Whiz Bang

Domaine Auvigue

Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay 2020

Used this to make sea scallop risotto. Bang on chard without too much butter or too much mineral. — 2 years ago

Joel Gott Wines

815 California Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Great bang for the buck! Whiffs of Great Grandma's sofa and a smooth plumby finish. Very easy to drink without being too light. Just might become part of the weekly rotation! — 4 years ago

Bodegas Muga

Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2015

Powerful but balanced; fruit, minerals, and oak. Decanted, waiting to see how it evolves but definitely a bang for your buck — 5 years ago

Muga has been so up and down for us through the years. Amazing in some, disappointing in others.

Clos Mogador

Priorat Red Blend 2013

The 2001 Clos Mogador was stunning aged drank in 2017 but this 2013 @ £65, now £80-£100 as a 98 Parker pointer, has massive potential 😁 Beautiful now but give this 10+yrs & you have a fab priced 98+ point wine in the making 😍 28k bottles so buy if you can 👍

📍 Clos Mogador 2013

🏵 97 points w/ 99+ potential I’d say

🍇 49% Grenache, 25% Carignan, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon & 16% Syrah 😍

🍷 Opaque deep ruby w/ purple hue

👃 Rich mocha infused spiced dark cherry/berry bang w/ minerals, pencil lead, herbs, soggy earth, raspberry coulis, hint of prune, soft smoked oak & crushed violets

Albe Barolo Nebbiolo 2016

Very succulent Nebbiolo with the tell tale crushed violets and leather notes. Beautiful and restrained fruit balanced with great acidity. This is top notch stuff that sells for a song. Probably the best Barolo bang for the buck I know. This very drinkable now but will take many years on the cellar and benefit from it. Grab what you can ! — 4 years ago

Farnese

Fantini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2017

Cranberry, raspberry, oak, and spice with grippy tannins in the finish. Nothing complex or nuanced, but tremendous bang for the buck. — 5 years ago
