Lecinquevigne Barolo Nebbiolo 2016

Parking Lot - Trader Joe’s 30$ Barolo. 14.5%. Tasted on the spot! With the mini snack cups from T.G. Brownish tinge, tealeaves and quite tart. Lacks classic Barolo flavors - will pass up on this one. Sad 😞 - Great vintage how can anyone screw this up? Might this needs hours of air and or a proper glass? Will add to these notes - in 3 hours. May be i am wrong? — 13 days ago

Great idea but should have paired with samples of Trader Giotto’s meatballs or gnocchi

Bummer. Will hafta See if I can score a bottle from the local TJ's to see if notes are consistent. This version usually pretty workmanlike and in the 9.1-9.2 zone.

Columbia Valley Cinsaut Rosé 2013

Pleasantly surprised at this one. Still had lots of flavor for the vintage. Nice acidity and went really well with the pasta we had for dinner. Really nice wine for the price point from a newer (at the time) winery. — 2 years ago

La Monde Columbia Valley Malbec 2019

vanilla and blackberry on the nose.

Smooth and balanced on the palate. Initial hit of acid and ripe fruit gives way to a bit of green pepper before finishing with hints of ripe plums.

'Ma Belle-Fille' Chardonnay 2015

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three days. Best of Day 3. The 2015 “Ma Belle-Fille” pours a light gold color with medium+ viscosity. On the nose, developing with notes of fruit cups (the ones with pineapples and peaches), lemon bars, honeysuckle, and cashews. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and buttery but integrates better by Day 3. Leesy. The alcohol is medium+. For my palate, this was tough to love the first couple days as it lacked balance. By Day 3 however, it was quite becoming. Still a baby at 9 years. Drink with immense patience or better yet, after 2028 and through 2035 easy. — 5 months ago

Pessimist Paso Robles Red Blend 2021

Bought at Kauai Costco today…tag said 93 rating by one of the big raters. I wouldn’t score it that high at a food truck place in Koloa town. Drank out of cardboard coffee cups. If I had my nice stemware it probably would have scored higher. Under $20. It was OK to open our bottle at the dining tables. No adult beverages sold at any of the 3 food trucks. — 2 years ago

Becco Rosso Grasparossa di Castelvetro Lambrusco 2019

Dry, slight fruit, more tannin and fizz than expected. Paired well with dark chocolate peanut butter cups. This is a crushable bottle on a warm day! — 4 years ago
