Post holiday, plain vanilla Spatlese by Selbach. Damn. Just very pure, if Spatlese can be honest, this is. Dense & packed with flavor. — 3 days ago

Stands up tall & elegant even. White cherries, fennel, white asparagus & blanched almond notes. Plenty of texture & coats palate. — 20 days ago

Enough age to bring the fruit intensity down a notch, & man that’s some good fruit- emphasis on the cassis & blackberries. Usually not a mega fan of Bordeaux, but this fit the bill for a shared bottle with friends, drink outside on the banks of the Hudson. — 25 days ago

CDR from Vaqueyras, very clean & open knit. Liquid cassis, that CDR brambly thing, muted garrique. Good concentration. A better fit for my palate as more restrained style. — 4 days ago

A bit like Arneis but I prefer this Erbaluce, which I was able to nab for a very un-Arneis like 13$: fresh apple, white & yellow flowers on nose, a nice mineral spine, and fresh palate of stony fruits. Medium to light bodied, as if unoaked chard showed up in Piedmonte. — 23 days ago

Adjacent profile wise to Northern Rhone: gamey, mineral & earthiness to it’s core; it’s the decaying rose petals, & hibiscus edges (& lighter shades) that point to its true, Nebbiolo soul. I’ve heard some wine folks mourn the loss of the original Valana, & that the younger family upstarts can’t come close to the originals. I don’t know, but for about 25$ this is is dang-it good Alpine red. — a month ago

One note Reinhessen kab but what a note. Peach skin, white peach, orange rind. Off dry. Serious acid core. Substantial body, yet lean.. Crazy alive thunderbolts (there can be no mention of electric). — 16 days ago

Too ripe & sweet for my palate, though I love this maker. Will try again — a month ago

The more I drink Vino Verde the more it reminds me of the Muscadet evolution: oily & semi thick texture , white flowers & Stoney minerals.for 10$. Insane. Savio Soares importer. — a month ago
