VA, dusty forest floor, fresh red cherry and raspberry, cherry liqueur, purple flower - lavender, red prune, just ripe fig, hefty nose of fresh rosemary, blackberry. Elevated acidity, fine pulverized integrated smooth medium tannins, crushed stone, dried red cherry, dried tomato, dried rose petal. Long lingering finish on the tomato leaf notes. This is what was paired with Grilled Lamb at Lazy Bear when we went late Aug 2022.

Yes we are at the #1 restaurant in the country according to James Beard drinking the best Lebanese wine. Unfiltered beauty. Dirty barnyard nose tart cherries and bbq’d meat perfect acidity. Celebrating my 10th anniversary with our friends from Gallo! What a treat. This is still a 🍼 👶 baby. Yes Nirvana!!

Delicious Musar. Good fruit and earth on the nose and palate. For a 24 year old wine, just starting to come into its own; best to let it rest for another 5-10 years before you start opening bottles from your cellar. Enjoyed at the Mary Attea (formerly of Anisa, now at Musket Room) pop-up at Niche Niche. Served with the duck and the chocolate and almond dessert (before having the Sherry served with the almonds).
