Wine coming out of the city of Vienna proper always blows my mind. Smoky, great texture, 9 variety blend. Crazy stuff. — 11 years ago

Big bacon nose with floral honey front mouth affect quickly going mineral for a clean but lingering finish of flowers & white grapes. Enjoying this fine yet affordable wine with manchego and niçoise-coquillo olives, at PromiseLand Market, in Morehead City, NC... — 12 years ago

Reminds me of a Mountain Bike ride during the fall in Park City. Decaying Forrest floor, dried leaves, lavender, violets. Red and blue fruits, allspice, beautiful (yet) heavy integration of oak, persistent finish. Best wine I've tasted this year (Feb 21, '14) — 12 years ago

9.1

Reddish purple in the glass with aromas of cinnamon, cola nut and strawberries. Fresh and juicy with great acidity; the front palate hits with black cherry, tart cranberry and more baking spices. The mid palate carries some woody, earthy notes that finish with black tea, porcini mushrooms and fine grained, silky tannins. — 12 years ago

Great night in a new city with great company. Lots of pepper. Went well with my first experience with bone marrow. — 12 years ago

A dense glass-staining purple, the '06 Charles Smith Syrah 'Royal City' is a monumental wine. Big, pungent aromas of game, truffles, black olives and dried fruits exploded from the glass. Complex, but still seamlessly balanced. The tastes stayed on the palate for a seemingly infinite length of time. Simply wonderful! — 12 years ago

Red cherry, sandalwood, still a bit of tannin in the finish. Fabulous with red sauce pizza and @mrharada. At Vesta in Redwood City — 12 years ago

Need a Leo at your party? Looking for that gal who can charm the pants off a discerning group of hopeless wanderers? This is your gal. She's a people pleaser with a penchant for citrus and lemongrass. This is the city gal of summer wines. Crisp, refreshing and a pallet pleaser. Allegedly loves seafood (this according to match.com). — 12 years ago

Lovely trip to AmByth this weekend. All of their 2012 wines are already so expressive (and still fermenting in amphorae). Can't wait to try these wines when they are ready! I'll be pouring their 2010 Syrah and 2011 Red Table Blend this Friday at K&L in Redwood City. — 13 years ago
