Lovely muscadet. Crisp, clean, minerals, appleskins. Not too acidic. A slight touch of lemon. Like a squeezed lemon at the bottom of a glass of ice water, exhausted lemon rind. Good stuff, go pick up a bottle at Ashe's $12.99 — 9 years ago

It is a Prosecco Superiore Brut who does ageing on the yeasts at the end of secondary fermentation in the bottle (Metodo Classico). My dear friend Silvano Follador firmly believes to the hig potential of secondary fermentation with disgorging instead of Charmat or "sur lie" (col fondo) method which may be sometimes too sweet or even not stable because the presence of the work-in-progress yeast. Acidity, cleanness and savoury sensations that's what Silvano's steadily looking for in his Prosecco and I must admit these are all features that I found for instance, in this Dosaggio Zero (pas dosè) 2010 vintage, who left right on my mouth a genuine feeling of citrus and loquats freshly picked from the branch and squeezed directly into the glass. — 9 years ago

Wowza! Radiating brightness and tasting more like 2 years old than 22. Lemon squeezed over rocks. — 9 years ago

Stunning and very individual stuff bringing a waxy mid-palate complicated by high pitched, tart stone fruits and defined mineral accents, finish lengthy and fresh with freshly squeezed lemon juice flavors. Versatile and utterly complex yet likeable. — 10 years ago

Just crazy delicious. Warm apricots, honeysuckle, mint, and this crips apple undertone. Squeezed the hell out of the bottle for one more drop — 10 years ago

Never heard of and can't pronounce the variety (Rkaciteli), and couldn't identify Macedonia on a map, so obviously had to try it. Really good! Distinct lemon-lime nose and flavors, almost like a bone-dry Sprite, lots of refreshing acid, very light and clean on the finish. One-dimensional in a good way, just fresh-squeezed citrus and not much else. The simple pure citrus character meant that it worked with lots of different food flavors, from salad to meat. Don't think we'll grow Rkaciteli in Napa, but it opened my eyes to the merit of a simple but very pure wine with a meal, like a cocktail ingredient rather than a complete ensemble. — 9 years ago

A perfect IPA with a full bodied taste, with the exception of the citrus and the freshly squeezed hops. I wanted a mild IPA and this is that IPA. — 10 years ago

A very crisp and citrusy Riesling with great flavours of lemon and lime. Has a long and crisp finish. A great quality wine. Would be lovely with a piece of fresh grilled fish, acting as the lemon/citrus does when squeezed over the fillet. Big tick!! Great value! — 11 years ago

Loved this Tavosa Grenache. Squeezed from a Rhone-inspired grape, this wine drinks like a Pinot Noir. — 12 years ago

A leading domaine for Sauvignon Blanc in Loire (Sancerre AOC) is Pascal Cotat a natural winemaker who owns 2,5 hectares of vineyards splitted in two lieu-dits: Les Monts Damnés and La Grande Côte in Chavignol, east of Sancerre. The chalky soils parcel of Les Monts Damnés owned by Pascal is in the higher grounds (very steep slopes), the vines are around 35 years-old organically cared (seaweed and other natural preparations to fertilize the soil).
Pascal (as does his cousin François) prefers late harvests, more than a week after every other winery in the region.
Wines are unfined and unfiltered in the bottle. First superb impression drinking this delicious 2014 was: fermented sea water which goes down as a freshly squeezed ripe pink grapefruit filling up your mouth, cleaning up your mind of all uncertainties, riddles or prejudices.

From the DOC Noto Nero d'Avola (Sicily) to my parent's table in order to mitigate the legumes gloom that springs out of a winter beans soup bowl - "pasta e fagioli"- so eloquent in his humble celestiality.
Pierpaolo Messina's the producer, Marabino's name of the winery. What a pomegranates plot like! Same succulence of a "blood orange" squeezed by this red wine originated from vineyards rooted on such a white soil "terra ianca"! A fertile land cultivated with art wisdom and awareness, all qualities though, applied with energetic measures by Pierpaolo who's inspired at - both practical and theoretical - some sound principles in the biodynamic agriculture arousal. — 9 years ago

Explosive aromas of gun flint, spice, vanilla and tart lemons, adding complexity with air, bringing richer elements of tropical fruits and freshly cut herbs. Luscious on the palate with beautiful texture, fresh acidity and and a lingering finish dominated by lime and freshly squeezed lemon juice flavors. A tiny tannic grip add lift and interest on the back palate. Will age nicely for another 10 years. 96 p. — 10 years ago

A beautiful golden yellow in color leads to a delightful aroma of freshly squeezed lemons, with hints of oranges and minerality. There is a fresh, crisp, clean taste to this wine. A saline taste at first that gives way to good citrus favors. A good minerality of river rocks and limestone on the backend. I can see anyone sipping this on a warm summer evening and enjoying the hell out of it. — 12 years ago
