Venge Vineyards

Silencieux Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

2011 vintage, very good. Bold, with lots of dark fruit, tobacco, cinnamon, and licorice on the nose, adding some herbal notes after the first sip with a medium, very pleasant finish. Dry, but not bone dry. — 4 years ago

Louis Roederer

Starck Brut Nature Champagne Blend 2006

Pale green-tinged lemon with crisp, mineral-laced nose with loads of lemon curd and pastry on the palate. It's showing its coming maturity with a hint of almond extract on the finish and a bit of hazelnut, the quality of well-aged chardonnay. It really shows its no-dosage character - bone dry, it begs for food. Oysters, anyone? — 6 years ago

Château d'Esclans

Whispering Angel Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 2017

Absolutely delightful Provence Rose. Blend of Grenache, Rolle, Cinsault, Syrah, and Mourvedre grapes. Strikingly pale pink in color, the aromas are fresh and fruity. On the palate, it is bone dry through the finish. The name really suits the delicate nature of this wine. — 7 years ago

Venge Vineyards

Family Reserve Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Much more accessible and fruity than the '14 hunnicutt 935. The hunnicutt will improve over time but this is drinking well right now (but still will benefit with a few years) . the bone ash is more of your opulent cab compared to this. 96-97. — 7 years ago

Why is the Venge Sangiovese almost half the price of B Cellars Sangiovese? Just received email from the B, $65.00 or $48.00 for club

@Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher venge's prices are always a little lower than the wineries he consults for. The b cellars sangio is more prototypical sangio whereas the venge is a bigger denser wine.

Brooks Winery

Willamette Valley Riesling 2013

Brooks sells a tee shirt that reads, "If you don't like Riesling, you're a fucking idiot."

I'm on board. Honey and a floral white peachy nose with petrol. Then the palate is nothing like the nose. Bone dry, bracingly acidic. Low fruit character but a pineapple thing happening late in the finish. Minerality for days. Gonna have to buy some more and lay it down.

Reichsrat Von Buhl

Bone Dry Rosé Blend 2020

Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the gothest of them all? It’s either me or this wine. In spirit and/or taste. Dark on the outside perfumed inside. Lives up to being bone dry, if bones can live. Smells like raspberries and pomegranate molasses. with a hint of mint. So light in the mouth, which given its color is a surprise. Then again get one of us mildly goths to open up and we crack a smile. The better to show our custom fangs by my darling. Oh yes so on the palate it treads lightly in weight. Underripe cherries and roses and electricity or is that just the friendly acid giving me a love-zap? — 4 years ago

Heitz Cellar

Trailside Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1993

A Conn Creek neighbor for this particular vineyard.

Nose has cherry/plum liquor, dried citrus rind, charred oak, rain-soaked soil, spring green herbs, mocha-coffee and toasted graham cracker.

Palate has cedar-infused black currant, plum skin, earthy and dirty wet leather and mild tannins.

Paired with a wonderfully grilled t-bone tonight.

This bottle easily has several years to go, enjoyed in it's youth tonight for sure. Future bottles can be 2020-2023 without concern.

For me, this wine is reminiscent of many 90's vintages of Sterling (SVR) wines that we have enjoyed over the years, minty cigar box, just wonderful.

Pale straw. Fruity nose but absolutely bone dry as advertised. Acidity is mild with some lingering astringency. The short finish showcases citrus flavors and some chalk. Nicely balanced. Very good with food. A little flat as a sipping wine, it really shines with food, enhancing the subtle flavors of the Chinese Five Spice powder in my meal tonight. — 8 years ago

Radice Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC Lambrusco

This one came home with me. As in, the whole case. I absolutely love this and think it might have to be my go-to summer beverage. Lovely bubbles, pure watermelon fruit, terrific mineral rich and bone dry. Love, love, love! — 6 years ago

Cleto Chiarli

Sorbara Lambrusco del Fondatore

Pale red and very fruity yet bone dry. Stewed strawberries and a touch of rhubarb with a fresh red currant note. Very fine mousse with tiny, Persia bubbles. So juicy and refreshing!
Paired with a lasagna - it’s a match made in heaven!
