A little bigger than I would hope for from a Cab Franc but delightful nonetheless. — 15 hours ago

Cascina Dardi-Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2016

A Barolo for the yearners. Myself I had high expectations for this drop. Here's a small descriptor- the flavors are commending & perfectly respectable ,alas slightly cloying. — 18 hours ago

Nice. 2016 was an ideal year for Barolo.

Definitely better on 2nd day. Hopefully the 3rd day will be a charm!

Sicilia Carricante 2023

This is an oddball from the Gaia team and quite $$$. The half empty wine- bottle gained weight and flavor in my fridge door over a full week. Touch bitter, apricot, stone fruits, still very fresh and alive, citrus notes, touch honey 🍯 and some sprinkles of nuttiness. I wonder how this will evolve over the next five to ten years? It certainly has the stuffing to do so - kind of a sleeper wine. Given its evolution in the fridge, (shaken but not stirred à la James Bond). — 2 days ago

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2021

Raspberry, roses & tar on the nose, grippy tannins and a slight meatiness on the palate. Fruit is present but ever so slightly lacking for me, I wish it translated from the nose to the palate just a touch more. Overall very nice and enjoyable! — 2 days ago

Ripassa Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Corvina Blend 2020

After pressing dried grapes from making Amarone, Valpolicella wine is passed over the still warm skins of Amarone for 2nd alcoholic fermentation, increasing the alcoholic content, aromas and color. Blend of 85% Corvina, 10% Rondinella, 5% Oseleta. Deep Ruby with aromas of sweet dried berry fruits and pepper spice. On the palate ripe blackberry, currants and sweet cherry with complex spice. Well balanced with acidity and alcohol, full-body with soft tannins on long finish. Nice value. — 2 days ago

Needed 24 hours. Was a mess last night. Put a cork back in it and was the right call. Glorious aromas of spice, roses and damp earth. Palate is silky and ethereal. Gorgeous texture, freshness and so supple. — 2 days ago

Domaine Hubert Lignier

Tres Girard Morey St. Denis Pinot Noir 2016

Last had 2 years ago and the extra time has been good to this. Really a lovely burgundy with some rotisserie chicken on the first snowy day of the season in New York. Red fruit, light earth, and minerality all in balance and expressing very nicely. Finishes with good acid and a real lift. Delicious. — 2 days ago
