Vintage Port Blend 1977

We need more smiley faces for this one. Finish lasted at least 45 seconds. Still enough alcohol for several more years of collaring. Heather is enjoying it again on night two. — 10 years ago

Alvaro Palacios

Finca Dofí Priorat Garnacha Blend 2012

There's nothing like drinking Finca Dofi after touring Finca Dofi. One of the most beautiful vineyards I've ever seen and the wine is a even match (for years to come.) Can I get an extra smiley face? — 10 years ago

Castello di Bossi

Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2010

This is a really decent wine all the way around, and we had a big debate about whether to give it just the smiley face or the open mouth smiley face. But no input from Theodora who uses vivino. So go figure.

Ahhh 2006 was such a great year! Full bodied, ripe delicious fruit. So good! And yes, Kim, I give everything a big smiley face b/c I rarely ever buy sucky wine. :) — 10 years ago

Sometimes you just don't know! But I agree, the worst wine I've had is still better than drinking almost anything else.

Mélange Red Blend 2010

... With steak, cheesy mashed potatoes, asparagus, and shallots (forget the mushrooms). Perfect fit. It's amazing. Smiley face. — 11 years ago

Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay 2008

What a difference from the last bottle, which I apparently rated 8.3 (Based on the old "smiley face" scale). This one was crisp with no spritz. Great Cali Chard. Hope the remaining two bottles are like this. — 9 years ago

Hay Maker

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2012

Enjoyed this wine after a thorough all-roommates-hands-in kitchen clean up. It tasted a bit too intense and grassy (?) at first but the more sips I took the more it grew on me. High smiley face but not quite an ecstatic face. — 10 years ago

The Red Hook Winery

Rebirth From the Sea Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Made in Brooklyn, NY, by our friend & philosophically-trained wine-maker Abe Schoener. Other than the big smiley-faced emoticon there, I feel I should recuse myself from the rest of this tasting note. — 10 years ago

Just got to the bottom of this bottle and it deserves more of a smiley face. It is good -kind of turned my back on pinots recently but this might change my mind. Definitely in yummy category. — 11 years ago
