The somm at Spago Las Vegas recommended this to go with poached halibut. Nice choice. Minerally, not oaky. A bit of citrus “surprise”. — 3 months ago

Very nice choice by the Sommelier at Pastis in Nashville to pair with both grilled Branzino and Boeuf Bourguignon. (I know.). Bright, a bit astringent, fruit forward, with some structure but not too much. — 5 months ago

We hosted friends and wanted something to pair with herb crusted beef tenderloin. Our friends are fond of Italian and French reds. We had two bottles of Far Niente Napa Valley Cab (2019 vintage); decided to go with that. Our friends were very pleased, pronounced it smooth and ready to drink. — a month ago

We brought this to a Memorial Day cookout (burgers, dogs, potato salad, beans), and after letting it sit for a few minutes, it hit the spot. Not complex, not bland—just right. (And I forgot about the screw top!) — 3 months ago

At Jack Fry’s in Louisville, challenged to pair wine with salmon, pork, and gnocchi. This worked well. “Soft” according to one friend. — 4 months ago
