Saturday, February 7, 2015. Tre Bicchieri 2015 in NYC! Hello everyone. There was a major wine tasting event last night (February 5th) in New York City- Tre Bicchieri 2015. The Gambero Rosso Italian Wine Guide is the most comprehensive review of the Italian wine market- a team of 70 tasters tried 45 thousand wines in over 5 months this year! 2013 Agostino Vicentini Soave Superiore Casale (Veneto). That would obviously come from some unique wild yeasts. This whole flavor profile, as out of control as i...

Tuesday, June 23, 2009. 2006 Muscadet Coteaux de la Loire (Sur Lie) Lieu-dit Les Grand Vignes. Medium gold; aromas of ripe melon with a flinty characteristic, some white peach and fresh apricot;. Perfumed, elegant, balanced, and refined for a Muscadet (must be the great pedigree: favorable, Grand-Cru like single vineyards, old vines, etc.). Complex with great finesse. At $13 floor*, this would be my "summer wine" by the case! Labels: summer white wine tasting notes. Sunday, June 21, 2009. Pale gold. ...

Saturday, October 24, 2009. Two 1990 Ceretto Barolos- The Test Of Time. Over the years, one of my favorite Barolo producers has been the Ceretto estate- "old school" Nebbiolo crafters. I have had the pleasure of experiencing their 1978. 1979, and 1982 vintages from various vineyards (please see this succinct description. Even looking at my previous 2001 notes. So now, these wines were just under 20 years old. I will now write up my tasting notes from both periods:. Smoky, peppery fruit (mature). Tobacco,...

Thursday, May 26, 2011. Vieilles Vignes Part 2: The Wines. These 2 examples of "old vine" wines embody the descriptives in my previous post:. 2008 Gerard Tremblay Chablis Vieilles Vignes. Medium gold. Fragrant lemon/lime scent, with "wet limestones" (mineral presence) with a smoky element.Deep, vibrant fruit profile (with some pineapple and other tropical fruits) intermingled with complex mineral flavors. Long finish (especially for a young white wine). 2009 Domaine Mardon Quincy Tres Vieilles Vignes.

Saturday, July 11, 2009. An Old Favorite- Under weird circumstances. Red grape= Nero d'Avola (90%). 2003 (yes there is a story behind this old vintage). Colosi Dry Red Wine. Deep brick red- still clear to pale rim. Blockbuster aromas of dried fruit (ripe), tar, tobacco,light spices, cherry. Stewed fruits, but still vibrant with cherries and wild game components. Now here's the story-. And yet. it still SURVIVED! Even in the worst storage conditions and beyond it's expected "shelf life". Please let me know.

Saturday, January 1, 2011. Favorite TJ Pinot Noir. at the moment. So after the past entries you've read (and knowing that I am very partial to PNs that exhibit Burgundian characteristics). here is my most current observation:. I had been extremely impressed with the "VintJS" offering last year (2009 into 2010)*(please see my previous posting)*. So here comes my best recommendation from their existing stock:. Hahn Winery 2009 Pinot Noir Monterey. Fresh, ripe fruit with a "soil" component (along with tobac...

Tuesday, December 21, 2010. Trader Joe's NYC revisited. 2 Cali Cab Bargains-. 2008 "Trader Joe's" Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon- purple/ruby color with pale rim; nose filled with ripe blueberry/cherry fruit, with eucalyptus/alcohol element, some tar; very smooth on the palate- fruit forward with slight tannic acid and fresh herbs, currant (jam preserves); medium body with pleasant aftertaste. Priced appropriately at $10, with a good bottle presentation (not the Chuck Shaw austere look.).

Monday, October 1, 2012. You have a current blog? I was approached by someone in the trade today asking about the current state of my wine blog.
