Had the VGS Chardonnay 2004 (11 years young!) next to 2013. They sure come from the same place. Great structure and great complexity. — 9 years ago
Arianna Occhipinti's eponymous natural Sicilian red. Aromatic, earthy and fruit-driven. Paired with a small mountain of roast lamb and new potatoes at Yard, the fabulous Parisian restaurant of chefs Shaun Kelly and Eleni Sapera. — 10 years ago
Delightfully Apple. Starts with a bright sweet apple aroma but quickly turns to a smoothe dry finish. One of the best so far. — 10 years ago

Shepard's Pie wine. Bright acid typical of Minervois. Cherry fruit, tart and prickly. Crushed pepper, black. There is this earthy rubbery thing that dissipates over time. Not dirty biodynamie. — 8 years ago
Just lovely stuff. Pure, light red fruits followed by clay, dried herbs, orange rind. Distinctive among rose, and natural wine near its best. — 9 years ago
Very apple-y. A bit less than dry but not syrupy sweet. Refreshing and fresh. Nicely done. — 9 years ago
Excellent sparkling. Stan brought this from his visit to the Korbel winery. — 10 years ago
A great hard apple cider that is crisp but not overly sweet. — 11 years ago
GW tasting 9/28/16. Nose that's classic Bordeaux woodiness and earthiness. Hints of that peppery now and minerals. Carries through to palate. Like a younger Sociando Mallet. Long good finish. Interesting profile. Indeed still lively. Harvest by hand destem and fermentation in concrete vat starting straight away. Since 70. Cap forms quickly. Insert 2 cm of fresh stem right under vat like a screen to prevent cap boiling over. This apparently reduces tannins to be very fine and not obvious. So no oxygen contact during this. No pump over or punch down. All natural. No sulfur during this. 1 year in large fuder (100 years old!). Then 2 years in old barrels (never cleaned!). No new oak. — 8 years ago
2014 vintage — 8 years ago
A whole bunch of young-vine grapes (7, to be exact) fermented separately in stainless steel, then allowed to make love together over the mild Catalan winter. The love child drinks easy with some weird undertones of dusty jam, mineral effervesce and raw soursop. Bring it out by the case, please. — 8 years ago
Natural Bojo style made with syrah. Pure delight. — 9 years ago
Smokey camp fire. Smoke on the nose, smoke in your mouth. Smokey smoke everywhere. ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. Definitely an acquired taste, but once acquired, little else comes close... — 9 years ago
Funky fizzy natural cot I could drink for days — 10 years ago
