9.0

A smooth and enjoyable Austrian lager from the Stiegl brewery. Nice golden colour with subtle malt and hops with gentle carbonation.

Perfect for watching the English football FA Cup on a wet and windy Sunday.

Michael Mara Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

Great CA Chardonnay. Balanced, not overly oaked, not really buttery. Fresh and delicious lemon, yellow apple, underripe pear. It doesn’t have the electric acidity of the Adank Swiss Chardonnay I just tried, but it’s delicious in its own softer, more subtle way. Speaking of Swiss, I’m using a cup for tonight’s cheese fondue on a snowy night. — 14 days ago

The Chocolate Block Cinsault Blend 2019

Light & fruity with some dark plum, anise & violet, a touch of roast. Fresh.
On the palate this is surprisingly light, juicy & lively. The cinsault really comes into play. Fruity, funky, with light tannins & juicy acidity. Fresh, crunchy fruit, a touch of bubblegum character, a herby note towards the finish.
So drinkable, and a lovely wine. Though might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Southold Farm + Cellar

Cup of Ambition Skin Fermented Albariño

Pale orange/rust, cloudy as you’d expect; tangerine on the nose, with chewy mouthfeel and prominent orange zest on the palate. Moderate finish with lingering orange notes. Good cool-weather food wine, more light-footed than any red. We had it with a great local artisanal sourdough veggie pizza. — 4 years ago

Domaine de la Charbonnière

Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2016

Bought while staying in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the 2016 Cuvée Vieilles Vignes from Domaine de la Charbonniere, a wine based largely on very old Grenache, is a powerhouse wine from this region that demands serious patience. Almost undrinkable on the first night, it performed better on the second having had plenty of air - but still, it’s a colossus of a wine that will doubtless have many fans. I have to admit, not really my cup of tea! — 3 years ago

Cup Red Blend 2016

Es un vino acaramelado. Destaca la madera y la fruta madura. Un vino muy correcto en su precio. Unos 16€ en la bodega. — 3 years ago

3-D Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2018

Fantastic chardonnay from Greg Brewer that is only going to get better and better with more time in the bottle. A perfect match for a spectacular day in Eagle Harbor on Lake Superior…and even better to celebrate Vanessa’s paper being accepted for publication today! 🥳 — 4 years ago
