Mind bending freshness at 15%abv! Venus strikes back! I’m a sea of dead wines this crackles — 7 years ago
I throughly enjoyed this cider fermented with their own pomace plus la garagista's wine, my personal favorite winery in Vermont at the moment . I think it's a great cider that is not too sweet & has enough acid and tannins to pair it with a nice pork dish meal. — 7 years ago
One of the better chards I've had from John Hilliard's winery along Route 246 near Lompoc, this has improved considerably with a few years in bottle. Still a bit more oak than is my preference, the wine nevertheless exhibits great balance with classic chardonnary aromatics, a medium-plus bodied mouthfeel, and a lingering finish. I still think his Venus bottlings are better expressions of chardonnay, but this one at ~5 years is drinking well! — 10 years ago

Sweet simple margaritas. This is our go to. Did I mention sweet? Head and shoulders above the standard fare. Not complicated enough to sip imho. — 10 years ago
See previous notes. They still apply. All the hallmarks of modern Australian Chardonnay. Nutty leesy aromas with rock melon notes - from the cool climate district near the city of Orange. A light to medium weight palate. Proving that the Orange/Tumbaramba district is a great area for cool climate Chardonnay with Penfolds sourcing fruit from here for their top Chardonnays like Yattarna. Also Phillip Shaw (former winemaker for Rosemount when they were famous) has set up a winery here under his own name. — 5 years ago
Grapefruit, subtle oak, — 7 years ago
Excellent grapefruit and citrus, very classic Marlborough Sauv Blanc. Really hard not to enjoy this. Acidity and alcohol balance are seamless. — 8 years ago
Banging. All natural, very bright, rich and round. Very happy wine. — 9 years ago
Montsant at its best. Perez & Barbieri second generation creating a stunning wine made from a blend of Syrah. This is what outstanding Catalonian wine can be. A must have!!!! — 10 years ago

Lot May 2011, disg. Feb 2014. Muted upon opening, but give this a little bit of air....then, oh my god. This is so much better than my last btl, it's hard to believe. On the nose: soft honey, dense lemon oil, soft vanilla, a touch of oxidative golden apple. On the palate: fantastic acidity, soft and fine mousse, gorgeous density and richness, pomelo, and a lovely soft, velvety finish. — 5 years ago
Served at red wine temperature. Baked apple was the dominant aroma upon opening but transforms into a sour ale nose with air. A creamy palate of white peach , apricot and a strong saline note. A wonderful accompaniment to all my dinner courses; Parisian ham , beef tartare, and fennel sausage. A unique wine that could divide the table. — 7 years ago

Opulent yet fresh. Think Serena, not Venus. — 8 years ago
Great wine for 10€. Despite its 14° degree which should normally extremely strong, it is a surprisingly sublet wine. Goes very well with a coté de bouef or any red meat with sauce. From the south region of Montpellier, I discovered this wine through my brother who lives there. Loved it. Will buy more — 9 years ago
A journey to the centre of the earth and back, then on to the moon, knocking on the doors of Venus and all the other planets.
Very close to perfection.
Nothing to do with the Tuscan Vin Santo, more like a German TBA. Game of sweetness, freshness, density, viscosity, eternity and who knows what more. A must in your cellar to keep for special occasions.✌️❤️ — 10 years ago
2011 oak ferment and lees battonage. Tropical fruit aromas, pineapple. Very much like a champagne on the nose. #mediterranean climate. Warm alcohol. Pleasant. — 10 years ago
