Columbia Valley Chardonnay 2012

You're that open-minded hipster girl that wears flannel, but can surprise you in heels and pearls when you get to know her. Don't smile at me like that, I'm only a mortal man. — 11 years ago

Michel Gonet

Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne Chardonnay

My favorite Champagne of the night at #PBFW, the Michel Gonet Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru NV offers layered complexity on the nose and palate. Heady aromas of brioche, graham cracker, poached pear, and apple pie. The bead is quite fine, like seed pearls embroidered on golden-threaded brocade. It's sappy and intense, with a singular cord of acidity giving lift to quince and dried fig notes along with penetrating flavors of smoke and sea salt on a protracted finish. 12.5% ABV | Sample — 11 years ago

Terre Di Serrapetrona

Robbione Vernaccia Nera 2006

Giampiero Nadali
9.0

Vernaccia Nera Is a rare grape coming from Serrapetrona, Marche. It needs 2 months of drying to be ready to press, the result is a charming deep red wine, with some smoky hints. It is one of most "black pearls" we have in Italy. Very good. — 12 years ago

Altos Las Hormigas

Terroir Valle De Uco Malbec 2011

No fancy shmancy review. Had it with an interesting beef curry and bulgogi fusion dinner and it up to the challenge of bridging the strong diverse flavors of the meal. Did I mention the homemade bread and butter pickles with clove, the pickled beets, and steamed rice that accompanied the beef? This Malbec tied them together like stringed pearls. — 10 years ago
