Shockingly good Oregon Albariño. A Meyer lemon rind kind of thing going on, but there’s structure & some heft here too. Distinct mid palate & length too. Whoa. Normally around 18$ but found for about 10, which is part of the shock. — 11 days ago

Sweet Chenin, end of meal. Quince, dried mango, star fruit notes but all restrained & elegant. I won’t say poor man’s Yquem but well made Chenin Blanc in the sweet style really hits it for me. And not so hard in the wallet especially. — 19 days ago

Blander & broader than hoped for, with the very substantial asterisk that my senses may have been stun-gunned by the recent pollen cloud enveloping the area. — 24 days ago

A mammoth, chiseled beast of a wine that really needs extensive decanting and/or aging. Despite a modest decant, imagine am tasting a tease of its true potential. — 17 days ago

Probably the richest Manzanilla I’ve ever had. From Valdespino house, single vintage! And in a reisling style bottle. Evocative nose w such strong notes of sea spray, hearts of palm, star fruit; palate is notably broad & intensely long, w same aroma notes repeated on palate along with all kinds of complex layers of Brazil nuts & oxidized white fruits. Tasted blind friend thought Jura at first. Just absolutely marvelous & am kicking myself for not buying more, though a seriously limited production. Just wow. Perhaps tasting was influenced by a giddy Knicks win but ain’t that the fun…. — 24 days ago

Note to self: should be my house red. Catnip for black cherry/ dark fruit junkies like me. — 24 days ago

My last bottle from this vintage. So pretty, has some depth despite its light tannin foundation, though it seems a bit less focused & concentrated since my last tasting. On the downward slope? — 17 days ago

Just very nice Sauvignon Blanc done right, veers more towards a very good Alsatian Pinot Blanc & definitely away from NZ sb. Always impressed w this makers entry & estate level bottlings. — 24 days ago

Have not tired of this recent Austrian find. A ‘natural’ wine but enough old world Chardonnay stuffing to let me ignore the label. — 24 days ago

Whisper of a Rose but Im a fan of the Mary Taylor lineup. Surprisingly complex w some savory notes too — 24 days ago
