| | Tasted by Andyofoto on 10/5/2015: Just in an incredible place. Needs a couple hours to come together but once its there it is this melange of pit fruit. apricots, peaches, nectarines, you name it it's got it. Also a beautiful anise undertone. Super expressive very fresh and lithe in the mouth. Just awesome. (3487 views) |

| | Tasted by tooch on 3/2/2013 & rated 91 points: Saturday Afternoon at Domaine (Domaine Wine Storage - Chicago, IL): Exotic nose of orange marmalade, iron, and white floral notes. Its palate was at first insanely minerally. With some air, the fruit started to blossom. Orange and peach flavors dominated. (4531 views) |
| | Tasted by KeithAkers on 3/2/2013 & rated 92 points: Another Saturday at Domaine (Domaine Wine Storage, Chicago IL): Nose: Complex and gorgeous nose with tones of nectarines, peaches, pears, white fruits, red florals, and a touch of wax tones as well.
Taste: Medium bodied with medium+ acidity. The acidity is on the tart side along with flowing tones of nectarines, peaches, white fruits, red florals, some orange peels and a bit of wax.
Overall: This was a lovely wine. There is some real nice complexity and depth on both the nose and palate with a real attractive quality to the wine on the whole. (6052 views) |
| | Tasted by beezer6 on 3/2/2013 & rated 92 points: Domaine Wine Storage Saturday BYOB (Domaine Wine Storage (Chicago)): Marmalade, subtle hone, daffodil flowers. Palate is so smooth. Soft peach fuzz. Great texture. Love Bea's wines. Such a unique esoteric orange bottling. (5907 views) |

| | Tasted by tooch on 12/20/2011 & rated 90 points: Dinner at Matyson (Matyson - Philadelphia, PA): Really dug this orange wine. The nose had interesting white floral notes, almonds and orange peel. The palate was lithe but packed with flavors of chamomile, almond, lanolin and vanilla. Nice depth with zippy acidity. (3067 views) |
| | Tasted by eastover on 9/10/2011: Enjoyed with antipasti lunch on Tomato Day 2011. Lisa didn't like this one as much as the other two. (3073 views) |

| | Tasted by KenK on 9/2/2011 & rated 87 points: Wine Flock does Great Whites (My House): Weird appearance with light tea coloring. Aromas of tea, lemon, sweet fruit, and stones. Dry, yet nice ripe fruits are present, shows some age, zip, and power, most dominating character is dry grape skins, although some fruit qualities show through. Nice palate feel. 87 Jeff felt the strange color meant is was likely atypical. (3516 views) |
| | Tasted by cardinal01 on 6/20/2011 & rated 94 points: This is the most interesting bottle of white I have had in a long while -- outpacing the Radikon, Dettori, etc. Cloudy golden amber in the glass with tastes of almonds, honey and peaches. Was a little tight on first opening, but after an hour in the glass was absolutely singing. (2983 views) |
| | Tasted by vindictive on 5/18/2011: Excellent. Ice tea color, apple cider initially moving into subtle peach, apricot, herbs etc.. Good acidity and evolving nicely over a few hours. Versatile wine and nice tonight with caldo gallego. A little bit remaining for night 2 and it was still strong, perhaps a little better with the same fine herb and fruit smells. (2951 views) |

| | Tasted by AndrewSGHall on 3/26/2011: So pretty. Harmonious interplay of marizpan, mineral, floral and a nervy succulence. Lovely. (3144 views) |
| | Tasted by psmith on 3/26/2011: Very pretty. Medium body, with integrated tropical fruits and floral notes, with a balancing tannic profile. Melon. Similar to the Fruilian examples of this style, but very nice nonetheless. (3146 views) |
| | Tasted by vindictive on 3/15/2011: Lovely weighty cloudy wine. Light orange/yellow with honey, herbs, citrus peel and more.... Dry on the backend. Very food friendly, accessible and seems certain to age well. If you like Gravner, Radikon and/orJoly (it is less oxidative than Joly), you will probably like this wine. (3143 views) |
| | Tasted by bg2167 on 3/6/2011 & rated 89 points: Delicious and subtle notes of pollen, preserved lemons and Rosemary. One of my favorite "orange" wines. (3310 views) |

| | Tasted by hjrich on 1/16/2011 & rated 87 points: An orange wine; notes of honeysuckle and nectar; upon opening, wine appeared to lack a bouquet, but soft nectar bouquet emerged after bottle open for a half an hour. (3309 views) |
