Lover of: all things light, minerally, & red; in search of the perfect Chenin blanc, cru Beaujolais, mountain Nebbiolo, & varietals unknown.
Very smooth Barbera w heft. Well made. — 2 months ago
Produced in an ‘older’ style of langhe Nebbiolo, which includes intentional frizzante. Black & red currants, boysenberry notes. A light hearted, open face sandwich of a wine that doesn’t take itself too seriously & by god brings a smile. — 2 months ago
Barbera done right, despite the 14.5% abv (yikes)- farmers wine that has more elegance than most. Jet blue black color, wild blackberries, black cherry compote, with a firm but biting palate—air, as always, yolks the substantial palate together. — 9 days ago
Substantial yet ethereal, minerality radiates out like a fan, & the notes- apricot pit, white asparagus, red apple skin- feel balanced against that Lauer acidic cut. Serious juice. — a month ago
Nothing petite, quality Chablis, ethereal even. — 2 months ago
A mystery I’ve never understood: why Aglianico ( in all its interpretations) does not get more love. Or perhaps I’m simply outside of the ring of knowledge. Regardless, this bottle has the characteristic black ink color, blackberry & black cherry notes, & freshness which I cherish in Aglianico. Never goopy. If I had to say, more medium bodied than not . Oh, & way under 20$- that’s criminal. — 2 months ago


Crunchy new wave Rhone but don’t let the bright tone fool— with air it fills out substantially. Slightly Underripe red cherries, pomegranate seeds, cola. A golden labradoodle of a Rhone. — 13 days ago
I adore this producer & their Sauvignon Blanc- this has an elegance & lightness of touch elevating the varietal. — a month ago
Quite a bit of complexity in all its pear skin, lemon curd, & apple notes. Alluring in it’s fruitiness, surprisingly for me. Kicked off meal w friends, & a hit. — 2 months ago
Peter Sultan
Unfortified Pedro Jiménez matured under flor. Still wine for sherry heads. Round, yeasty & broad minus the bite of spirits. — 7 days ago
