Light pinot - good for warmer days perhaps had it with sage pork sausage — 11 years ago
Michele Chiarlo
Le Orme Superiore Barbera d'Asti 2009
Ruby red with violet hues. Elegant, with good intensity - you can feel the fruits of berries, mint leaves. Well structured, fruity and dry.
Pair with dishes of pasta with red sauces, white meats and red meats. — 14 years ago
Vincent Girardin
Cuvée Saint-Vincent Bourgogne Chardonnay 2010

Clos du Val Wine Co.
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011
2011 vintage. Deep red, balanced and intense but silky. Enjoyed with lobster Fra Diablo. Good pair. — 11 years ago
Louis M. Martini
Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon 2011
Good value ($12) for a good wine! Black cherry, currant and spice! Like better as standalone. Might pair well with cheese and protein — 13 years ago
Oak Ridge Winery
OZV Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel
This wine has a serious jammy character at first. It's been open for a few days now and softened, still good. Another surprise at Trader Joe's — 10 years ago
Campo Viejo
Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2010
Little sweet, tingly finish, good body and balance. Pair nicely with lamb — 10 years ago
Hatzidakis Winery
Cuvée No. 15 Santorini Assyrtiko 2012
Medium gold color. Nose of wax, brown sugar, flowers. On the palate there is not much acidity, flavors of oxidized apples, exotic fruit, flowers, wax, and butter. Shows some evolution but in the same time great depth. A wine to pair with a meal instead of taking it by itself? Very good (89)
Made of Assyrtiko and aged 6 months in stainless tanks. Alcohol level of 14,5% — 12 years ago

Violets and grandmas perfume on the nose (in a good way). WOTN for me. Great tasting. Unfortunately just a taste... Not my usual test over two or three days. — 10 years ago
