A brawny and pleasant Dolcetto — black fruit forward with hints of anise and an unusually tannic bite. — a month ago

A bit much. Not elegant but super intense and almost seemed young. Only 13% but felt like more. — 2 months ago

Oh wow, this is #valpolicellaripasso is lovely, bolt of cassis, bramble fruit and just this really faint undertone of peppery spice. Though this is Ripasso it’s very lithe on the palate - not weighty at all, fleshy acidity and that subtle peppery spice on the finish. This bottle will disappear fast, with or without a meal pairing. #corvina — 6 months ago

Tonight, we’re exploring a gorgeous white wine from Thermenregion, situated near Vienna, in Niederosterreich, Austria. 🇦🇹

It’s made from the indigenous variety – Zierfandler – which we’d never tried before and were super excited to taste.  Now that we have, we can confirm it is stunning! 😍😍

👀 This wine is medium lemon. 👃🏻 On the nose are medium (+) intensity aromas of honeydew, ripe white peach, apricot, pear, white cherry, lemon and lime peel, white blossom, tarragon, chervil, wet slate, cardamom, honeycomb, and cream.

👄 On the palate this wine is dry with the tiniest hint of residual sugar, lending a honeyed characteristic. It has medium alcohol (13.5% ABV), a medium(+) body, and medium(+) acidity with medium(+) intensity of flavors consistent with the nose. It has a persistent finish and a rich, textured mouthfeel that reminds us of a Viognier.

We paired this wine with a creamy herb 🌿 capellini pasta, sautéed shrimp, asparagus, and cherry tomatoes. It went deliciously!! 😚💫

Cheers to exploring new wines from new regions and finding some real treasures along the way! 🥂🥂

Needs air at this young age but quickly hits its stride. Really fragrant, with zesty, ripe berries, spice, a yeasty, fresh bread note, and mineral-flecked turned gravel. Loads of upfront fruit, but in a dry package with zingy acids. Slight bitter note complements the fruit. So pure tasting and food flexible. Textbook. — 2 years ago
