Stonestreet Winery

Fifth Ridge Merlot Blend 2007

Beautiful blend. Has staying power over a week and fills out in the glass as it warms. Looking forward to opening these over the next few years. — 11 years ago

Tiare

Empire Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Collio DOP 2011, 14%. Bottle taste in November 2014.
Beautiful color, luminous and slightly green.
Typical Sauvignon nose: leaves of tomatoes and geraniums.
Grapes were slightly overripe, short cryomaceration, aged large barrels. Very elegant in the mouth, with taste of sage, but I must admit that I am a Sauvignon lover. This wine won important prizes in France: very well deserved in my opinion.

Wonderfully zippy. That's totally a wine word. Don't doubt it. — 11 years ago

Scarpetta

Timido Fifth Edition Spumante Rosé Colli Orientali del Friuli Rosé Blend

Simple and enjoyable. We do not need food for this. Refreshing rate is high with just the perfect amount of berries and LSD in my mouth. Pink wine with bubbles for this price is a novelty and just so barely acceptable even the bubbles and color do enough justice to just keep them coming...please more yes please thank you this balancing act is easy. — 11 years ago
