Punta Crena

Vigneto Ca da Rena Riviera Ligure di Ponente Pigato 2016

Super interesting. Pigato is Vermentinos reclusive brother from Liguria. More dense mouth feel but not lacking minerality or balance. A 2016 Kermit Lunch selection has no funk just a really good white with hints of peach and salinity. Paired well with our oysters. Glad I dug this out and finally tried it. Looking forward to the next one in a year to see if he’s still holding up. — 11 days ago

Quinta da Fonte Bela

Paxis Red Blend 2020

The Sangiovese was out so we landed on this one. No regrets. Smells a bit astringent but with lots of vanilla and strawberry. Very fruity, medium bodied. A solid wine, especially for $18 at a restaurant. — 3 months ago

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée da Capo Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Syrah 2020

Hard to properly rate, was not decanted and not open long enough. Deep red & black fruit on the nose. The tannins are quite strong, this still needs time. It’s too young. But a lot of complexity under that. — 2 months ago
