Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2012
Engine House 25 Wines
Zinfandel 2009
Literally one of the best Zinfandels (and wine overall) I've ever had. Whatever Duane Rieder is doing bringing grapes back to Pittsburgh from California, it's working. Dark, smokey and jammy. Reasonable at $62 restaurant pricing. Found it at Original Fish Market. — 12 years ago
Giovanni Chiappini
Guado de' Gemoli Bolgheri Superiore Super Tuscan Blend 2009
I don't even have a frame of reference for how incredible this wine is !!! The closest was an Ornellaia I had but that was twenty years ago. Powerful, taut, but balanced. Bought two bottles so I can try one in 10 years or so. — 10 years ago

Burgenland Blaufränkisch 2011
*ultimate pizza wine alert*
It's like a four-chair turn on The Voice, if the judges were all pies seeking their perfect match...stay with me...this one manages to have it all, from blk olive, bell pepper, pepperoni, even tart-sweet tomato and portobello. It's also juicy and begs another sip...yep, looks like it's got it all, so long as you've got the will to fork over a twenty to pair with your pie :/ — 11 years ago

This Pinot from Anderson Valley has been in top form lately and it is truly one of my favorites. I think earth-soaked cherry is the best way to describe it. It's a cab-lover's Pinot with complexity, intense flavor, and a full mouthfeel that isn't always easy to find in California Pinots. I would definitely pop the cork on one of these and see how it has matured since its release. The earthy undertones make me happy. — 10 years ago
