Funky and tart, like a barn rave. It's been a few months since I've gotten to flirt with Burgundy proper, and I'm glad to be back. Pairing with chicken cacciatore, to bring out the herbaceous, wet-hay-like gaminess that makes wine like this perfect for dinner tonight. While the tart acidity isn't usually my first choice, it balances my dinner masterfully. I bet in 3-5 years, the barrel spice, fruit, and acidity will marry well. — 9 years ago

Tasty palate cleanser during #MVON 6, some honey notes. Didn't get the Flint people rave about. — 9 years ago

I've heard rave reviews about the 2014 vintage from a good number of the producers in the Monticello region of Virginia. Now I know why. The '14 Keswick Merlot is an example of why the Merlot grape is not-so-quietly growing in its acclaim up and down the Atlantic coast. CONSISTENCY is the buzz word, and it shows in this example. It's bright on the nose with stewed cherry and bright, light hints of mocha. PERFECT with a sirloin steak and pierogies. Delicious, juicy mouthfeel and a satisfying finish. It's a perfect introduction to the bright future that's brewing in Virginia. — 10 years ago

Well. It's really well crafted, you definitely feel that the Guigal's have a magic touch. Although a grand wine, it is really not my kind of Condrieu. I am more a George Vernay fan and this Doriane is way too massive, too muscular and intense. Literally, I had the impression of eating a tarte Tatin or a baked apple with cinnamon.
Again, I can understand some rave about it but I personally will not buy it again. — 11 years ago

Bought this on retailer rave recco, which proved spot on. Bright, balanced floral - fruity Pinot package. Bonus = 1st release from this Oregon producer. — 11 years ago

It has been a ☔️️☔️️🍂🍂 weekend here in Chicago and I couldn't let this gift from @David A Lentine stare at me anymore. Time to pop some good stuff. Plus we have to celebrate a 💪🏻💪🏻 showing by 🇺🇸 at the Ryder Cup, right @Mike Rowe ⛳️?

I'm excited to try some of @Celia Welch wines that all you post so much of and rave about. 2011 was a difficult harvest but the initial swirl indicates no impact of that!

Once again @David A Lentine thanks for the generous gift and feeding my #napacab addiction!! #100percentcab #napavalleyforever

Tasted Sojourn's '14 Pinots and immediately contacted the winery and begged for their entire lineup. For Pinot lovers, I cannot rave enough about this Sonoma Coast at only $39 (every Pinot drinker should have a couple cases at their house), all the way to the Gap's Crown, which is an amazing bottle for $59 — 9 years ago

Never have seen a 'merlot malbec' before but read rave reviews on this dirt-cheap wine available at trader joe's and has become my new go to weeknight wine. Peppery and balanced and not too intense. Recommend! — 11 years ago

I did not have the privilege of drinking this sauce but my friend in Italy gave it rave reviews. He said' "Rare bottles of artisan wines of great vintages contain basic elements of the most remote secrets of life." This is why I want to learn more about wine and I give my admiration to all of you & @Delectable Wine that help me learn. Cheers and gratitude. 🙏🏽🙌🏾🍷 — 9 years ago

The label shown is the backside of the bottle. The front side is a sketch of a chicken. 2013 vintage. This was THE pinot noir that turned my head around. I LOVED this wine. I have stated before what a great label Big Table Farm is and this is one of those super wines they offer. Not sure you can still buy it, they usually run out before the wine critics can rave much about them. My only wish was that I made enough bucks to buy cases of each pinot they made from this vintage. This is outstanding Oregon Pinot from Willamette valley. — 9 years ago

Rose petal, deep cherry, black granite, wild herbs, lavender, balsamic and fresh leather. I can't rave enough about Mt. Etna wines : Burgundy in disguise. For the price, this is very hard to beat the quality. — 10 years ago

Magnificent wine. 1968 vintage of the Taurasi riserva from Mastroberardino. A true master piece NOW I can't imagine how drinkable it was in its youth. Definitely a wine worth all the rave. — 11 years ago

This very good, dark colored, dark fruited Dolcetto was not a successful pairing with my tomato based meat sauce. I should know better! This wine is a star with Cinnamon's bacon and brochli rave pasta- I should have saved it for that! — 12 years ago
