Chaleur Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

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

Pétillant Naturel Riesling

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

Settevie Langhe DOC Nebbiolo

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

Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Kabinett Riesling 2014

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

Estate Bottled Beerenauslese Riesling 2013

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

Utopia

Utopia Vineyard Rosé Pinot Noir 2014

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

Reserve Riesling 2012

Was not here for this vintage whatsoever so no bias. This is quite possibly the most laser-battery acid-mineral driven Rieslings in New York. Niagara Escarpment at her finest. Get some before I drink it all! — 9 years ago
