Nice fruit and freshness. I’m not normally a huge Pinot Grigio drinker but this really hit the spot. — 4 years ago
Pian Dell’Orino Vigneti del Versante Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2014: Smooth & elegant. Lively acidity. Medium tannins. Nice cherry bouquet. Red fruits. Leather. Herbs. Earth. Powerful long finish. All in all, I love this Brunello! Call me a creature of habit but this is my happy place. Grilled marinated skirt steak and a bottle of Brunello! Great weekend to all! Cheers🍷 — 5 years ago

Terre di San Leonardo is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (40%), and Carmenere (10%), run by the Gonzaga family since its inception in 1724. Wine is fermented with ambient yeasts in concrete tanks and 20% is aged in French oak barrels. Ruby with aromas ripe red fruits and floral notes. On the palate flavors of rich plum and blackberry with herb, light spice and slight earthy notes. Medium+ finish, fine soft tannins, ending with fruit, floral and earthy mineral character. Tremendous value! — 4 years ago

Dry and unusual moscato. Fresh florals lead on impact and a bone dry finish leaves the palate refreshed. — 8 years ago
Pure beauty and grace. Floral Gamay-like aromatics with damp roses, smoke, red currant, strawberry, tar and wet rocks. The expressiveness of Foradori’s wines is off-the-charts. There is such finesse and aromatic complexity, invigorating acidity on the attack and a gently firm grip on the mid palate. Elegance in spades. I love Foradori! — 8 years ago
Yum, red forest fruits, spice, tea, nice tannins and a long finish, but I don’t think it has reached the 2010 levels — 9 years ago
The 2020 Foscarino displays a beguiling mix of crushed oyster shells, slate, dried pears and lemon oil. It’s round, verging on opulent, with an inner sweetness; saline minerals add a tactile feel. It finishes fresh yet potent. Peach and vanilla custard nuances are punctuated by sour citrus. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2023) — 3 years ago
Been a while since I’ve had this in my glass. Oh how I’ve missed thee! Similar to what I remember about Morei, it carries some nice flesh and roundness to it, seems more open knit. Finessed and elegant, brimming with purity and freshness. Crushed morello cherry, pomegranate, blood orange, juniper, bitter herbs, rocks, licorice root, smoke. I want to say its too young but its energy and refreshing nature make it hard to argue keeping it. — 6 years ago
Gaso is the family vineyard high on the hills of Marano di Valpolicella. Very attractive nose of resin, butterscotch, prune, ripe plum, and cherry. Unusually bright and vibrant palate. Authoritative yet silky tannins. I think I paid $35 for this small production Amarone. A steal. — 8 years ago

It’s alive! Slightly prickling on the tongue. Rife with chillable ways: low gentle tannins, zippy acid, fresh red fruits… a total natty skewing dreamboat. It could wear a manbun and get away with it. — 3 years ago
