That kinda night... (paired with Leonard Cohen 🎤) — 7 years ago
Best Pet Nat I've put in my mouth. Respects the grape and respects the process. Floral, apples and citrus. Throw a little earthy minerality and some yeasty funk, you got yourself one heck of a austere wine. Petillant Natural from NYS, it can be done. It is done. This funeral director thinks the label rocks. #niagara #nyswine #nydrinksny #riesling #sparkling #pétillantnaturel #petnat — 8 years ago
Crisp tangy wine. Nicely Oakes. Hits hard in back of throat. Crisp and very dry. Not as pricey as a Barolo but a close sustitute for a fraction of the cost. Does not not have the complexity or the added flavor a of a Barolo. — 8 years ago
Very nice Piesporter. I always enjoy Leonard Kreusch Rieslings, though. Sweet, ripe, green melons, ripe Fuji apple, juicy pear, & maybe a hint of some pineapple too. Nice balance of sweet & minerality. Went nicely with my spicey fish tacos for dinner. 😃👍🏼 — 8 years ago

Delish! Amazing gift from Tommy. Oakes berry nose that matches the palate incredibly. Love!!! Paired lovely with thick cheesy everything pizza. Enhanced the oak goodness. — 7 years ago
I usually don't like Rieslings from the Rhein region as much as the Mosel region, but this one was delicious. Very flavorful, but it wasn't sweet like you think a Riesling would be. This was smooth going down, and no sharp aftertaste at all. I enjoyed this immensely. — 8 years ago

This was a delicious wine. Flavors are full and bountiful of smooth pears and creamy apricots. Would get this again. Great with anything Chinese or fish dishes. — 7 years ago
A very refreshing wine

Excellent value, classic meritage blend with well integrated oak — 8 years ago
Blackberry, cassis, violet, mocha, eucalyptus, oak and hints of mossy earth. Great structure and well-integrated tannins. — 8 years ago
Oakes albaranio!! Different but very nice. More like cool weather Chardonnay. — 9 years ago
This is a rosé I can get behind. Quite a bit more serious than your average. @ 14.1% you'd think it'd be a bit hot but it actually balances the big fruit (watermelon, strawberry, raspberry) and zippy acidity. An early indication of just how good the 2014 vintage was. Patience level is low for the Oakes wines to be ready. — 9 years ago
Dry Oakes, slightly tannic — 11 years ago

2013. Bordeaux replacement of Chard. 65% sauv blanc + 35% semillon. Sauv provides the grassy floral and pineapple notes while the semillon brings forward more body and character. Really cool stuff and I like the direction they took. Not overly Oakes at this stage. I want to see how this changes with age. — 7 years ago
