After trying the 2014 in 🇪🇸 we grabbed this truly unique wine @ €56 from the winery 😁 2015 consistently the similar to 14 😉 but seemed a touch creamier, exotic & dryer 👍 Another White Priorat that white Tondonia & Musar lovers will salivate over 😍

Classic French Bordeaux with a stink on the nose and earthy, fruity on the palate. Amazing for the $12 price tag. Opened this at our recent wine tasting -- the French lovers especially liked this one. — 9 years ago

What's not to love here?!? I love my espresso, love my dark beers, & love my dark red wines. This is delicious, jammy, and full of flavor... Top it all off with a 15% alcohol content. White Zin lovers beware! This is for serious robust wine appreciators. Thank you, Australia!! — 10 years ago

Oak lovers, this Condrieu is for you. 100% new oak but shockingly well integrated. This is the softest and butteriest of the bunch. Personally I maybe wouldn’t choose it but I can think of a good many of my friends who would love it. And it’s not bad for a change! — 7 years ago

Really dark color, pleasant nose of cherry/raspberry follows on to the pallet, with some smokiness and nice acid finish. Certainly can go another couple of years maybe more. Wife called it "Pinot with an attitude" not for burgundy lovers. — 9 years ago

Cuvée Freddy on a sunny Saturday afternoon on the rooftop lounge (of Hotel Metro in Milwaukee, a delightfully cheesy art-deco hotel that we highly recommend) for our anniversary! First Grand Cru Alsace Riesling and oh boy, for Riesling lovers like us it still totally delivered and then some. Such concentration and complexity of flavor. This has that classic Trimbach juxtaposition that I love where the laser beam acidity and bone-dryness of this wine coexists with such rich texture and a relatively full body. Meyer lemon, orange zest, a bit of underripe stone fruit, a truckload of crushed slate, a bit of the classic petrol character, a slightly honeyed/beeswaxy note, and has a bit of a bergamot citrus tea note that I'm sure will further reveal itself with more time in the cellar. Really amazing stuff. Still very young, the lightning bolt of acidity in this bottle is doing its job as a preservative as it should, this has a long life ahead of it and I probably drank it a bit too soon to be honest, but it was just absolutely splendid nonetheless. — 10 years ago

Sanlúcar de Barrameda was the port that Christopher Columbus set off from in 1492. Just 1 year earlier, duties on wine exports from Sanlúcar had been abolished to take advantage of English merchants desperate for new supply after the loss of Bordeaux.

It began a centuries-long romance between Sherry and English wine lovers, as immortalized in Shakespeare's Henry IV Part 2, when Falstaff glorifies sturdy Spanish 'sack' over thin Bordeaux 'claret' and Rhine 'hock'.

But the honeymoon, quite literally, was not to last. Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragon drove a wedge between England and Catholic Europe, and left English wine lovers in need of a new source once again. But Sherry fanatics wouldn't have to go entirely without. When Sir Francis Drake sailed into Cádiz and burned the Spanish fleet in 1587, he carried away 2,900 butts of Sherry - enough to supply London for years - as his most famous prize.

So young of a wine, but in perfect state. A faint powdery floral notes on the nose and a tight pucker on the tongue. This will go great for the dry wine lovers. — 7 years ago

Ok-definitely for you "earthy" wine lovers. The nose opens with brazen notes of rich earth, smoke and leather. Those characters follow through on the palate, but dark, ripe fruit joins the party, and finishes with supple tannins and a hint of smoke. Lots to love, especially at this price point. I plan on stocking up! — 10 years ago
