This thing just tastes like Hawaii. It’s as if you are chewing on a stick of sugar cane that they use as a stir stick in a drink out there. I tried it in a chilled glass which brings out the sugar cane flavors but I think I prefer it warmer. — 5 years ago

Ætneus Etna Rosso Nerello Blend 2015

Your friend comes back from Hawaii and they bring you a lava rock which they’re not supposed to because it’s bad, bad, very bad luck but you always had a thing for risking the superstitious odds and not sending along chain emails, so you’re into this bad luck rock. They also bring you a lei with less flowers than you’ve seen on leis at the dollar store but you put it on and crack your best pseudo smile for them because dammit they love you and they did what they could, short of bringing you on their romantic vacation. Honestly if they did bring you, you know you’d get into one of your “moods” and not only would you be a hard third wheel, you’d also be named the pity party hostess of the year. Cherries, ash, dried flowers, tannic structure like a good skipping stone. — 8 years ago

Mele Ulupalakua Red Blend

Very reminiscent of a California Cab. Rich black fruits, a lot of vanilla and leather. Definitely a good one to bring back from Hawaii for our New Year's Eve tradition dinner 🌺 — 6 months ago

Not too sweet and tastes just like pineapples! Pairs great with poke or Thai food. I was really shocked by how much I liked this wine and I’m not normally a sweet white wine drinker. — 8 years ago

Did you cart these to Hawaii? Always wondered if the trip was too hard on them.

I’ve been taking my wine on vacations now for 10+ years. Not hard on my wines. Also brought wines that weren’t too young or too old. Seems to do the trick.

Tedeschi Vineyard

Maui Blanc Pineapple Wine

Pineapple juice through and through. Malolactic converted sunshine and vanilla glitz in a bottle. Tropical hearts and smiley faces. Like licking an adult pina creamsicle while on pool floaties. Slurp! — 8 years ago

Found this in the odd lots bin at Kadota's Liquor near my old high school in Hilo, Hawaii a few days ago. Freaking delicious! Earthy, cherries, but very high toned for a SB Pinot of this era. Wish I still had some of this in my cellar. Justin was killing it from Day 1. — 8 years ago
