Disco Volante

Charles Smith

Band of Roses Washington State Rosé 2014

An over-deliverer always, that Charles Smith. I suppose when your name is that close to Charles Shaw you had probably better show up on point. Smith’s wines though—dependably tasty, more complex than your average bear which is saying something because bears are in fact fascinating mammals. Anyway. You know what else? This is a rosé of Pinot Gris aka Grigio ooooh. Tropical and a bit of funk and stone. It’s a disco-themed dance party. Which is a great party. I stand behind this statement. — 6 years ago

Robert Mondavi Winery

Reserve To Kalon Vineyard Fumé Blanc 2013

Here for this like the hook in a Carly Rae Jepsen song. Bright and fresh with disco ball acidity, you can tell she went to private school but is just longing to let loose at the club in the city. Getting a very Britney Spears “Hit Me Baby One More Time” vibe. Plan skits and pony tails for Gods — 8 years ago

El Escoces Volante

El Puño Calatayud Garnacha 2012

Beautiful. Violets, raspberries, full bodied and well handled oak. Fills the palate, weight, clean, fresh. — 8 years ago

Marchesi di Barolo

Sarmassa Barolo Nebbiolo 2000

Visual: color a teja con tonos marrones, concentración moderada, disco grande, lagrimas ligeras. Requiere decantación.

Nariz: ciruela y cereza madura, tonos de especias secos, un poco de regaliz, algo de bosque y cuero.

Boca: mas notas especiadas como pimienta tabaco. Vino seco con taninos M+ pero bien integrados, Acidez M+, alcohol M+. Vino complejo y en balance con un post gusto largo.

El vino parece estar en su punto pero tiene capacidad para aguantar unos anos mas en botella.

Volante

McCoy Vineyards Syrah 2006

Hefty! Great dark fruit and oak flavors...almost like cinnamon and nutmeg. Pairing this wine with blue cheese fritters is as an amazing a pairing as Dire Straights and Eric Clapton at Wembley '88: seamless perfection at every moment.
(Rumor has it that this wine is an exact replica of the wine Jesus created from his blood)

Jauma

Disco Special Grenache Shiraz 2017

The Jauma lineup is a rainbow spectrum of bright colored, hazy, unfiltered wines with creative labels, beer cap tops (even for still wines) and lots of internet cache’. The Shiraz based Disco Special is my favorite of the group and comes in a recycled 750ml beer bottle. It is the least juicy of the bunch and has a layered bouquet of beautiful sour red berries with high acid tones, minerals, and green herbs. Lots of zippy acidity is delivered via flavors of sour cherries and lingonberry. The texture is supple and soft and rounds out the acid. It’s true to the Natural Wine profile, where I tread with caution. But it is delicate, balanced, and free of excessive funk, juice, and crunch. — 7 years ago

Au Bon Climat

Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2013

Visual: Brillante y translucido, color granate, disco mediano, lagrimas ligeras.

Nariz: aromas a cereza, frambuesa y algo de arándano. Predomina la fruta, pero tiene algunas características de Borgoña.

Boca: fruta perceptible pero buen balance. Acido M, taninos M-, volumen M. Me parece que esta en un buen momento para tomar.

Buen valor.

Château Brown

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Visual: rojo/violeta intenso. Disco mediano lagrimas notables. Mucha viscosidad. Limpio.

Nariz: ciruela, fruta oscura, especies y madera. Toque de alcohol.

Boca: Intenso, algo tanico pero con volumen (alcohol 14%) que lo redondea un poco y lo hace mas "big"

Podria beneficiarse de tiempo en la botella, pero se puede tomar ahora (2017).
