A wonderful story, a fantastic wine, a true achievement. ZD's solera style wine. The depth and complexity is not missed in this wine. 24 years of blending. Very cool. — 9 years ago

Very impressed with this lesser known white wine. This Pecorino shows fleshy ripe fruit, a note of toasted pine nut with a clean long finish that only begs for more. — 9 years ago

9.1

Of the Gavi that I have tried this continues to be the standard bearer. Barrel aged in neutral oak makes for a robust Cortese experience. — 9 years ago

Bright and fresh with a lovely creamy character. A hand sell but certainly worth it. — 9 years ago

This is an exceptional wine. A dry Sauternes, wow. The complexity you would expect without the viscosity or RS. Very pretty drink. A must have for the Bordeaux collector. — 9 years ago

Pinot Grigio be damed. Italy has so much more to offer. This Verdicchio superiore is a fantastic drink. White flowers, med acidity and a sense of pone nuts and parmigiano reggiano. Such an easy drink it should be a sin not to. — 9 years ago

Cuvelier Los Andes

Grand Vin Red Blend 2009

A wonderful Bordeaux blend from Argentina. Firm tannins and good balance of fruit with a strong showing of alcohol makes this old world blend a new world treat. — 9 years ago

Maison Saint Aix

Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence Rosé Blend 2015

9.3

This is a solid drink with a firm backbone. Good acidity, noted but delicate tannin with a more complexed body than its cotes brethren. Perfect for the person who says they only drink reds but is willing to dabble in the pale. — 9 years ago

9.2

Perhaps it was the company of the wine maker Randall Grahm or maybe it was just really good wine. Either way this is a Grenache NOT to be missed. Supple, elegant, complexed an evolution on the palate from front to back. — 9 years ago
