Our Lady Of Guadalupe

Adriano Adami

Vigneto Giardino Rive di Colbertaldo Dry Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Superiore 2016

It's officially Spring in New England, as witnessed by the 4-6" of snow still covering our property. 🤨
This means it's chimnea time again 🔥 and I've collected some snow into a sizeable mound to act as our outdoor chill station for hopefully the next 6 weeks or so 🤞.
Today's theme is wines we can drink slightly colder and still have some appreciating quality.

Toasty brioche spread with a dollop of warm sugared butter, yum. We could drink this all afternoon. It was a comp bottle from our local 5 🌟 AAA restaurant after they gave my wife's coat to another lady, following an extensive wine dinner. It was of minor consolation on a chilly and snowy December night. We did get the coat back the following afternoon, and it was accompanied by this bottle. We're only a short drive from the restaurant, so the bottle was palatable then, and now.

Nice note. I hit “like” because of the note, not the wine. I’m not a Prosecco fan.

It's ok, prosecco is not a wine for many, especially those who buy from Lyle. We enjoy it infrequently.

ArborBrook Vineyards

Guadalupe Vineyard Vineyard Pinot Gris 2011

Bringing back fond memories of our Oregon road trip. Arbor Brook was my favorite of the visit. Candied lemon and fresh white flower on the nose with flavors of white peach, nectarine, honey and a silty finish. Maybe a little oak? Mmm.... So good — 12 years ago

This wine has aged very gracefully now showing off not just it's bright white peach and lemon zest but following up with notes of werthers original and flan like custard note on the finish.

Argus Cidery

Lady Goldsmith Sparkling Hard Cider

Celebrating four years of marriage. Bottled the week of our wedding. Perhaps we have held up better that the cider, but it's tasty. Heavy oak has integrated, sharp edges from a year or two ago have simmered. Nearly uncarbonated, tasty. — 10 years ago

Six months ago my wife and I toured through Italy. On our trip we shipped home some wines that we loved. Adda, the young lady that helped us in Florence, gave us this bottle as a gift. It's certainly not the best wine we shipped home, but it meant the world to my wife and I. Medium bodied with tart red fruit. Light tannins and lingering acidity on the finish. More important is the memory this bottle brought of our vacation and the kindness of Adda. — 11 years ago

Zellenberg Pinot Gris 2011

Was gifted this bottle for helping a friend, and chose to enjoy it as part of the first home-cooked meal my lady and I enjoyed in our new home. Fat, juicy, and honeyed. This is the jam with a whole roasted fish and something bacony on the side. — 11 years ago
