Not many European producers got the hot 2003 vintage right, but Tempier did. — 6 years ago

Clear butternut gold in the glass. Dried apricots and pottery on the nose. Medium full body and medium plus acidity with medium tannins. Palate of terra cotta, dry ripe stone fruit, and white pepper. A sturdy white in the orange style from one of the original wine regions. Rich eastern European, Ural/Caucasian, or southern US foods would be a great pairing. — 8 years ago

Lovely blend of 5 red grapes including the delicious Nebbiolo. Gary Gosatti back to his Italian roots with some clever European styles and deservedly dark horse winery of the year. Arlewood Wines. — 9 years ago

Good typicity. Dried cranberry, red currant, red plum, dried rose, violets, organic and inorganic earth, moderate level of VA, normal for the style. Bridge between modern and old style. Paired well with a debate concerning the carrying capacity of European vs African swallows, ascertaining the guilt of a witch, and a near-fatal battle with a bloodthirsty rabbit :) — 10 years ago

Finally a Chardonnay I love to drink. Neyers is California based but they make their Chardonnay in a style more reminiscent of European wines. The 2012 vintage was smooth, buttery and easy to drink. Great wine to share during dinner. — 10 years ago

The Northern Rhône example in our little, impromptu North/South face-off during Christmas Eve dinner. This is a European bottled version of “Les Journaries” which is labeled there as “La Maestria”. Most of the grapes are sourced from Levet’s holdings in La Landonne. The bottle was opened about two hours prior and probably would have benefitted from being opened two days prior in retrospect. That being said, this was stunning...and positively feral. Underbrush, herbs, brambles, flowers, meat, anise, and cinnamon bark on the nose and on the palate. As striking as this is right now, the best is yet to come and these will deliver even more joy in 10-15 years. These wines are a beautiful little secret. If you must, drink after a rather protracted decant otherwise stash these deep in the cellar. For those wondering, we paired a 2009 Domaine de Beaurenard “Boisrenard” as the Southern Rhône example which, while massively different in style, was stunning in its own right. — 6 years ago

Classic barnyard nose! Smoke, tobacco, pencil shavings, and mild cherry. Very nice and not over powering. I think European wines definitely taste better in Europe! Conspiracy???? — 7 years ago

Deep but bright orangey gold. Not much mousse to speak of, though that's likely a product of age (and less-than-desirable state store storage conditions). Likewise the somewhat weak bubbles. Biscuity quince and white stone fruit on the nose and palate. Still a firm backbone of acidity though, and that made it a great pair with "nouveau European" fare (trout almondine, fusilli carbonara). Would love to try it upon release. — 8 years ago

Namesake of my 'European' brother, this wine has above average length. Very subtle fruit, perhaps too subtle, but well crafted. Excellent balance. — 8 years ago

2012,a rich soft but characteristic Pinot noir. Lots of good fruit without being too ripe, still some earthiness as expected from a European wine. True, not French, but darn good. — 10 years ago

Very brave and successful effort to make an european style wine. Elegant, balanced, this wine is developing in glass in a wonderful way. — 11 years ago

Showing very nicely. A bouquet of dying violets for sure. The tannins are more present on the front to mid-palate but a very seamless and smooth finish. Acid driven just like all the great European wine should be! — 11 years ago

Mid Lemon in colour. Peachey flavours with a bitter finish. Full and luscious but finishes dry with 13.5% Alcohol. Nice to drink after the Grosset to compare. The following day honeyed notes. Delicious and uniquely European. — 7 years ago

Nice and hearty, with a rustic savory character that heartens back in my imagination to a pre-industrial European winemaking time, sort of a wine version of folk music. I love a wine that transports the imagination. — 9 years ago

The wine continued to get better over the course of dinner. It had a lot more fruit than I would have expected for a European wine even though it was a Syrah. — 10 years ago

No surprise that this semi-dry riesling from the Finger Lakes by @drfrankwine is one of the leading whites from New York. Well-balanced, very European in style. Great value for $15. @thedailysip — 10 years ago

Great #Malbec from #Patagonia, high altitude and thus a cooler climate makes this more European in style. Vibrant purple-red, sappy, red fruit like raspberry, cassis, floral violets, some subtle pepper spice and licorice. Medium to full bodied, medium+ tannin, fresh acidity and an elegant but long, fresh and persistent finish. #gobuythiswine — 11 years ago
