Four varieties- Zinfandel, Barbera, Grenache and Carignane; no Pinot noir this vintage. Purple red, dense but not inky. Butter, cherry and barrel notes in nose with hints of menthol and barnyard funk. Butter, cherry flavor with length; raspberry, blueberry (and later plum) finish, slightly soapy mouthfeel, almost but not quite hot, citric aftertaste. Good acid, minimal bitterness but lots of tannin sediment (unfiltered). Moderate skin astringency. Needs time to open. Definitely a food wine. Like the old school immigrant-family rustic reds one used to get decades ago in NorCal, but better made, with finesse. And it's got soul, so get your nostalgia on — 7 years ago

Just to be clear, my friend Paul and my husband both HATED this wine. And I think they're totally wrong. This wine is walking home in the rain past neighbors homes and they all have a fire in the fireplace. It's purple-grey and smoky and full of aching nostalgia, eager to get home and warm up in front of the fire. So soft and wet and lush. I wish they tasted what I did. — 9 years ago

Impressive at 36 years. Apparent fruit, good acid. Rating based on the day and wine at the time. Candidly, nostalgia influenced somewhat. — 9 years ago

Strong minerality and petrol up front. Lively on front of tongue. Honey and stone fruit. Mild floral notes. Bright and drinking well in 2015. 2012 vintage. Excellent. Flew back from Germany same day and popped this for nostalgia. — 10 years ago

Chardonnay from Barolo? Yup! Rating may be slightly skewed by nostalgia from having drank it in the vineyard. — 10 years ago

One of the best Italian Pinot Grigios. Nick and I drank it a lot in Italy so there is some nostalgia as well! Definitely recommend this one. — 12 years ago

Went to Rotisserie Georgette and found a lovely bottle of Francoise et Denis Clair St Aubin. Dinner with Protik Basu, with whom I visited the winery in 2013. Nice example of a Primer Cru St Aubin Blanc. May be giving it a nostalgia boost. — 9 years ago

Bonus points for nostalgia, for sure. Still love the menthol/eucalyptus as an herbacial element — 9 years ago

The last sip already induced nostalgia, gamey big flavour but precise acidity — 9 years ago

A great nostalgia beverage to remind you of the days when you used to spin the bottle and fumble for your first touch of boobie. I put this in the "mix" category as opposed to an actual wine. Great for making spritzers. — 9 years ago

Ripe red cherries, vanilla, tobacco spice, herbal notes, nice acidity and tannins. Legs for days. Brings back nostalgia of the cherry-vanilla flavored Swisher Sweets I smoked in high school to make myself feel cool. — 10 years ago

1991. This was the wine that got me into wine years ago. A bit port like on nose with a major profile of sweet kirsch. I really like it more out of nostalgia. But then again, isn't that wine is all about. — 10 years ago

Just awesome. Jammy fruit, cinnamon, and some kind of nostalgia – like grandma’s clothes. Oh, and licorice! — 7 years ago

Like walking into a Ukrainian grocery store, for me. I love the nose on it. Meaty, like ham and maybe a hint of some aged hard cheeses in there, too. Such nostalgia. — 8 years ago

Fantastic- the bottle smells like the antique store in Pipestone MN- old wood floors, iron farm implements kept in a barn for decades with old grease, fertile earth and animal essence. Probably not a sommelier-certified description, but reflective of my nostalgia and love of this bottle. — 9 years ago

Visited this quaint vineyard on a trip to Italy years ago...always love the Badia a Coltibuono, maybe more for nostalgia than anything else, but certainly yummy regardless. Think other vintages are superb. First time trying this one. — 9 years ago

Take a gander at the meniscus of this Monterey County Chard! Could tell it would be full of playful honeysuckle flavors right away. Nostalgia in a bottle, absolutely superb. — 10 years ago

Connecticut white wine, so it's got that going for it. Kinda sweet though. Nostalgia value is through the roof, not an every day white though. — 10 years ago

Maybe it's nostalgia but I think this is Sangiovese at its best ~ when accompanied by Canaiolo & Colorino. — 12 years ago
