A very pleasant Nebbiolo. Raspberries bouquet. Went very well with white truffles! 2011 — 7 years ago
I still remember the very 1st Champagne visit I had 12yrs ago with Pierre, it's so great to come full circle. This is rich, but balanced, a great apple tarte tartin quality to it when opened, so showed development, but being VV it's understandable. After being open for an hour everything came alive, white florals, beautiful minerality. Outstanding wine. — 8 years ago
Boom! Sweet but not in a way that makes it sickly. Very berry and smooth 🤤 — 8 years ago
Tasty, but too young. Still a bit disjointed and the oak stuck out. Not really knocking it, as I knew I shouldn't be touching a 2010 yet. Hope to try it again in a few years. That being said, I do think the gevrey VV is a step above. — 8 years ago

Excellent Italian white from Piedmont. Fresh pineapple and lime up front with a clean mineral finish — 10 years ago
I did not get to taste this but my brother and meadows got to. This is part of a series of wines i have had the honor of drinking and were shared with my family, they have ended up on the mantle piece. Many more are missing but i wanted to create an archive... This is not being posted to make anyone jealous. I'm just part of a wine family and of course many friends share some precious gems with us. — 11 years ago
Quite a nice Barbaresco, and more accessible at this age than expected. Tannins are very much there but not grippy to the point of overwhelming. Deep earth and dark red fruit. Soft acid on the finish. Nice. — 8 years ago
Big cab franc. Showing big fruit with enough herbaceousness to balance it out. May take a couple years to bloom but drinks great now — 8 years ago
Light yellow, acidic with a mild pepper finish. Good with fontina, toma, or a creamy goat cheese with pesto (especially the latter) on a warm summer day. — 9 years ago
Quite sweet, but not syrupy. A great dessert pairing with berries, but still enough effervescence to cut through dense fatty chocolate or other rich desserts. Dessert in a glass for me! — 9 years ago
In a great place right now. Bitter chocolate, dark cherry, a little tarry. Best window is probably in next few years — 10 years ago
Lovely. From Lorenzo's home region. With Adrienne & Mike. — 11 years ago
Wow. A dusty primitive with Riesling like fruit acid. Tons of pairing potential. — 12 years ago
Amazing fresh fruit with violets, punchy red fruit with a lifted cherry quality. Very supple and dynamic with zesty delicious fruit. Excellent — 7 years ago
I've always liked Vietti's labels and the Barbera d'Asti Tre Vigne is a delightful departure from their usual illustrations from nature. Unlike the label art of a mask, and indeed of the mask from the El Gato Chimney painting behind, nothing is being hidden here. Overt and plummy and floral too, this 2010 reminds me why I love the vintage and how Barbera with a bit of age can be an utter delight. — 7 years ago
Fig, butterscotch, banana, cognac & alcohol dominate the nose. This wine is a monster. So intense and vibrant. Like it could not wait to be freed from the bottle. Nice tannins and acid. Flavors of biscuit, rhubarb & ripened light fruit. This wine makes you happy to love wine. Very fortunate to come across this bottle. 2006 vintage

Great bottle showing its age well. Preserved lemon, ripe melon, marshmallow, apple blossoms, hazelnut, damp earth, oyster shell, minerals, tea leaf. There's a caramelized honey element to the wine. Acidity is still fresh and vibrant. Great example of Muscadet with age. Similar aromas and flavors of aged chablis/BdB Champagne — 9 years ago
Bought this on a trip to Napa. Had not heard of the vineyard previous to our visit, but was impressed at our tasting. Really nice ripe round fruit, balanced body. Not inexpensive, but a worthy spurge — 9 years ago
Great drinking wine for summer. Nice and light with a crisp finish - excellent dry rose. #thesecretwineclub #loirevalley — 10 years ago
What a value. Deep, smokey red fruit. Supple texture. — 11 years ago
