Vincent Arroyo Winery

Bodega Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2004

I found Vincent Arroyo by following the Smyser abridged guide to Napa Valley. This 2004 is aging very nicely and brings back fantastic memories of tasting in Vincent's barn on a sunny day in Calistoga. I drank a lot that day....

Fontanasanta Vigneti Delle Dolomiti Nosiola 2012

The first bottle was corked. The nose featured fruit and minerals. In the mouth wonderful acidity acts as a tour guide for the fruit. Puts on weight and opens even more with air. — 11 years ago

Les Crêtes

Valle d'Aosta Petite Arvine

A winter, approaching spring, white that complemented the braised chicken thighs & parsnips dinner, roaring fire and garden catalog explorations. Where is my northern Italy trip guide ??? #italy #italianwine #valledaosta — 11 years ago

Siete Gavias

Mencia 2013

Cherry red color with very attractive
violet rim.
The nose presents with abundant
notes of red and black fruits, strawberry,
raspberry, blackberry and hints
mineral graphite and slate that
confer complexity.
The palate is fruity flooding
sensations of blackberry and forest fruits.
Noted for its meatiness and freshness that
provides a balance between sweet tannins and
acidity.

Rosso di Montacino Sangiovese 2012

9.2

Like most Rosso I've experienced, this shows the immediate splash of fruit. After an hour in the decanter this screams of earth and leather. Black cherry, oak, barrel tannin, and solid acidity guide it to a lengthy finish. — 10 years ago

Domaine Comte Senard

Bressandes Corton Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2004

Tour guide next to us said '04 was one of the worst vintages in the past 50 years. I have to disagree, Monsieur... Smoky and savory, one of my favorites from the day. — 11 years ago

Froschkönig Spätlese Riesling 2010

phenomenal. "Minges farms with organic practices, and is in the process of transitioning to bio-dynamics; though he’s most interested in the energy in the life-cycle of bio-dynamic practices, he intends to achieve certification in the near future. Minges considers himself more as a cellar master than a winemaker, raising the wines from their birth on the vine as ‘children,’ the grapes need nurturing in the vineyard, then as ‘teenagers’, turbulent in fermentation, they need to be left alone, finally maturing for as long as possible, undisturbed on their lees, eventually coming into their own character. These philosophies guide his decisions: meticulous work in the vineyard, spontaneous fermentation in stückfass, an extra long time on gross lees, extremely minimal sulphur use and only at bottling." — 13 years ago

Matthiasson Vineyard Refosco 2013

Refosco. The grape may sound like an old blind Italian man's trusty guide dog, but it's sure to impress. Light, fruity, drinkable, and overall delicious. I'm bbq'ing ... And naming my next dog Refosco — 10 years ago

Avignonesi

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Sangiovese 2012

Visited the winery while on our honeymoon in Italy. The wine was great (snagged this for €19) but the tour of the winery was awwwwwwful. There were 12 people in the group and 4 of them were babies. Actual babies. Plus, one of the parents was a know-it-all wine snob (but like, he was also a skaterbro?) that the guide had to silence a few times. Overall, great winery and product. — 10 years ago
