2013, Benito Santos, Igrexario De Saiar, Albarino. I really like Benito Santos wines. Golden yellow: tart apples, citrus, minerality, salinity. Everything that I want with pan seared white fish. — 10 years ago

2006, Cantine Madonna Delle Grazie, Bauccio Aglianico del Vulture. Stewed black fruit, dried currants and figs. This bottle was smoother with well integrated tannins. Big, bold and intense; everything I like in an aged Aglianico. Paired well with a pan seared ribeye. Last bottle, sad. — 11 years ago

I wanted a buttery Chardonnay. This is that. I am extremely pleased by the straightforwardness of the label. It gets a lot of points for existing and telling me what it is. I am sort of bored and alone so I am barely enjoying this wine, but that is not the wine's fault. I drank half a glass and am about to use the the rest in a pan sauce. I'm sautéing a piece of cod, a marginally enjoyable fish. It is not fair of me to be experiencing this wine in the stultifying way that I am. The taste lives up to the description, and there is only a slight giveaway that the wine is chipped. It was twelve dollars, so I don't care. Thank you. — 11 years ago

I am legitimately stunned how well this wine goes with pan seared salmon, despite how "big" it is. — 11 years ago

Tried this for the first time at the Vancouver International Wine Festival, I had such a great memory with this wine. It hits you with a fully oak filled fruity and substantial aroma of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, cigar, caramel, vanilla and a little breadiness. Burst of energetic fruit flavours supported by its vibrant acidity and smooth yet chewy tannin goes into long a fulfilling finish. Still young, still a lot of potential.. Thanks to my wife for a great dinner of pan seared beef shank steak. — 11 years ago

Nose is a little barnyard. Blackberries, stewed black plums, some blueberries and creamy raspberries, tarry, black licorice, black wet earth, grilled meat, iron pan and expresso roast. Tannins are still slightly grainy. Nice structure and acidity. Check it again in 5-8 years. — 10 years ago

I really enjoyed the wine. I paired it with a homemade tortilla soup and pan seared pork chops with jalapeños seasoned simply with salt, pepper and cumin and the wine was the finishing touch. Vintage 2012. — 11 years ago

This wine is so good. It has a pretty strong herbal flavor which is just how I like it. Drank this wine in the kitchen over a weekday dinner of pan-seared tilapia, rice pilaf, and sautéed spinach. Went really well. — 12 years ago
