Tightrope Winery
A Coroa
Valdeorras Godello
Straw yellow & medium viscosity. Tropical aromas & racy acidity punctuates notes of under-ripe peach & lush pineapple. Walks a tightrope of ripeness & lean crisp fruit, enhanced with a mineral finish. — 11 years ago

Two Shepherds
Syrah Mourvedre 2011
Pyramid Tightrope. Between fruit, tannin, and that stinky, wonderful, Mourvèdre Stink. — 11 years ago
Domaine Huet
Clos du Bourg Demi-Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2010
So, so, so good. Exactly the right amount of RS and screaming acid. 200-pound barbell on a tightrope. Oozes Chenin-y power: baked apples, beeswax, salt, honeysuckle, aged cheddar, and crushed white stone. Pinguets at the hight of his powers in a stellar vintage. Hope there are more in the pipeline like this. Demi-sec is my favorite style from the house and probably the most age-able table-wine style, as the Molleux are too sweet for anything but cheese, in general. Drink from now until the end of time. — 10 years ago
Corison
Kronos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Fruit forward but delicate. Walking a tightrope and I love it. — 11 years ago
Chozas Carrascal
Utiel-Requena Las Ocho Red Blend 2010
This wine has rescued my taste buds from several recent lackluster wines - it is absolutely delicious! A blend of 8 varieties including Bobal, Grenache & Cab Franc. This wine is rich, luxurious, headily aromatic, deep, darkly fruity and balanced like a tightrope walker. Find it, drink it, love it! :) — 11 years ago
Gerhard Ziemer
Does an amazing job of walking the tightrope of new/old world, fleshy fruit (pear, quince, pomelo), with just enough acid to keep it in balanced. A bit of nutty bitterness at the finish-- what it needed..,. — 10 years ago
