Azienda Agricola COS

Terre Siciliane Frappato 2016

At the intersection of natural and traditional is Cos. There is a nod to the old world and nothing is overly avant garde or boundary pressing. It’s also fresh, unfaulted, unadulterated. Always pleasurable balance of bright red fruit and earthy damp forest floor - without too much crunch or sour.

I turned 34 when I drank this.

Hit the spot with a massive platter of charcuterie on a quaint intersection on the campus of the Université de Montpellier. The ice bag was needed on this warm summer evening. Cheers! — 7 years ago

Poggio Antico

Altero Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2007

On opening it shows. Great intersection of old and new world. 10 years has been good to this guy, and he’s not getting old yet. Still youthful, but rounded and integrated. Has plenty of fruit, tobacco, spice and earth. Rating likely to increase with time and air. — 7 years ago

I think their wines are awesome. Great wines. Great prices. Beautiful winery on top of Montalcino. Definitely worth a visit.

I would love to visit. We were in Tuscany a few years ago but didn’t really visit wineries. Would like to rectify that the next time.

Pierre Gonon

Les Iles Feray Pays de l'Ardèche Syrah 2017

Damn tasty and right at the intersection of ripe and savory. First day the fruit overwhelmed. Second day, the pepper/violet and meat/olives came out but there was still a lushness to the backbone — 5 years ago

Fleurie Gamay 2010

So. I love this man and his wines. The 10’s have felt like they’ve wanted more time on previous pops and this was just completely ready to go. We are in the zone! Perfect intersection of tart cherry, savory olive, and smoky tobacco. Excellent with fish and lamb, running the gamut. Benchmark Beaujolais. — 6 years ago

Belle Glos

Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

En mag and then En mag some more. This is by far the least Wagner-ized wine I’ve ever had from them.

This is the Venn intersection of Pinot, Cabernet and Syrah. Very crowd pleasing. Went well with thanksgiving, since wine pairings are impossible.

Burn Cottage

Central Otago Pinot Noir 2014

The flagship wine from Burn Cottage, a Central Otago, New Zealand producer focused on Pinot Noir. Husband and wife owners Dianne & Marquis Sauvage sought out Ted Lemon of Littorai, and SF Chronicle's winemaker of the year for 2010 (Jon Bonné: "The simple version of Ted Lemon's story: Young American goes to Burgundy. Becomes first American to run a Burgundian wine estate. Comes back and stays true to Pinot's motherland."). Lemon oversaw the planting of the vineyards, along with all aspects of vineyard management and winemaking, chief of which being Biodynamic from inception. The label is a derivative of a 1795 fairy tale called “The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily” which represents the ideal intersection of people and the land reflected in Biodynamics. Black cherry, citrus, and lavender pastille, with some secondary loam and herbs. — 8 years ago

@Shay Aldriedge @Eric S I had seen this a couple times and when I found out that Ted Lemon was behind it, I had to try. The label really makes me want to like this more than I do, but it is very good.

Alpha Omega

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Interesting intersection of blackberries, anise, thoroughly integrated oak on the palette. Long and pleasant finish. Drinkable now! — 6 years ago

Domaine du Possible

Charivari Côtes du Roussillon Grenache Blend 2016

I like the style of these Domaine du Possible wines. They aren’t shy to barnyard and mouse. These animal instincts make for an interesting intersection of funk, mineral, and fresh fruit. You get the sense they are untouched. Charivari is 100% Carignan and nicely expressive. It has a glowing ruby color with raspberry, cherry hard candy, and musty cage. Completely fresh and all in good balance. — 6 years ago

TOR Kenward Family Wines

Hyde Vineyard Napa Valley Chardonnay 2013

I’ve rated and said this before, but this is my favorite vineyard designate and vintage of all of Tor’s Chardonnays. Drinking perfectly, this to me sits at the intersection of old and new world wines. Restraint, balance with and abundance of fruit flavors. Butter, lemon curd, vanilla, with a great acidity. — 7 years ago

Wild red cherry, orange rind, leather, shoe polish, damp leaves, licorice, birch (!). Medium bodied with full concentration. Chalky tannins and medium plus acid. Plum, roses, and dried cherries. Sprightly long length. Beautiful intersection of youth and age. — 7 years ago

Birichino

Monterey Malvasia Bianca 2014

Never had this grape. Lime zest lychee fruit and unripe white peach. Not to sweet and an interesting intersection of Torrontes and Albariño . I'm kinda hooked. Nose of jasmine...like a summer time field. — 8 years ago
