I enjoyed it. Harder to find where I’m located. Opened up to some of the plummy notes I like and tend to look for, more so than your typical st emilion. I’d buy again if the price was right solely because this gives me nostalgia from 2000’s and before pomerols that are my favorite. — 5 years ago

High acidity notes on the nose. No nostalgia of Napa on first smell. However, smooth, silky and jammy on the tongue. Perfect precursor to a perfect night in south beach with the most perfect gift from above “”My Rib” night. I’m so blessed. — 6 years ago

Vietti Barbera was our wedding wine.....therefore, enough said. Delicious entry level Barbera from a legendary, fourth generation Piedmontese wine family. It was fun snagging this to enjoy with family on Labor Day weekend. Nostalgia. Blessed. — 7 years ago

This may be my favorite cab that isn’t aged. There’s definitely some nostalgia as well, but this limited production cab is worth the $. Especially for an anniversary dinner — 8 years ago

Went to Rotisserie Georgette and found a lovely bottle of Francoise et Denis Clair St Aubin. Dinner with Protik Basu, with whom I visited the winery in 2013. Nice example of a Primer Cru St Aubin Blanc. May be giving it a nostalgia boost. — 10 years ago

Austin: It arrives mid bubble on the tongue. - Alex: like massage balls for my nostalgia. I can smell my friends but I can’t see them. - Austin: I’m caught peeping at the maiden amidst her chores and sheepishly avert my eyes. - Alex: I do like pińa coladas and getting caught in the rain, thank you. - Austin: left with no shame only a sweet blush — 6 years ago

Recovering from a horrendous cold that I’m pretty sure I got from walking the streets of Paris last week, I decided to venture out for a “treat yourself” Monday night dinner back in Chicago.

You know that song lyric that goes, “whatever Lola wants, Lola gets”? Well, not in my case. I did want a French wine solely based on nostalgia, but settled on an Italian in a French restaurant.

With one nostril passage opened, I was able to get a very overpowering bouquet of tar (which by the way has been on my bucket list of aromatics to smell- so happy I can cross that off), earth floor, mushrooms, cedar and a bit of menthol.

Tannins are very much soft and nonexistent in this bottle- full bodied with high acidity. Medium garnet color, which was surprising based on the age. I didn’t find this as complex as some Barolos I’ve had in the past, but still found it very enjoyable. On the palate, a very surprising sweet ripeness of red plum that doesn’t linger long on the tongue. Overall- not bad for a Monday. — 7 years ago

This is an amber ale, and fantastically heady and deep... it’s a heavy Anchor!, and it’s ‘Steam’ because that’s what beer brewed in California under rudimentary conditions without ice were called when they started making them... you certainly will feel nostalgia for this grand brew somewhere later in your life once you first enjoy one. Reminiscent of a favorite Newcastle, yet somehow better! — 8 years ago

Just awesome. Jammy fruit, cinnamon, and some kind of nostalgia – like grandma’s clothes. Oh, and licorice! — 8 years ago

Just to be clear, my friend Paul and my husband both HATED this wine. And I think they're totally wrong. This wine is walking home in the rain past neighbors homes and they all have a fire in the fireplace. It's purple-grey and smoky and full of aching nostalgia, eager to get home and warm up in front of the fire. So soft and wet and lush. I wish they tasted what I did. — 10 years ago

Everything about this wine screams uncool in our industry in the present era: high alcohol (14%), heavy extraction, generous use of new oak (presumably), ripe + chewy tannins, flavors that shout rather than whisper and high praise from Robert Parker (cue Elaine or Carlton Banks’ dance moves). Maybe it’s my 90’s nostalgia or maybe I’ve been drinking too much vintage port these days 🤷🏻‍♀️ but it all works beautifully here: intense aromas of licorice, pepper, cedar, black plum, wet tar, dried tobacco, cranberries, cassis, dried violets. And this is only the beginning... A blast of macerated red and black berries on the palate, held together by a solid acid backbone, followed by a long finish laced with black olive, dried tobacco, mocha and mineral. Hedonistic. Three cheers for Alicante Bouschet! — 5 years ago

Indulging in Nostalgia in a bottle with this beer I used to love while studying in Munich a long time ago. It's still delicious! — 6 years ago

This tastes like the wine I started on at age 21, but not as much residual sugar or candy. Tastes like nostalgia!

Four varieties- Zinfandel, Barbera, Grenache and Carignane; no Pinot noir this vintage. Purple red, dense but not inky. Butter, cherry and barrel notes in nose with hints of menthol and barnyard funk. Butter, cherry flavor with length; raspberry, blueberry (and later plum) finish, slightly soapy mouthfeel, almost but not quite hot, citric aftertaste. Good acid, minimal bitterness but lots of tannin sediment (unfiltered). Moderate skin astringency. Needs time to open. Definitely a food wine. Like the old school immigrant-family rustic reds one used to get decades ago in NorCal, but better made, with finesse. And it's got soul, so get your nostalgia on — 8 years ago

Like walking into a Ukrainian grocery store, for me. I love the nose on it. Meaty, like ham and maybe a hint of some aged hard cheeses in there, too. Such nostalgia. — 9 years ago
