherry. Back gets a little tannic, with like something like dusty ash on the finish.

Easy and medium bodied. Chill it even. V cool.

that’s really good. like yum burgundy but with an itty bitty scratch of tannin instead of butter. Like it a lot ... there’s 1000’s of grapes in Italy alone we all should be drinking - GO IN. — 5 years ago

Woof. Like zero sugar fresh lemonade. Tart, minerally and mouth watering.

Crazy refreshing. Grown on an old volcano on the biggest lake in California.

Really yum passion project by a young maker from a long time wine growing/making family.

going with a STRONG 8.7. Far as NY/Finger Lakes wines go this vineyard is tops.

California, female wine maker. Always on trend and high quality. I don’t LOVE Chardonnay by default, and they make a pet Nat Riesling that’s crisper and killer ... but this is tasty stuff. Soft, fizzy, and smells like the Doles canned pears you had as a kid.

I like wine that tastes like glacial mountain stream water or fresh squeezed juice.

This is apple juice, delicious, biodynamic, wine juice. But no sweetness. It’s a bit off beat and atypical for Anjou, where they specialize in dessert wine, and am into it.
