Recuerdo
La Rioja Torrontés 2013
This Argentine white grape is my new obsession. So much musky goodness in the nose accompanied by notes of beeswax, hawthorn (a subtle white flower that's addictive), and peach. Lime on the palate with elegant structure and crisp finish. I am giving this an 8.5 only bc there are nicer ones from Salta but where else can you find a beautiful wine like this for (gasp) under ten bucks?! — 9 years ago

Anjou Chenin Blanc 2011
A lovely wine that expresses the funk and character of Chenin. Fairly intense floral, apple-y, honeycomb, and hay aromas apparent in the bouquet. These came through in the palate after about an hour. Finish was round--a touch alcoholic as it was served to us a bit warm. But once cooled it felt perfectly balanced. A great food wine. Think fish and mushrooms. — 10 years ago
Familia Zuccardi
Serie A Valle de Uco Malbec
Some intriguing black fruit and funk on the nose here. The palate is tannic and tart--a little young still so mostly inaccessible flavours. But it was the least of evils on this wine by the glass menu. I was happy to find something somewhat earthy for my Gruyere and mushroom decked burger. — 9 years ago
Bodegas Ramón Bilbao
Valiñas Rías Baixas Albariño 2012
A really nice salinity in the bouquet in this one; you can smell the cliffs of Galicia as well as some characteristic white peach. Full-bodied with a crisp finish. Went great with my burrata. — 9 years ago
Bricco Mondalino (Gaudio)
Dolce Stil Novo Malvasia Nera
A sparkling red dessert wine made from Malvasia Rosso. Incredible. It picked up all the complexity of our gingerbread/chocolate dessert (which was dressed in mulled red wine) but the bead and acidity left the palate cleansed and ready for the next bite. Think sparkling faded rose sorbet. YUM — 10 years ago

After a decade of stalking this man’s chasselas I was so thrilled to see he does a crémant. Musk, white peach, honey, and funk on the nose and palate, crisp with a long mineral and earthy finish. What’s not to love? At $27 I am really going to be skipping the champers and reaching for this more often. — 8 years ago
