Griva Vineyard Marsanne 2017

Discovered this gem on a trip to California. Full bodied fruit and a bright, uncharacteristic acidity for its body - it comes close to what I would describe as "plush" and/or "unctuous" for an exotic white. Perfect for casual quaffing under any circumstance. — 6 years ago

Salinia Wine Company

Russian River Valley Chardonnay

Very acidic, extremely oxidized, but yet manages to be austere. Not everyone's cup of sherry, but in the right circumstance, would be perfect. — 10 years ago

Bodegas Ego

Infinito Monastrell Blend 2015

This had all the characteristics you like in a good jumilla without the pomp and circumstance of a fancy bodega. 36/25/20/19 monastrell/cab/Syrah/verdot. Rounded fruit, dash of cocoa powder, plum, and deep red cherry w a touch of white pepper and a really nice wash of tannins. Popped w some slightly spicy food. — 6 years ago

Colección Varietales Mendoza Chardonnay 2013

My experience with this wine is one that I will not forget. As a new student of wine, this will forever be my "first favorite" Chardonnay. The circumstance creates the rating on this for me. At the end of the day, the enjoyment is most important. The nose is fruity and slightly floral. Color is champagne/yellow. Green apple is prominent in taste. Body is medium +, opens up a lot on the roof of my mouth. Thoroughly enjoyed my first Chardonnay. — 10 years ago

Flaccianello della Pieve Colli Toscana Centrale Sangiovese 1999

Flaccianello. 100% Sangiovese but oddly IGT because of circumstance. A case study in the evolution of Italian designation. Some info here:
