Desparada
Death & Resurrection Barbera 2012
Complete infanticide, thoroughly unpleasant to drink even after 4 days. Amazing that someone makes Barbera that needs 20 years. Buy this only if you're young. Inspired winemaking. — 10 years ago
Zeni
Vigne Alte Bardolino Classico Chiaretto Corvina Blend Rosé 2017
On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our full cast of conductors include Andris Nelsons, Christoph Eschenbach, Keith Lockhart, Michael Tilson Thomas and John Williams. The beautiful and vocally talented Audra McDonald is our host for the evening along with Midori on violin and Yo-Yo Ma on cello.
This will likely be an evening to remember for some time. Program notes from the BSO "Reflecting the season-long theme, The Bernstein Centennial Celebration at Tanglewood will spotlight Bernstein's wide-ranging talents as a composer, his many gifts as a great interpreter and champion of other composers, and his role as an inspirer of a new generation of musicians and music lovers across the country and around the globe. The gala concert will feature a kaleidoscopic array of artists and ensembles from the worlds of classical music, film, and Broadway. The entire first half of the program is dedicated to selections from such brilliant Bernstein works as Candide, West Side Story, Mass, and Serenade. Music from the classical canon very dear to Bernstein's heart-selections from Mahler's Des Knaben Wunderhorn and music by Copland-plus a new work by John Williams, makes up a good portion of the program's second half; the finale of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony brings the program to a dramatic close."

Scholium Project
Glos McDowell Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Named Anastasis for its “resurrection” in the cellar after fermentation issues. From low-yielding Sauv Blanc vines near Rutherford that were pulled after the 2013 vintage. Sherry notes, with some apple, nut and yellow jujube character. If you go in thinking Jura, you will enjoy this more than if you go in thinking California. Interesting wine. Only about 14 cases, hand bottled by @Graeme MacDonald and @Johanna Jensen according to Abe’s notes. Interesting that I will have consumed about 4% of total production by the time I finish my bottles. — 8 years ago
Marius Wines
Resurrection Single Vineyard McLaren Vale Shiraz 2014
From the bottle: ’I made this wine to celebrate my return to life following my serious illness in 2013’. Thankfully, there seems to be lots more Marius to come. Dark and densely fruited, medium bodied with fine tannin. So much going on - chocolate with earthy, anise, herbs and spice, ripe but restrained and elegant with lovely savoury highlights. Pushing 96. — 8 years ago

Monopole Rioja Blanco Seco Viura 2014
This is the Monopole Clásico, a resurrection of a style popular from 1940 to the 70s. Less fruit-forward than the usual monopole blend, this is viura topped off with manzanilla courtesy of Hidalgo and aged in oak. Flinty on the nose. The style is buttery, rich, with great acid and notes of pear, lemon, and a fascinating saline note throughout. Bring on the retro Riojas Blancas. — 9 years ago
Alvaro Palacios
L'Ermita Velles Vinyes Priorat Garnacha 1995
This is one of the first wineries in the current resurrection of this region and we had Alvaro in last year for a dinner. This wine is still quite youthful and has a lot of dark cherry blackberry fruit and a full array of fresh flowers and herbs fresh slate like rocks very smooth and silky texture with layers of juicy fruit dried flowers and — 12 years ago

We're revisiting some producer bottles from our late Spring France vacation earlier this year.
Awesome bottle, so mineral driven, toasted brioche spread with quince jam.
