Transmission Wines

Raul Pérez

La Vizcaina La Vitoriana Lomas de Valtuille Bierzo Mencia 2016

Tobacco, dark berries, transmission fluid, damp earth. Delicious. — 5 years ago

Domaine Bernard Gripa

Les Figuiers Blanc St. Péray White Rhone Blend 2014

This was quite delicious and much needed after a long drive and (what didn't turn out to be, but we were worried might be) a transmission issue in the motor coach — 8 years ago

in the orignal text of Pliny the Elder when speaking about St. puh-ray (sic) whites, he said, "ye best wines for ye instances when ye transmission issues have henceforth ceased."

Gripas whites are amazing.

Château Lafleur

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

An oxidative note initially which blew off to reveal Florals with notes of mint and Liquorice. On the palate normal transmission is resumed with black fruits and tobacco “mouth perfume “ A beautiful wine and probably my WOTN. — 6 years ago

d'Arenberg

d'Arry's Original McLaren Vale Shiraz Grenache 2010

Really like this blend. About $17 and worth it. Nose of road tar and transmission oil. Sounds good, eh? Deep blackberry and plum. Little burn on follow- through, but overall a quality wine for the price. — 8 years ago

L'Anglore Nulle Part Ailleurs Mourvedre 2014

Eric Pfifferling is my Mourvedre spirit animal. This is alive, vital and a direct transmission of fruit and site - the kind of wine that grabs you by the lapels and shakes you, shouting, "THIS is what natural wine is all about!" Fruitbasket notes aside, this is pure energy. — 7 years ago

Man you were having the craziest tasting I've ever seen. Top of the tops

Overnoy-Crinquand

Arbois Pupillin Chardonnay 2013

The moldy leather father's wallet of a rainy California winter. He's working on the transmission on the living room carpet and you can taste it after you pull his wet wallet in from the porch. Stunningly sentimental wine. — 9 years ago
