Tasted in 2014: This wine needs more love. Pinot snobs probably scoff at anything under $30 a bottle, but this breaks all rules. Bouquet of roses, cherries, raspberries, cedar, and a bit of orange peel. Also some hints of menthol, tobacco, and mint. What else do want from Sonoma Coast? — 7 years ago
If you find a case of this, buy it. Great dinner wine that snobs and newbies alike can enjoy -at a great price. — 8 years ago
Love this red blend! May not be the best, but pour it through a wine aerator, and it’s good! I really like that it’s a little fruity with a surprise spicy afterburn. Wine snobs probably won’t like it, but this spice-loving Texan thinks it’s delicious! — 9 years ago
Wine snobs need not apply! Brilliant example of what's possible with a great syrah maker, although admittedly a bit of a panderer to the fruit hungry palate, it's all there if you care for more than a simple "fruit bomb" — 9 years ago
Funky fruit yet extremely light, bold and yet no tannin at all. 2017 can be opened already. Bierzo needs no introduction and is very complex but wine-snobs shouldn't try this. — 6 years ago
2003 in March of 2018. Fantastic wine. Recorked in 2016. So damn good I can’t stand it. Pretty much everyone, including burgundy snobs, will love this wine. — 7 years ago
Stole this little number from a wine snobs table at the byob spot. 22 years really did a number on this one. softened it but a little too much for my taste. But really insane fruit notes and floral. Strong island vibes. It tastes like a pina colada dead ass. Would not drop the cash required for this bottle (not that I could afford it) but a fun and interesting taste for sure. — 8 years ago

Continued fun with Gavi over the weekend. Spoke to some wine snobs over the weekend and they turned their nose up at the fact I'm enjoying Gavi. All the more reason to continue to talk about it. Great blend and great value although it can be hard to find. — 8 years ago
Deep, dark purple- almost black. Rich berry, with some spice and anise; heavy tannins- decanting helped, but would be better in a few years. Hard to dislike, unless you are one of those close- minded wine snobs who reflexively hate South American malbecs.. — 8 years ago
Delectable flavor, great with cheescake. Snobs will hate this wine for its nonpretentious carbonation. — 9 years ago
Nice workhorse champagne. Probably not enough yeastiness for vrai-champagne snobs, but a lovely, well balanced drop, especially for the ~$30 price point. — 7 years ago
The absolute best Merlot I have ever tasted. To all the Merlot snobs, you don’t know what you are missing — 7 years ago
This was so good they would not even wait for me take a picture of it. This is a delicious Pinot Noir. This is one of those ones that even big cab snobs will enjoy. Rich dark red fruit with luscious tannins that explode in your mouth. Simple a wonderful glass of wine. #California #santaluciahiglands #SoberanesVineyard #Lucia #Pisoni — 7 years ago
Sweet, easy drinking wine. Don't bring if you're looking to impress wine snobs. — 8 years ago
It gets a 9.9 again! Jesus what a fucking wine. Terroir is even more important than most people realize. You can identify old vines in almost any Cistercian vineyard, cut yields, raise them like your children and you can have a great transcendent Pinot Noir. Stop being appellations snobs. — 9 years ago

We are not wine snobs. This was a nice Riesling for people who just want to enjoy a glass of wine without overthinking it. — 6 years ago
