Ana Beirut

Mount Lebanon Cabernet Sauvignon

Got to meet the owner of Ana Beirut and hear about a region where wine has been made for thousands of years. This bottle has aged well and still had lively notes of cherry and leather. Smooth silky finish. Very reasonable price too. — 5 days ago

Ana Diogo-Draper

Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Bold after 30 minutes or so. Excellent everyday wine. — 3 years ago

Clos Santa Ana

Velo different vintages from 2015 Red Blend

Welp this wine is fucking weird and I like it. Tastes smokey like my lapsang souchang tea, but also crisp and funky. I feel like this needs a very special cheese pairing; made a comte grilled cheese which was close. — 4 years ago

Bodegas Santa Ana

Homage Chardonnay 2021

Ya gotta love #mendoza #chardonnay that punches weigh above its weight class. Subtle apple, pear aromas, comes alive on the palate with juicy tart green apple, lemon zest. Crisp texture and not at all weighty. — 8 days ago

Bodegas Olivares

Hoya Finca Hoya de Santa Ana Monastrell Blend 2020

On first opening, bouquet of black cherry and blackberries, Big Red cinnamon gum, bell pepper, and smoky bowling alley; palate of black cherry and plum, char, and black tea with a medium-short finish. On the second day the candy and bell pepper smells taper, bowling alley becomes more of a whiff of pipe smoke, blackberry bramble emerges with spent firecrackers; on the palate the black pepper spice has some herbs de provence, black tea tannins are rounder and the cherry flavor more tart, a fuller body on the finish with notes of char, meat fats, and pepperoni spices. Was gonna go with 89 but it’s impressive once you decant for a day. — 2 years ago

Domaine Pierre Luneau-Papin

Gula-Ana Muscadet Sèvre et Maine

Great white wine made of Melon de Bourgogne. Bought last year at the winery. They produce some great small cuvees which can be found on many wine lists in fine dining restaurants and I completely get that.
@Peter van den Besselaar thanks for sending me to this excellent wine maker!

Clasic Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Smells of tangerine, orange blossom, lime zest, and lemongrass in the bouquet. Notes of grapefruit pith, lemon water, honeysuckle nectar, white peach on the palate with hints of linseed oil and wasabi on a medium-length finish. Fun and interesting white that’s a bit wood-polished sauv blanc meets the old symphony hybrid grape. Should go great with sushi. — 4 years ago
