Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl Kabinett Riesling 2014

Lacks the acid balance given the sweetness. Great finish. Rich feel in mouth. The toad may not have made it completely out of the pool — 10 years ago

All Right Hamilton! White Blend

It's better than a hot pot of coffee to the eyes! Stunning Aromatics; every tree-fruit I can conjure is found on the nose alone. Serve only slightly cooler than room temperature. -Vintage 2013 — 11 years ago

Chateau Ste. Michelle & Dr. Loosen

Eroica Columbia Valley Riesling 2013

Right on the money with this Riesling! Straw in color and star bright. Nose was filled with lemon-lime, honeydew, Granny Smith apples, wild honey, citrus blossom, ginger, and new plastic pool toy aromas. The palate was extremely well balanced and the acidity was high and puckering. The tart lemon and lime flavors held through the finish. The finish was surprisingly long, and it was a nice medium-minus body. This Riesling provides a solid compliment to spicy sushi and spicy foods. It holds up strong and has a lot of backbone. All in all, this is your Riesling if you are looking for a refreshing, acidic, dry breath of fresh air. Instant favorite of mine! Washington dry Rieslings are spectacular. Cheers! — 9 years ago

Man... The wine is NON-STOP. Rise up, Hamilton wine. The vineyard has its eyes on you. How could I say no to this? — 10 years ago

Ampeleia

Kepos Grenache Blend

Reminiscent of Beaujolais' Gamay, this southern part of Tuscany's Ampeleia is producing some fine red wine! Mine tonight, after 30 minutes swim and spin in the decanter's pool of naked open space and air shows first to the nose wet rocks, slate and sandstone freshly accenting menthol and anise then strictly earthen dirt and minerals and a hint of the berries. First kiss is lightly but intriguingly nasty, wet and dripping red fruit which immediately coats and clings but most interestingly reaches back for the wet rocks overlooking the Med, then re-engages just in time to leave hints of her red and blue berry essence complimenting the blackened octopus in a mash of white beans and spices laced with a hint of Tabasco offered up by Chapel Hill's Il Palio located off Franklin Street (checkout both) Ciao🕶 — 10 years ago

Oddball Saperavi 2013

Second time around in just as many nights. Allowing nearly 10 hours to open up brings oyr a beautiful sweet raspberry coulis like palate which I'm seriously enjoying. Tannins have settled too. — 9 years ago

Château Miraval

Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend

It's time for Rose but then again when is it not a good time for Rose? This solid go to whether it's sipping by the pool or pairing with a salad and some light pasta or veggies, Miraval does the trick! — 9 years ago
