Freezing my ass off in NYC and back at Cipriani... How many $20 bills have I palmed Fabio over the years, but he parts at least 50 people to give me the best table in the house... This Moses parting this human Red Sea greets me with two kisses and a welcome Mr. Peter... Love this guy... Anyway, Scott & Deb, two of my oldest clients join me... Deb looks exactly the way she looked 20 years ago and Scott looks great... This wine; AIA!!! Velvety, rich, dark, seductive... It's a beautiful woman in a glass... Ornellaia and Sassicaia... Two of my favorites... Still young, but oh so drinkable... — 10 years ago

9.0

Beautifully weighted Sauvignon (and I'm usually not a fan). Light on the gooseberry more towards quince & guava on the nose. Mouthwatering rather than prickly acidity with well defined lime fruit and more body than you'd expect, Kevin is a great winemaker! — 11 years ago

Vi d'Agulla Petillant Blanc Muscat Blend 2014

Tim Herrmann

9.1

Floral and peach on the nose, same plus lemon and stones on the palate, with awesome prickly bubbles and super refreshing acidity. This is perfect for what it is! Everyone who drinks seltzer water should just drink this... — 10 years ago
