Hausmarke Grüner Veltliner/Chardonnay 2017

One of the most compelling wines I’ve had in a while. Took about 45-60 minutes to open up but once it did I found this Grüner Veltliner/Chardonnay blend to be very seductive, deep, rich, and complex. Constantly evolving yet always approachable. In terms of notes I can’t resist providing what Suburban Wines says about it:

“On the nose, this lovely white shows soft, inviting notes of white pear, muskmelon and key lime juice. Stone-like minerality marks the palate, with complimentary elements of mint, apple blossoms, and Asian pears. The first sip is supple on the palate leading to a finish with firm structure and grip. This is a truly remarkable wine.”

Pretty decent for a pinot grigio (the suburban housewife of white wines). Good acid and refreshing and not limp like so many. Something to offer. — 6 years ago

Cherry and wet pavement. Barely underripe strawberry on the nose. Absolutely gorgeous. Tastes like suburban summers as they are remembered & romanticized. — 7 years ago

Very light. basically a glass diet cherry coke after your ice has melted a bit on a hot day with a little fresh dirt mixed in. Somehow tastes like suburban pop punk ❤️ — 8 years ago

Private Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Sweet cheese and rice! Every once and a while, when playing golf, you have that one shot that makes you come back which makes up for all the other bad shots. This wine is like that - found 2 bottles in the back of some suburban wine store hidden with an orange half price sticker - opens big but then smooths out - barnyard and hay on the nose, smooth pallet, tannins but not too much, dark cherry and a hint of Anise. — 9 years ago

Fer Servadou. Woo! Savory and herbal and living in the same suburban development as Loire Cab Franc. More anise, maybe? Regardless, love it. Wish it didn't have a Nomacorc. Probably better younger anyway. — 10 years ago

Las Brisas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Clearly Cali pinot, in the most positive light of 'correct.' Just ripe enough w lightly bruised/macerated red fruit...duck spices (all that matters is that I know what that means)...suburban, side-of-the-road herbs — 9 years ago

Lovely wine with a good blackberry nose. Smooth with good body and a taste that lingers well. It matched fried chicken - the height of British suburban chic on a Friday night - and a nice Mediterranean vegetable and chicken ensemble over two nights.

At £10 from Majestic it's a steal.

Nice , chewy red from a suburban property just outside of bdx. Dark fruited and dense, with a mouthful of plum and cassis, along with a dash of black olive, gravel, and burly, but ripe, tannin. Earthy finish. Nicely done, especially for the vintage. — 6 years ago
