Riserva Vigna Regina Sassella Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2017

At Pesach so glassware was hit and miss. Lots of miss.
This is consistently a marvel of high altitude, no toast(steamed)barrel, various wood Nebbiolo.
After 10-15 mins open the nose is like the most intense, ethereal fraises de bois. Intermingled with fine rocks and wood. Bright!
On the palate, it’s redolent of high altitude tiny berries, transparent and lively, gripping your lower front gums with a hint of licorice.
The only issue may be finding the generosity to share it.

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend

This is for the 2021 vintage, perhaps some of the negative reviews are for other years. I found this Chianti to be quite delicious with pleasant dried Cherry aromas and taste. Is it the best Chianti ever? No. But it is pleasant and I will buy it again at this reasonable price! — 2 years ago

Bianca Regina Vendemmia Tardiva Colli Piacentini DOC Malvasia di Candia 2014

Very old white wine. Golden hue. Smells a bit like golden delicious apples, Bartlett pear, honey and sweetened lemon. Flavors are hint oxidized, but still tart and bright. Plenty of citrus. Lots of tannin. This is adventurous and delicious white. Wonder what it was like closer to 2014. At this stage it’s a bit like my favorite kind of Chardonnay. Smooth and round, but zippy too. — 9 months ago

Oakwild Ranch Winery

Toboni Pommard Clone Regina Rose Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

Light reddish in color with a brick hue.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Showing red fruits with light oak notes, tobacco, chocolates and black pepper.

I had it 2 years ago and it is drinking better now. Nice and elegant. Spicy and interesting.

This 6 year old is still drinking very nicely, although will not last long, so drink up.

Nicely balanced with nice complexity. Fruit forward and engaging.

Good right out of the bottle and better after 30 minutes of airtime.

100% Pinot Noir grapes from a Single Vineyard, were aged in (30% new) oak barrels. A small production of only 1,100 bottles.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$45.
