An elegant wine that shows its class in a tough vintage. Dried flowers, sweet rich cassis, blacktop. The real star tonight was the venue. About 35 minutes out from my old country farm and located in Kinston, NC is The Chef and the Farmer by Vivian Howard. An amazing farm to table with flair creation in the food graveyard of Eastern NC. Extraordinary apps and entrees, fresh modern but comfortable environs and friendliness from everyone....and I'm confident they have the best wine list for 250 miles. A true destination dining experience. Thank you @DAG for the recommendation and intro. — 9 years ago
This rose made from Agiorgitiko is nearly red in color. The nose is quite floral, with jasmine and rose petal. The palate leans much heavier towards expressive ripe fruit. Peach, sour cherry, and strawberry are balanced well with nice acid and heavier tannin. Food is recommended, this is a serious rose. — 9 years ago

A farmer turned producer. Mary grew grapes for many of the big names before starting her own tiny little label. I keep thinking this 07 will be ready to drink but it continues to improve. Not even close to peak yet. The 94 overall rating on delectable says it all. Great pinot. — 9 years ago
Wow!! Fantastic farmer fizz. Seriously hits all the right Champagne notes for me. Nose is concentrated and generous with rich toasted nuts, fresh croissant, baked yellow apple, and a truckload of crushed chalk. The palate surprises with much more precision than the richer nose might indicate, which I LOVE and makes for a really interesting juxtaposition. Hits you with a heavy dose of crushed chalk, which opens up to lemon meringue and crisp orchard fruit, which then gives way to a yeasty, croissant finish, carried from attack to finish with rippling waves of laser-focused acidity and a fine mousse of bubbles. That fine mousse and skillfully managed lees aging provides some nice body, although it's still very lively and nimble. Just... so fucking tasty. — 9 years ago

Takes its name from the free-spirited gentleman named Bruscone who lived in the woods of the Barbi Estate. Ruby with bright aromas of red berry fruits and wild flower notes. On the palate strawberry and cherry flavors, well balanced with avidity & fine tannins. Lingering finish ending with earthy tones. Nice value. — 8 years ago
Barossa Fruit. Minty and green tannins but starting to soften on the finish already. Easy drinking. — 9 years ago
We can throw around the idea of a classical wine or producer, but there are precious few that are true classics. This is one. If lightly peppered red berries were made of liquid silk, that would be almost as smooth as the palate of this. Aromatically, this is a fresh summer bouquet of florals & herbs. Just a stunner & showstopper. Will go a bit longer, but in an excellent place to enjoy right now. @Matthew Bigby you are a gentleman & a scholar for sharing this. — 9 years ago
Decanted and waited 2 hours for this tightly wound up boy to turn into a gracious gentleman. A lot of blueberries and hickory smoke — 10 years ago
Nice age and fruit. True natural wine and spent two meals and the whole day with Juan Ramon the wine maker. A farmer, winemaker, and philosopher. — 11 years ago
