Valdespino

Inocente Macharnudo Vineyard Fino Palomino Fino

Man, you can certainly tell the pedigree of this house just on the nose here. Though I’m typically not a big fan of sherry, this fino smells delicious. Nutty, ethereal, and like unbaked cinnamon apples (for those who have made homemade apple pie, picture the smell once you’ve sliced the apples and rolled them in the cinnamon and sugar - this is exactly the nose here.) The palate is bone dry with more nuttiness and stony minerality. Cool wine.. wish I enjoyed fino Sherry more... — 7 years ago

Venge Vineyards

Family Reserve Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Much more accessible and fruity than the '14 hunnicutt 935. The hunnicutt will improve over time but this is drinking well right now (but still will benefit with a few years) . the bone ash is more of your opulent cab compared to this. 96-97. — 8 years ago

Why is the Venge Sangiovese almost half the price of B Cellars Sangiovese? Just received email from the B, $65.00 or $48.00 for club

Oops,
I was comparing my auction price buys, their about the same price from wineries, $45.00 from Venge

@Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher venge's prices are always a little lower than the wineries he consults for. The b cellars sangio is more prototypical sangio whereas the venge is a bigger denser wine.

Sorbara Lambrusco del Fondatore

Pale red and very fruity yet bone dry. Stewed strawberries and a touch of rhubarb with a fresh red currant note. Very fine mousse with tiny, Persia bubbles. So juicy and refreshing!
Paired with a lasagna - it’s a match made in heaven!

Brooks Winery

Willamette Valley Riesling 2013

Brooks sells a tee shirt that reads, "If you don't like Riesling, you're a fucking idiot."

I'm on board. Honey and a floral white peachy nose with petrol. Then the palate is nothing like the nose. Bone dry, bracingly acidic. Low fruit character but a pineapple thing happening late in the finish. Minerality for days. Gonna have to buy some more and lay it down.

Absolutely delightful Provence Rose. Blend of Grenache, Rolle, Cinsault, Syrah, and Mourvedre grapes. Strikingly pale pink in color, the aromas are fresh and fruity. On the palate, it is bone dry through the finish. The name really suits the delicate nature of this wine. — 8 years ago
