The Grape Escape

Donnafugata

Anthìlia Sicilia Catarratto

Primarily made with the native Cataratto grape, this Sicilian white features fresh and fruity aromas of yellow apple, peach, white flowers and a touch of lemon zest. Same fruits on the pallet. Hint of saline on the finish. Mild (but tangy) acidity helps this wine to be quite thirst quenching and refreshing. Straw gold color and lovely texture. — 5 years ago

Finger Lakes Rkatsiteli 2017

Extremely complex and full of acidity. Aromatics of lemon, Granny Smith apple, basil, wet stones and rubber. The pallet features flavors of lemon pith, peach, green apple and slate. Straw colored and lively. Hint of fruity sweetness on the finish. Nice FLX expression of this outstanding Eastern European grape! — 6 years ago

I have not! Oddly we just had a Portuguese Alvarinho on Thursday. We are on the same wavelength.

Love the nose on this one. More fruit forward because of the blend of Merlot with Sangiovese and one other local grape whose name escapes me. On the wine list at Nonna. — 10 years ago

Michele Chiarlo

Nivole Moscato d'Asti 2018

M. Chiarlo’s Moscato d’Asti is also available in a 375ml which is a nice size to pop open after a nice meal. A slight effervescence wine with a light golden color. Aromas of sweet fresh stone fruits and citrus layered with a bit of floral spice. On the palate flavors of peaches and apricots with a grape-like character. Medium finish ending with citrus, sweet spice and honey notes. A favorite, great value! Grab a 750ml for a larger crowd! — 5 years ago

Filari di Timorasso Timorasso

Wonderful minerality, Timorasso, the white Piemonte grape that has had a big comeback. The mouth feel adds a little bit of green apple and apricot, which gives it extra tartness. (I need to get back to Piemonte!) — 6 years ago

Made from the Golden Aligoté grape which finds its highest expression in Bouzeron where it is championed by Aubert de Villaine, co-owner of DRC. Imported by Kermit Lynch. Paired nicely with oysters. — 7 years ago

Langhe Nebbiolo 2015

Solid Nebbiolo especially for the price. A bit of tannin, a bit of pepper / spice, hints of cherry and (don't laugh) grape. Almost like a softer, fruitier petite sirah. Mellowed out after a day. — 8 years ago
