What a pleasure! Made by Ridge (and a young Stephan Bedford) with Tepusquet fruit. Good ruby brick color and still has a burst of acid and light tannins. Great fruit leather, cigar box, very deep finish. Lots of life left in this one. And who says California wines don’t age? — 7 years ago

No funk. Pair with game. I'm recommending duck. — 8 years ago
1990. Honeyed almonds, Fuji Apple, quince. Still quite balanced and bright. Truly amazing example of how California fruit can be made in old-world, age-worthy style. (Vinted by S. Bedford) — 9 years ago
Buttery, vegetal, with some green apple and even a little tobacco business up in there. — 6 years ago
The best burger-time sip at Fancy Nancy on Bedford ! Kris recommended it as a fruity balance to the cheesy sauce — 7 years ago
Not as aromatic compared to younger Viognier but still fresh and lovely. Not too shabby for a 20 year old wine. — 8 years ago
Aged well. Tasting great. Great QPR — 8 years ago
This Chardonnay is perfection. Nose of honey and stone fruit. The same flavor notes coat the entire mouth and finishes oh so smoothly. Paired fabulously with my Bedford Cheese Shop selections: Nababbo Taleggio, Prosciutto di Parma and Molinari Sopressata accompanied by a perfectly ripe plum. — 9 years ago
Bright fruit and oak and vanilla on the nose. Also camphor, bell pepper and spice. Flavor is full of raspberries and spice. Very quaffable. — 10 years ago

Like fancy dry apple juice. Drank this on a bench on Bedford St. Would do so again. — 8 years ago
Wow! Lemon oil and a whiff of white peach or nectarine still comes through, along with that characteristic aroma if petrol. Great acid. Just a little bit of almond on the end, suggesting "some age". The color is still bright and youthful. Made by Stephan Bedford. — 8 years ago
Best of the old school whites from Bedford. An atypical Pinot Gris. Delicious. — 8 years ago
Maybe Jelena left as thank you? From Bedford Nostrand wine store near the G? Really liked how light but flavorful it was for a white. — 9 years ago
Great wine, but with monte enebro from Bedford cheese, insanely good. — 9 years ago

Fresh cut cold apples, elderflower, the aroma of sweetness you might get from a lush glen on a hike, lavender.
Dry Reisling has become one of my favorite varietals because of this bottle that I first had a Michelin Guide restaurant in TriBeCa, called Little Park.
All the wine stores that listed carrying this wine, no longer had it. I finally tracked down the last 7 bottles in a small shop off Bedford Ave in Brooklyn. Of course, you can order the vintage online, but the adventure in the find was worth it.
Like silk, it wraps your whole mouth in a pashmina of well balanced flavor. Dry, sweet, savory, umami.
One of my favorites this summer. Hard to forget. — 6 years ago
