Bodegas de Alberto ( Hijos de Alberto Gutierrez )

Dorado Rueda Verdejo

Feeling lucky to have tasted such a rare and special wine that usually never makes it to the states. It’s been quite a while since this moment. Hopefully we’ve begun to import it. — 7 years ago

Il Falcone Riserva Red Blend 2009

Dirty old world Montepulciano blend. Drinks like Rioja used to in the 90s. Lots of charm and quality here. Medium bodied and easy to put down. — 9 years ago

Valtosca Jumilla Syrah 2012

Jumillas Land has its own earthy characteristic. And this wine collects in perfect harmony all these senses from the earth. Good tannic balance , mineral taste with sparkling notes of wild fruits. I recommend it. — 10 years ago

Vina Santurnia Gran Reserva Rioja

v2001. A bit of Brett, initially, but that dissipated about 30 min after opening, which allowed aromas of lavender, leather and black fruit to shine. Black cherry, roasted meat, and juicy acidity on the palate, and a great finish. I really can't relate to the low ratings some have given this wine. A good, moderately aged Rioja at $35? Yes, yes it is. — 10 years ago

Triusco Puglia IGT Primitivo 2001

2001 vintage. Garnet with hints of amber. Floral/blackberry nose. Rich velvety red fruit, off dry, slightly tart on the finish. Started at an hour and a half after opening, was still improving at three hours. Significant sediment, recommend decanting. — 10 years ago

Riserva Il Falcone Castel del Monte Rosso 2009

Any wine that can shine from a plastic cup deserves extra kudos. Mistook for a Northern nebbiolo with its structure, detail, & balance, but the fruit is pure southern, pomegranate & black currants. Eye opener (esp for 30$ list). Want to re taste in proper stemware. I think 80% nero di trioa 20% montulpiciano — 9 years ago

Oddero

Rocche dei Rivera di Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo

Despite being 18 years old it needed hours and hours of decanting and towards the end of the night it finally started coming around. Want to have it again in a few years with hours of decanting to see how it's matured. — 10 years ago
