San Diego based, with stints in the Rheingau Valley and Burgundy. Wine is good for the soul.
Beautiful Rioja. Layers of red fruit and nice acidity. Super mellow tannins at this age. Doesn’t need much to open up. — 2 months ago
Another light and bright Northern Italian food wine. From the Veneto. Corvina grape. Red fruit and crisp acidity. Perfect quaffer. — 2 months ago
Impressive for such a young CDP. Still trying to wrap my head around a Kirkland signature CDP. But the base line is this - tasting blind I would pair almost any food with this wine, and isn’t that really the point of CDP. — 24 days ago
Beautiful left bank BDX. ‘19 vintage at a nice stage now, opens up quickly. Classic earthy tones on the nose. Nice structure and layers of fruit. Delicious. Perfect with burgundy Tri tip BBQ for Easter. — a month ago
