Delta Soup California White Blend 2014

Unusual for Abe not to have notes for a wine on his site, but this one has always been blank. I assumed from the name that it was a potpourri of Sacramento River Delta wines and that proved to be correct. A retail site notes that this is a cofermentation of Albariño, Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Grigio and Verdelho from the Lost Slough Vineyard, then blended with 14% Whole cluster Riesling. Complex nose with a little funk, and acid for days. Interesting wine. — 7 years ago

"Acid for days" sounds like a recall of a special week during your freshman year in college back in '75

You had to bring that up, didn't you. I still blame that week on listening to Hawkwind's Magnu too many times. (It was a party school).

"Vigna del Rolat" Collio Friulano 2011

One of my favorite Friulanos (consumed this bottle last year.) 12 euros at the winery, 40 dollars in the U.S. Seems like a big delta. — 9 years ago

Evangelho Vineyard Zinfandel 2013

Very old vine zin - planted on its own roots in 1890, dry-farmed off the Delta in alluvial soil, and (I'm guessing) probably pretty crazy looking. The wine is really good. Smells like blue fruit and baking spices. Tastes unexpectedly springy and bright, like rhubarb jam, with a balanced flinty finish. Great story and a fun wine. — 9 years ago

Delta Belgian IPA

This is an excellent new small Brewery in Brussels with some really well-made beers. Delta IPA was good, but the New England IPA was truly exceptional and could easily pass for a Hill Farmstead Beer. Truly outstanding. — 7 years ago

Super earthy, dirty like the Delta blues. High tones of leather and wet leaves. Good palette punch, brilliant pure berry-branch fruit. The zippy fine tannins give it a long delicious finish. This one can take a bow. — 9 years ago

De Loach Vineyards

Heritage Reserve California Pinot Noir 2013

The fruit for this Pinot Noir is primarily from the Delta region of California and is fermented in closed-top fermenters. A small portion is aged in seasoned barrels to impart slight oak characteristics to the wine, but most is kept in stainless steel in order to stay true to the wine's lighter, food-friendly style. This Pinot Noir, like many of the world's finest wines, requires minimal handling. — 9 years ago
