Bright and clear ruby garnet. Inviting nose of black cherries and violets. Medium full palate echoes the nose with a bit of dark plum and anise on the lingering finish. Medium plus acidity and firm (medium plus plus) tannins. What a value to be had in this Langhe Nebbiolo! Under $15 and such intensity and, dare I say, power. Drink now through 2023 with heartier fare than you might think. — 6 years ago
This is really nice and probably on its longish peak plateau. Lots of dark brambly fruit, plum, a bit of leather, refined tannins, a bit boozy. Great w roasted meats and hearty fare. — 7 years ago

Delicious sake, excellent for the price. Cloudy. Malted milk, Asian pear, bit of sweetness, perfumed and a bit delicate. Excellent with spicier Asian fare. — 8 years ago
Tonight's wine is The Four Grace's 2014 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir.
The nose has fresh red fruits that are very pronounced with notes of strawberry, red raspberry, cranberry, cherry, mint, clove and mushroom.
There are notes of red raspberry, strawberry, cherry, cranberry, white pepper, clove, and an earthy minerality.
This is a light bodied wine with medium + acidity, a fine medium + smooth tannin and a fresh long finish.
A very pleasing wine and an enjoyably quaffable burgundian fare from the Willamette Valley that I have come to love.

While it's true this Zin doesn't have the complexity and depth Zinfandel is known for, I find it to be a great summer red, good on it's own and with summer fare. For the price, it's a regular go to wine for us. — 9 years ago
Clear garnet. Nose of black cherry and roses. Medium light, fruity palate of black cherry, violets, and a hint of anise. Medium plus acidity. Medium minus tannins. Hey, it’s a solid Sangiovese that’ll go great with Italian-American fare or medium cheeses. Drink now. — 5 years ago
Lovely light flavor, went well with traditional Thanksgiving fare! — 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

Garnet purple in the glass. Big bosomy nose of black tea, dried flowers, cherries, and a bit of something meaty. This is echoed on the full-bodied palate with medium tannins and medium plus acidity. Medium Long finish of cherries on roasted beef. Great with hearty Italian/Mediterranean fare. — 9 years ago

Exotic, bright, fruity but not cloying, acidic but not tart. An exceptional attention-getter, esp early in the meal, or paired with oysters and summer fare. BEP selection, 4/2019. — 7 years ago
Cellared this wine for the past two years and had moderate expectations, but found it so robust with mellowed tannins and berries that I was sorry that I had not stored a case of this one. I will need to check out how the more recent vintages fare, as this 2011 is not on most shelves. — 7 years ago
Sangiovese Romagna duro legno duro pure lui, maschile , ruvido...,ma se son tutti ruffiani cosa li beviamo a fare.....aspetta se hai voglia....a me mi garba così!!!!!ROMAGNA MAIALA — 8 years ago
A fine Bordeaux of bramble, earth/dust, leather, and herbs. Traditional, delicate, yet enough oomph to pair with Italian fare. Worth a spin. — 9 years ago
Light and dry with some minerality. An easy to drink white. Held up to Thanksgiving dinner but would really shine with lighter fare. — 9 years ago

Reddish tawny and opaque. A food wine kind of nose. Dark fruit, wood and spice. A good wine to go with the Italian fare this evening. — 5 years ago
