Fizzy and fun, and not too sweet—a fine food sparkler! Enjoyed this bottle at Ristorante Antica Sacrestia in Venice, Italy on Valentine’s Day with Dreama and our friends Claudia and Gary. Buon apetito! — 2 months ago
A delightful, balanced Riesling with two decades of age. Sweet perfume of stone fruits and flowers, with a hint of sought after petrol. Amazing that such an age-worthy white is so reasonably priced. 10.5% ABV. Enjoyed the 2006 vintage with a lovely Chicken Francese from Vittorio’s in Pacific Palisades. — 3 months ago
Enjoyed St. John’s Cremant at St. John’s Restaurant in London, with Dreama, Rachel, Avi and Emily, during our trip to attend Emily’s graduation from Cambridge. Crisp and bubbly, citrusy without being too sour, delightful with Roast Middle White. Gaudeamus igitur! — 5 days ago
Nicely balanced, easy drinking, not oversweeet, minerals and fruit on the nose (no detectable petrol, alas), a fine food wine to pair with Asian and spicy dishes. Enjoyed the 2022 vintage with Dreama at Night + Market Sahm in Venice, CA. We will be in Venice, Italy in mere days! — 2 months ago
Fun and approachable honey wine that avoids cloying sweetness. Not overly complex but doesn’t need to be. Nice accompaniment to the Ethiopian food we had at Meals by Genet in Los Angeles. I’d order it again. — 4 months ago
Belgian fruitiness on the nose, pleasantly creamy head, medium bodied with a complex balance of sweet, bitter and fizz. Nice, dry finish. Great with spicy and fried food. — 20 days ago

Soft, approachable tannins with deep, dark fruit—a very quaffable Cab we have here. Very nice everyday red. Simple but good. Priced well too. — 3 months ago
Spanish Sidra and French White Grenache had a funky love child! Cloudy, fermented, a bit fizzy and a lot of fun. Excellent food wine. My wife and I enjoyed this rustic beauty at the Pizzana/Truly Pizza collab in Marina del Rey. 2023 vintage. Salud! — 5 months ago

Perfumed, complex and beguiling. Golden syrup, toffee and nuts, citrus, raisins, Christmas candy—what a symphony! A glass of this delight was how I ended my recent nose-to-tail dinner at St. John Restaurant in Smithfield, London. — 13 hours ago
