Wine biz in NYC in 80s. Sucked at sales. Since 1990, a lawyer. But still love wine!
@Delectable Wine - This is the Santenay Blanc. New oak leads on the nose, with really nice ripe apple, verging into each, fruit and some Burgundian gravel. On the palate, the wine has a nice soft mouthfeel and reasonably complex flavors, maybe tilting a bit too much on the oaky side if I were to quibble. — a day ago
A vigorous young Chianti Classico. Intense and a little peppery from the alcohol. Nice accompaniment to pasta with a rich meat sauce. — 2 days ago
A Cabernet Merlot Montepulciano blend. Dark and peppery! (Big party, so no detailed notes.) — a day ago
Prior notes still apply. Fresh, spritely. — a day ago
Once again, @Delectable Wine , this is the Single Vineyard - Nieve Barbaresco. Still pretty tight. Cherry, earth on the nose. Full, structured. Could use a couple more years, but great with a rich meat sauce now. — 2 days ago
Very ripe, pungent wild berries and cherry pipe tobacco on the nose (remember Borkum Riff?). Tart and a little chalky on entry. The finish is fairly clean. Light bodied. I have no idea what this is supposed to be but it’s definitely a palate freshening type of wine. — a day ago
Nice middle of the road Bourgogne Rouge. Fair amount of character for its pedigree. — a day ago
Delicious! — 2 days ago
This was intense and so suffused with minerality I think it actually weighed more than regular wine! (Just kidding, but it was intensely mineral.) only note that I thought detracted was the slight beginnings of premox. — 2 days ago

Quite nice. See prior notes from a couple of months ago. (Sorry, big party.) — a day ago
