CA Petite Sirah Blend

Another great Dave Phinney wine, this more price approachable blend is really good. Fruit forward, berries, vanilla and some aniseed flavours. This 'lesser' wine knocks many more expensive competitors off their podiums. Glad to have found it. — 8 years ago

Machete Petite Sirah Blend

Fruit Bomb - Teeth Stainer.....Phinney is masterful. Decanted for 40 minutes and at first sip it was exactly what you'd expect from Orin Swift. Surprised there was no oak or pepper. — 9 years ago

Slander California Pinot Noir 2014

Another hit by Phinney with a glorious mouth feel for this Pinot noir and tannins that can only be described as chewy. — 9 years ago

The Dreaming Tree

Central Coast Chardonnay 2011

Refreshing clean finish from the Central Coast. Faint pear and burnt caramel with a slight citrus overtone. Delightful with grilled fish or chicken. Dave Mathews is affiliated with the winery. Reasonably priced -
go buy a bottle and give it a try - you'll end up buying more...

Corse Vermentino

From Corsica, an island south of France and west of Italy. The grape is vermentino. Mineral nose, slight hint of flowers, can't tell the fruit... maybe pear, yellow apple. Excellent wine for under $20 price. I am in love with Corsica! — 8 years ago

Mollydooker Wines

Carnival of Love McLaren Vale Shiraz 2006

Was apprehensive at first as last time I had this (a year ago with Big Wave Dave) it was the cliche Oz Shiraz fruit bomb with high alcohol bordering on over extraction. On the second outing a lot more complex. Still classic cassis fruit and choc/tobacco overtones but not over the top and with some nice acidity still. Less spice than typical. Nice underlying tannin backbone. Lovely mouthfeel and medium body and finish. A little time has done its work nicely. — 9 years ago

Red Stitch

Soberanes Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir. Deep ruby color with bright red fruit and beautiful acid indicative of a cool climate Pinot. Great structure with notes of winter spices, coffee and chocolate. Produced by two of nicest guys I have have ever met, Rich Aurillas and Dave Roberts - both former baseball players and all around good guys. Only 150 cases produced. — 10 years ago
