Gaudium Gran Vino Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2019

2019 vintage. A bit richer than expected. Slightly less grip than anticipated. This is a great wine “cheat code” for Spain and Rioja. Showing nicely now. 11.20.24. — 7 months ago

@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego I really dig your reviews. Love your turn of phrase and prose that comes at describing wine from a different angle. Really connects. Keep it coming! Also, your Delectable handle begs to be looked up. Found your video with HospitaliTV - just finished. I really enjoyed your thoughts on half bottles and customer approach. Wish we lived even close to San Diego, but if we ever visit we’ll be sure to stop into Mister A’s. Cheers!

D 66 Côtes Catalanes Grenache Blend 2009

As one can expect for a Dave Phinney wine, this is rich and ripe, but it has so much more to offer at year 14. Blueberry, fig, tobacco, cracked pepper, dried mushroom, and slight hint of barnyard. On the palate it’s juicy yet soft and ultra smooth. The finish is long, candied, and earthy.
My 2nd and last bottle. At its peak.

Reserva Privada Valle de Guadalupe Vino Tinto Nebbiolo 2016

This Mexican red wine certainly feels earthy and fruity like other Valle de Guadalupe wines I have had. This wine, though comes from the Italian grape Nebbiolo, doesn’t really have the sharpness (full tannins) most Italian wines have and most often need a food pairing. This wine because it’s light, smooth and almost Zin-like without being overly sweet. — 5 years ago

Fiorano (Boncompagni Ludovisi)

Principe di Venosa Vino da Tavola White Blend

Botte 47. Phenomenally complex and constantly evolving. Initially savory with some animal fur, toasty honey (aged semillon) notes, slight star fruit. Then it evolved into dried flowers, mushroom, and dark fruit - reminded me of a young Barolo. Then black tea, green tea. Then strong dried spearmint, honeyed toasty complexity like the '81 Lopez de Heredia. Medium bodied with slightly elevated sparkling acidity. Not intense, but persistent on the palate. To borrow a phrase from Veronelli- It burrowed into my memory. I hope it made me forever better. — 9 years ago
