Very rounded Etna white but still lava rock & white flowers, dry white peach. Perhaps less Etna typical for whites I’m used to from there- ie, pin prick acidity etc — 2 days ago

Tropics wine continued: at a San Juan natural wine restaurant. Cheverny maker. Tangerine peel, almond paste, semi ripe mango notes; rounded palate & quite good overall. — 17 days ago

I adore this woman maker in the Dolomites, but my friends felt this white blend too suave for the setting (San Juan, PR) — 18 days ago

If I could shower love on one varietal that doesn’t get enough love it would be this Aglianico. Dark small currants, blackberries & black plum on palate; smoke & camphor on nose. Pitch perfect balance between freshness & power, which I think is Aglianico ‘s great balancing act. Sweet drinking window now but this has legs too—-oh, & price is an absurd 30$ for this quality of wine & winemaking. — 7 days ago

Tropics wine (cont): supermarket wine, hard to believe I was the last Delectable reviewer. Less purple than memory serves, & rather constrained given the Ribera source — 16 days ago

Our server knew we were risk takers but this may have been one risk too far. Canary Isle red which was way way too weird: medicinal, paint thinner, tree bark, baked tomatoes. At times easy to wonder if a bad bottle. Other times just odd, & most definitely the oddest Canary red I’ve ever had. Had at a San Juan, PR restaurant — 18 days ago

Tropics wine (cont): Viognier/ Rueda blend that works better than it sounds. Some complexity too. — 15 days ago

Tropics wine (cont): San Juan natural wine restaurant- gamay blend from Cheverny maker. Like its white blend counterpart, vital & fresh if not uncomplicated — 17 days ago
