Crivelli

Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato 2013

Fascinating. Aromatic, acid entrée goes right into bright tobacco-accented cherry. Slightly astringent finish, which somehow remains attractive. Like a perfume that changes gears into something unexpected. — 10 years ago

Old Westminster Winery

Greenstone Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2014

The 2014 Greenstone is the Maryland Governor's Cup winner for white blends. Named after the meta basaltic greenstone prevalent in hilly central Maryland, this is a non-traditional blend of Albariño and Sauvignon Blanc. High floral notes accompany mandarin orange peel, Meyer lemon zest, winter melon, and minerals. Refreshing acidity and a slight creaminess will help this pair with many salads and entrée. This wine is as interesting to drink as it is to smell and is a true winner. — 10 years ago

Dosage Zéro Champagne Blend

This was a great entrée into a tasting. It stimulates your salivary glands for what's to come! — 10 years ago

Château Port du Roy

Bordeaux Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend

The Merlot is pleasant and round. Fruity without being too sugary. Wild strawberries are easy to drink when the vanilla is so soft. Great value. Très bon rapport qualité - prix pour une rondeur de fraise des bois sans trop de vanille. Excellente entrée de gamme de la part de la maître de chai du Château de Portets. — 10 years ago

Balances fruity chard with a shadow of oak. It was a nice appetizer.. Savory. The entrée I suspect wld have gone better with a dry riesling — 11 years ago

Saint Clair Family Estate

Sauvignon Blanc 2013

A pale clear straw, the '13 Saint Clair Sauvignon Blanc, is another classic NZ-style SB. Big gooseberry and grapefruit aromas followed by tart citrus and pear flavors with some salty mineral notes. Velvety textured mouth with prolonged finish. Paired perfectly with our Creamy Parmesan Chicken Pasta entrée. — 11 years ago

Paul Lato

"Il Padrino" Bien Nacido Vineyard Syrah 2014

Entrée course wine for the Paul Lato wine dinner at Amaya. Not sure if this was decanted or opened early. Pretty tight on first taste as expected, but let it sit for for about 15 minutes while enjoying the Suerte. Surprised how quickly it opened, showing dark fruit, pepper and savory elements. Terrific with the Osso Bucco. — 9 years ago

@Norman Gennaro - the Sauv Blanc was the only '15 served at the dinner. The Kokoro Chard and Seabiscuit Pinot were '14s. I hope to get up to Santa Maria to visit Paul in about six weeks, but that won't help for the ongoing '15 release decision. 🙁🍷

Gorgeous sweet fruit, lush and juicy, but with a mineral freshness lifting and balancing the wine. It's a drop dead beautiful vineyard, and the wine reflects that beauty. A wonderful entrée to a new (to me) wine region. — 10 years ago

Rippon is one of the best producers here in Central Otago. Try their Riesling and Gewurz(the 2011 I'd amazing) as well. If you ever find any Sato wines, definitely give them a shot. They are the best in my opinion.
