CHASING WINDMILLS GRENACHE Fulldraw Vineyard 2017

Fragrance is amazing. So floral. Just magnificent. Taste is on the lighter side but well integrated. Easy to drink. Cherries and some green, fruit but well balanced. It’s really good. I would not recommend this with a steak — 5 years ago

Excellent showing for this natural wine that’s still youthful and in great shape. Crushed berries and licorice. Brett and VA are in check, at least in this bottle. A dragon worth chasing — 7 years ago

Chinon Cabernet Franc 2017

Tasted tonight with miso-tamari marinated steak dinner and side of sautéed onions and mushrooms, overlooking NYC sky line.
yummy, smooth ‘n easy. Take a sip, breathe in, and realize there’s peppercorn character chasing the fruit. Enough acidity to keep everything in balance.

Rosé of Venus

Hazy pink, funk on the nose, with stone fruit and citrusy zest. Higher on acidity, dry, a delicious natural rosé! — 7 years ago

Russiz Superiore Collio Cabernet Franc 2013

Things which are painfully underrated. One of New Zealand’s best bands, The Brunettes with their best record, Mars Loves Venus and a 2013 Collio Cab Franc. So many rocks to turn over in this world for great stuff. — 8 years ago

Vénus A Avire Grand Cru Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs 2016

Always with such incredible expression of terroir, Agrapart’s 2016 Venus is fabulous today riveting with energy; just electric on the palate. There’s such an incredible combination of richness and purity with impeccable concentration and fruit density. Layers of perfumed citrus oils, ripe orchard fruit, almond skin and crushed stones waft from the glass. The palate is long, vibrant and intense with a mineral and saline inflicted finale. A killer BdB. — 3 years ago

Venus Block Orange Chardonnay 2014

See previous notes. They still apply. All the hallmarks of modern Australian Chardonnay. Nutty leesy aromas with rock melon notes - from the cool climate district near the city of Orange. A light to medium weight palate. Proving that the Orange/Tumbaramba district is a great area for cool climate Chardonnay with Penfolds sourcing fruit from here for their top Chardonnays like Yattarna. Also Phillip Shaw (former winemaker for Rosemount when they were famous) has set up a winery here under his own name. — 5 years ago

I en aquest cos, l'olor terra Venus de Cartoixà 2015

Served at red wine temperature. Baked apple was the dominant aroma upon opening but transforms into a sour ale nose with air. A creamy palate of white peach , apricot and a strong saline note. A wonderful accompaniment to all my dinner courses; Parisian ham , beef tartare, and fennel sausage. A unique wine that could divide the table. — 7 years ago

Vinous Venus Rosé Blend

I throughly enjoyed this cider fermented with their own pomace plus la garagista's wine, my personal favorite winery in Vermont at the moment . I think it's a great cider that is not too sweet & has enough acid and tannins to pair it with a nice pork dish meal. — 7 years ago

Franco Toros

Collio Pinot Bianco 2019

This wine has a nice golden color in the glass. I get a muted nose with apricot aromas foremost and citrus minerals chasing. The palate shows stone fruit and minerals galore. Acidity is nice and fresh, even zippy. The finish is medium long and carries the minerals back for a revisit. — 5 years ago

Venus Millésime Grand Cru Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne 2010

Lot May 2011, disg. Feb 2014. Muted upon opening, but give this a little bit of air....then, oh my god. This is so much better than my last btl, it's hard to believe. On the nose: soft honey, dense lemon oil, soft vanilla, a touch of oxidative golden apple. On the palate: fantastic acidity, soft and fine mousse, gorgeous density and richness, pomelo, and a lovely soft, velvety finish. — 5 years ago
