Concentrated fruit, soft, and a bit of spice -
Some of the best value CdR out there, sourcing fruit from around Southern Rhône!! Jean Louis Chave expertise at an entry-level price.

This was a young wine but 2022 was a good year: Extreme drought vintage resulted in lower yields and concentrated, freshly acidic wines. — 12 days ago

A perfect Spätburgunder from Baden — the closest a German Pinot Noir has tasted to Burgundy, and an excellent value at ~$40 a bottle.

Classic Pinot noir flavors of cherry, raspberry, and earth. — a month ago

Smokey, honeyed, rich Riesling! Super impressed — and totally divine with Chinese and Thai food — 17 days ago

A dynamic white that out kicks its coverage.

My wine shop said it best: “Ribolla Gialla
Venezia Giulia, Italy
--
100% Ribolla Gialla made in the same process as the Friulano above. These are clean and thoughtfully made wines with nothing added... As Mario puts it: "Some would say that our wines are made by subtraction, and perhaps yes, we like to give a more light and crisp character to what we produce … 'Less is more.'" The Ribolla Gialla is deliciously light and perfect for serving with a a first course- like antipasti (salty nuts, cured ham, and olives).
--
A burst of bitter orange, salty minerality, tangy citrus, clean and dry” — a month ago

Delightful pasta wine — appealed to both the “chilled red” crowd and the piedmont drinkers, especially when you don’t want to break the bank with a barolo or barbaresco — a month ago

Another Dao stunner! We didn’t have a great experience at this restaurant, but the wine certainly slapped. — a month ago
