Magnolia Muscadine

Adored this semi-sweet, light-bodied, fruity blend of wine that beautifully touches the palate and begs for another sip! Great white wine! — 5 years ago

Palacios Remondo

La Montesa Alfaro Rioja Baja Tempranillo Blend 2016

I adored this wine - $18 on Wine.com right now! It’s insane! Special thanks to Sam for recommending it. Juicy red fruit, black pepper, underbrush, bonfire... I guess it’s a little on the lighter side (which might disappoint fans of big Tempranillo tannins) but that only means it’s a perfect wine for grilled burgers in the summer. — 5 years ago

Tenuta Monteti

Caburnio Toscana Alicante Bouschet Blend 2014

Absolutely adored this wine! From first sip to last. A mere 20 minutes after opening, simple bottle aerator, perfection throughout! Smooth, tasty, powerful, truly delectable. 22.75$ at SAQ would absolutely get again. A new contender for the old 2011 Camùl. — 6 years ago

Amandoleyre Fendant Grand Cru 2018

This got better with every sip! A bit of effervescence and such an exciting find outside of Switzerland. I enjoyed these so much when I visited last and it was fun to re-live some travels during this quarantine. Sweeter than I was expecting but with some honeydew and saline. My partner adored it, but I am excited for our next Swiss bottle! — 5 years ago

Pikes Wines

Hills & Valleys Clare Valley Riesling 2018

Had this at a trade tasting last week and been meaning to post it! It has just a smidge of sweet to it but also sings of freshness and delight. Different than most Australian Rieslings I’ve had—in that it tasted indelibly like Riesling. Which is not shade against their Rieslings so much as it is shade on me for always failing to identify them in tests. Anyway, adored this wine. Would guzzle again. — 6 years ago

@Bob McDonald I think I did!! And it was terrific. But for purposes of what I’m writing focused on this one. But everything I tried at the tasting of theirs was great!

Le Grand Clos Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2010

Vintage 2010 - there are multiple reasons why I love #bourgueil let me explain. When I just discovered wine as a real passion - at the age of 18 - I adored the raspberry smell no other wine offered so generous. I like the name: Bourgueil is by far the most beautiful AOC name. My wife and I fell in love with the great dishes of Madame Debacker and the #Loire region on our honeymoon. This #cabernetfranc is deep black in the glass. It has character. Even at this age the wine shows a bit harshness, and an austerity that is found in Bordeaux often. But the raspberry and cherry smell reminds me of Cru de Beaujolais. It has also flint and mineral expression in smell, hints of leather, tobacco, clove. On the tongue it has a velvety structure. Bourgueil can be complex and frivolous at the same time. / Partnered it with Bavette from bbq and cauliflower mousse. — 7 years ago

Nice Peter. I also love the Loire Cabernet Fanc and Bougueil has some very nice expressions.

Nice notes and memories, I may just have to pull a cork out of a Bourgueil this evening.

Portada Winemaker's Selection Lisboa Red Blend 2011

Very very smooth. Cherry and oak. Creamy with minimal tannins. Slight tobacco and vegetal notes. Slightly mineral? Delicious to sip but would also be great with food. Tim adored this wine. I loved it as well. Beautiful burgundy color with watery brown rim — 9 years ago

Les Lys Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2005

Have always adored these wines. Traditional, full of soul and character. Would never call this 15 years old, fresh as a daisy. Ripe citrus, grilled pineapple, golden apple, iodine, anchovy, damp earth, mushroom, spring honey, tarte tartin, herbs. The warmth of the year is present in its upfront fruit, but it all departs salty mineral with persistent cut. — 5 years ago

La Mamette Chardonnay 2017

Just adored this. Gorgeous nose of citrus and Brie rind. Quite the elegant palate of salty, fresh melon and a long mineral finish. Some people wanted more funk, I’m all for the squeaky, delicious, cleanliness of this. — 6 years ago

Jordan Vineyard & Winery

Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2016

Going into pregnancy my wife adored this Chardonnay. The great test, then, was to figure out if she loved it the same postpartum, or if her adoration of it had waned amidst her abstinence of alcohol consumption. Well, the test results are in: her love has not diminished! Be it known this is still her favorite Chard.
.
Buttery oak, green caramel apple, and Meyer lemon on the nose. On the palate ginger, lemon zest, and a buttery, waxy mouthfeel.

Sassicaia 09 from Carlo Terruzzi

📝 We had to fight my wife to get any of this as she adored it 😎

Lovely rich deep cocoa driven dark fruits that showed awesome potential - drinking 4.5⭐️ but will be a stunning 5⭐️ in 5-7 years & my wife says 5⭐️ as her WOTN & it will be 5⭐️ in time 👍

Check others notes but I'm buying some (I've been ordered to 😂) & I even kissed (or licked) Carlo for this - thanks Carlo for sharing this & costing me a fortune 👅
