A go- to great value white — 6 years ago
Sandy soils and salty winds, all located within a few miles of the vast Atlantic Ocean lend themselves to the creation of this little-known gem from Portugal. Made in the same way, by many of the families since the mid-1800s, this classically dry red with sharp tannins and a refreshing brightness are a perfect match to grilled meats, and tangy, herb -laden salads. It’s nose is deep and mystical. Is that tar and over-ripe purple plums? The finish stays with you, on and on. It’s a Colares, pronounced “Cool-arsh”. These are a rarity even in better wine stores. But, are worth grabbing if you see one. — 6 years ago
Outstanding with more to come. Large portion of complexity is tightly structure within the sharp backbone with a fine beaded and elegant mousse and a great fatigue. Great evolvement in the glass. Still acting youthful and unleashed, time will benefit this creation with a broader and creamier texture to come. — 8 years ago
I am a biased Cab Franc lover and this creation by our friends @Schweiger Vineyards is truly an amazing expression. — 5 years ago
Very good Pinot true to style
Good bright berry colour, nice nose and palate of berries and good balance of acidity length and aftertaste
Not as good as Reserve offering but excellent value for money

She has that swagger, but it’s the saunter that really does it for me. Saunter is the creation of Heather and Josh Clark of Clark Vineyard Management. Thomas Rivers Brown makes the wines. Their Clone 685 Cabernet Sauvignon is from the Red Head Vineyard on Old Soda Springs Road in southeast Napa Valley. Plush, perfumed and inky, with that keep-coming-back-to-the-glass savoriness. Lush and hedonistic, but with layers and length. Stellar! — 7 years ago
This Chardonnay is beautiful like a confident woman. There’s finesse, structure and even a little tension. Provocative and interesting. All the fine things in the creation of complex white Burgundy.... — 7 years ago
Great complexity - layered with some grain & lees, bright on palate, another great strange creation from the Off Centered Beer Guys — 9 years ago
Fresh, lively, crisp fruit with a fine thread of minerality and herbaceousness. Not in your face at all, but definitely not a shrinking violet. Shellfish, please. — 9 years ago

The 2016 Villa Del Lago is absolutely another stunning creation from their prestigious 20 acre vineyard atop Pritchard Hill. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in the finest hand selection of new French oak barrels. The bouquet is powerful as well as elegant. There are hints of rose petals, jasmine, bay leaf, baking chocolate and blackberries. The mouthfeel and flavors are extraordinary. This wine exudes voluptuous texture, rich, round extremely balanced acidity and tannin. Blueberry marmalade and cocoa interweave into layers of black currants and German chocolate cake. — 6 years ago
Great tasting tonight. An excellent start with a fantastic bottle of bubbles. Lots of spice from the oak barrels during fermentation. Baking spice and citrus notes come thru nicely. Big finish of tangerine and baking spices. Very elegant. — 9 years ago
Very interesting white, Posip. The closest analogue would be Torrontes.
Dry white wine that is strangely seductive, every sip entertains your palate and even your lips just like a kiss. Slightly heavier body and minimal fruit with grapefruit, pear, and green apple. Lovely Croatian creation;-) — 9 years ago

Peter Sisseck’s creation, amongst the Flor de Pingus and Pingus wines. This wine is neither of them, but still a very good Ribera del Duero. PSI is medium bodied, dark red, with flavours of blackberry, cherry, some chocolate, predominantly from Tempranillo and a bit of Garnacha. — 4 years ago
