Twist Of Fate

Samuel's Gorge

Mourvedre

Really floral again and very jubey, like a lot of the range. Blackcurrant lifesavers, potpourri, black tea, meats cooked in anise and cumin, caramel tobacco, spiced plums, goji berries. Palates concentration revolves around the spiced plum that sits right in the mid palate and finishes with a licorice and fennel like twist — 9 years ago

Barolo Chinato Nebbiolo

This is divine served warm with a fat twist of orange. It's a favorite after dinner treat. — 9 years ago

Domaine Lafage

Miraflors Rosé Blend 2014

A near perfect rosé at a great price. I prefer this soft fruit tempered by a light floral note all properly and proportionately positioned against a mineral intensive rocky bottom as swift waters twist and turn their way downstream leaving one's palate clean and refreshed but laced with the memory of the moment😎🌀 - buy the magnum at my favorite local Morehead City, NC hang - Promise Land Market (thx sweet Janeen and Daniel for spinning some crazy sweet tunage!)! Find this place in all its realness, and drink this wine! — 10 years ago

Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin

Les Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2004

Young gold color, with green hue. Fine and note that expressive nose were lime and a salty twist blend together. On the palate, great acidity, nice fruit, an enjoyable minerality and a tight finish. Tasted blind, I was surprised to see how young the wine felt and quite glad it did! Happy for the bottles of Clos from other vintages I have in the cellar. Very good.

Made of Chardonnay. Bottled after 10 months of ageing in oak barrels. Alcohol level of 13%

Château d'Esclans

Whispering Angel Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 2013

Flavors of raspberry and strawberry with a lite citrus twist. Has a nice long finish. Great with our lobster lunch! — 10 years ago

Rochioli

Rosé of Pinot Noir 2013

Delicious as usual, some unneeded residual sugar this year--an interesting twist. Strawberries and light cherries, very tasty. — 11 years ago

Cantine Due Palme

Pillastro Puglia Primitivo 2013

One of the best quaffers I have seen in a while. Obviously a product of a warm climate displaying ripe fruit flavours yet with a savoury twist. Also quite sweet on the palate. Very much a crowd pleaser which will sell dozens. 2013 vintage. — 9 years ago

Brooklyn Winery

North Fork Blend Red Wine

Slight whiff of burned plastic (or am I just having more strokes?) Savory Cherry Vanilla Coke with an iron rhubarb twist. Williamsburg the Wine. — 9 years ago

Southold Farm + Cellar

Cast Your Fate to the Wind Cabernet Franc

Speaking of good wine from Long Island. This is full on delightful. Earthy, crunchy, spicy. — 10 years ago

Domaine Pinson Frères

Mont de Milieu Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2012

Jörgen Lindström Carlvik
9.2

Wonderful, expressive and ripe with spicy pear flavors, round and inviting, showing traces of vanilla, mineral accents and an herbaceous twist on the mature finish. It may lack structure for the long haul, but this is lip smacking good right now. — 10 years ago

Domaine Giraud

Tradition Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2007

A nice twist to mix up the range of California wine I drank over the Thanksgiving holiday. — 11 years ago

Podere Il Carnasciale

Carnasciale Toscana Cabernet Franc Merlot 2011

Jörgen Lindström Carlvik
9.2

Gorgeous aromas here; melting licorice, ripe cherries, Swiss dark chocolates and tell-tale herbacious twist. On the palate, truly sexy fruit, lush and round, with sweet tannins and lowish acidity. More approachable than usual at this stage, but in many one of their finest versions to date. — 11 years ago

Bruno Duchêne

La Luna Vin de Pays de la Côte Vermeille Red Blend 2014

Really had no idea what to expect from this, but it's super delicious. Bright, juicy Grenache with bite. Bit of a spritz and a twist of VA, medicinal, almost figgy fruit. Proper med tropical juice. Good. — 9 years ago

David Léclapart

Cuvée l'Apôtre Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Champagne Chardonnay

Needed to quite a bit of time, but it was worth it. Very interesting, leaner style, but with a magical twist to it, i love David's wines and it surprises me every damn time — always new and always fun. Kind of reminds of Musar in that way — it's never the same, yet every bottle is charmingly delicious. — 9 years ago

Petite Ruche Crozes-Hermitage Rouge Syrah 2013

Jimmy Smith
9.0

2013: good typicity; black pepper, cloves and violets. More of a black fruited style, blackberry, currant. Medium to light bodied, fresh Livy acid, hardly any tannin. A supple easy drinker, with decent Syrah aromatics. Smoky, black peppery length, with some twist of exotic spice (cardamon) — 10 years ago

Jean Foillard

Côte du Py Morgon Gamay 2013

Jörgen Lindström Carlvik
9.0

Sappy red berries, an herbaceous twist, hints of minerality and juicy, naked acidity, elegantly framed by gentle yet youthful, grippy tannins. Positively "natural". — 10 years ago

Pepé le Pinot 2014

Fun filled, juicy but with a nice twist of funk. Lovely fragrance to it. Could drink a lot of it. Delicious — 10 years ago

Bonny Doon Vineyard

Contra Old Vine Field Blend 2011

A medium red with soft tannins and black bramble fruit flavours. In a blind tasting you could be forgiven for thinking it was French due to a rustic twist in the middle of the palate. — 11 years ago

Santa Cristina (Marchesi Antinori)

Capsula Viola Cortona White Blend 2012

I've never had too high an opinion of wines that come in a twist-off bottle (and I still don't) but this one is a nice exception. Fresh and light, it's quickly become one of my favorites on the table. — 12 years ago
