Fanti
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2010
We had the 2010 Vintage on 10/12/24. This Old World, medium bodied wine has all the ingredients for a real good Brunello. There are tastes of raspberry, strawberry, leather and spice. A nice finish. A reasonably priced wine from an excellent Vintage — a month ago
Château La Creation
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2012
We had the 2012 Vintage on 9/26-27/24. A nice Merlot based wine. Plum, chocolate, cigar box. Tannins smoothed out. Old World style for sure — 2 months ago
Abeja
Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
We had the 2017 Vintage on 11/10-11/24. A real fruit forward, full bodied wine. Boysenberry, plum and spice. More of a Rhone blend than Cab. There were more chocolate notes on the second day — 10 days ago
Azienda Agricola Elvio Cogno
Ravera Barolo Nebbiolo 2015
We had the 2015 Vintage on 10/15-16/24. The tannins were tight and chewy on the first night. They smoothed out on the second. The wine was medium bodied and Old World. There were flavors of black cherry, leather and spice. Not bad for a lesser known name in a 93 rated Vintage — a month ago
Moshin Vineyards
Halo's Hill Pinot Noir 2017
We had the 2017 Vintage on 10/1/24. A real good PN from Moshin. Medium bodied, nice mouth feel. Black cherry and baking spices. Less fruit forward than other Sonoma wines — 2 months ago
Château Beau-Séjour Bécot
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2012
We had the 2012 Vintage on 11/3-4/24. A nice Old World Bordeaux. BlackBerry, plum and spice on the palate. Tannins smoothed out. Full bodied and well balanced. — 17 days ago
Flowers Vineyard & Winery
Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2017

Quinta da Rede
Reserva Branco Douro White Blend 2021
We had the 2021 Vintage on 10/4-6/24. A real good white. A nice mix of Suav Blanc and Chard. Lemon, melon, honey suckle. Well balanced and medium bodied. A mix of three grapes. Went very well with Corvina and then scallops — a month ago
Barnett Vineyards
Rattlesnake Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Not a bad wine, but with a thin mouthfeel and light to medium body, I would have expected more from an expensive wine — 2 months ago
Marc Melser
We had the 2017 Vintage on 11/12-13/24. Tastes of red cherry, strawberry, raspberry and cranberry. Smooth mouthfeel. A little cinnamon on the finish. A real good, fruit forward California PN. We bought this bottle at the winery in 2022. — 7 days ago
