Refrain

Valdubón

Crianza Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2012

What's not to love about drinking a Tempranillo in Mexico with spicy tacos? Given the food choice I'll refrain from commenting on the profile except to say it held up beautifully to the meal! — 9 years ago

Garcia Carrion

Don Simón Seleccion Shiraz

Very inexpensive thanks to Whole Foods perfect accompaniment to red tomato pasta dishes! Homemade with friends just about does this wine perfect. Please refrain from acting like your too good for these grapes! — 11 years ago

Rocca delle Macìe

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2010

Really bright red cherry and nuttiness on the nose. Pretty, pretty garnet in the glass. A bit stiff at first, but it gets more and more inviting over time. I'll just refrain from making an analogy there. Medium bodied and dry. Chocolate, spice, and herbs. Spicy finish but not quite long enough. Nothing complicated here, just some good ol Italian. — 9 years ago

Mumm Napa

Prestige Napa Valley Brut White Blend

Pretty good! Although one should refrain from frezzi by the bottle to get it chilled in a hurry, this is a nice soft on the palette bubbly. Épernay would be proud! — 12 years ago

Bella Vineyards

Late Harvest Zinfandel 2007

Blackberry jam, sweet vanilla and coffee bean with hints of baking spices and dark chocolate. Refrain sweetness on this dessert wine. — 10 years ago

Don Miguel Gascón

Mendoza Malbec 2012

Full rich flavor, not bitter, mild spiciness. I had to refrain from gulping this down. — 11 years ago

Poderi Aldo Conterno

Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2001

Chaad Thomas
9.7

Crushed berry and tar, bits of anise. Sweet and muscular, light floral, and solidly tannic. Evolves slowly, potently, and with savor. Finish seems short, but comes back for a refrain. V.good. — 12 years ago
