2022 Bruliam Pinot Noir Rosé Sonoma Countymore |
4/29/2024 - wkasimer Likes this wine: 92 pointsHearty medium body, fruit that stays away from the “candied” flavors, savory. No funk at all. This a a great sipper but also with food, as it is not a light or shy rosé |

4/7/2024 - wkasimer Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis is light in body and light in color. What I love most is the sage and other savory notes. There is fruit but it isn’t super juicy. This is a winner. |

3/30/2024 - wkasimer Does not like this wine: NRThis was dark yellow. Bruised apple on the palate and on the nose. Is it supposed to be like this? |

2021 Domaine Guenault TouraineSauvignon Blanc more |
3/29/2024 - wkasimer Likes this wine: 87 pointsDoesn’t have the intensity of New Zealand, nor the grassiness of Sancerre. It is fine for a weeknight wine, but I could probably do a little better for a little higher price. |

3/28/2024 - wkasimer wrote: NRIt’s fine. No rating because while I think it is a well made wine, I don’t think this grape is my fav. Low acid without other elements to lift it. It is savory without being saline. Not particularly aromatic |

2015 Marqués de Murrieta Rioja Reserva Finca YgayTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
3/23/2024 - wkasimer Does not like this wine: 81 pointsWas this flawed? I don’t think so. On the nose was lumberyard. on the palate there was zero fruit, grippy tannins and sharp acid. That’s it. It went down the sink. |

3/2/2024 - wkasimer Likes this wine: 91 pointsScreaming intensity and yet the intensity was not from fruit. Spice? Minerality? It is well balanced and zippy. Glorious. |

2/25/2024 - wkasimer Likes this wine: 90 pointsNose is vibrant indeed as noted in other comments. Nectarine, some tropical notes and salinity/minerality. Finish is a bit abrupt but a very enjoyable glass. Serve with poulet mafé yaaaaaas |

2/6/2024 - wkasimer Likes this wine: 91 pointsOther comments spot on. Delicious with grilled lemony swordfish with green olives on fresh pasta. This wine has decent body. Well balanced. |

2/3/2024 - wkasimer Likes this wine: 93 pointsFruit starting to mute while secondaries starting to reveal. Well balanced with fine tannin. The delicate spice from the wood paired beautifully with the cinnamon of our kibbe |

1/17/2024 - wkasimer Likes this wine: 90 pointsI can’t believe this is the same grape as Pinot Grigio! There is some sweetness on this wine which I didn’t expect. Dark golden color. Great pairing with spice. Baked yellow apple. Lingering finish |

NV Schramsberg Vineyards Mirabelle BrutNorth Coast Champagne Blend more |
1/14/2024 - wkasimer Likes this wine: 88 pointsCompared to champagne, it’s darker, heavier, fruitier, less acidic, less bready. Is it fair to compare all sparklers to champagne? Baked yellow apple and not a lively mousse. Paired nicely with a spicy coconut fish dish. |

2018 Unti Vineyards AglianicoDry Creek Valley more |
1/13/2024 - wkasimer Likes this wine: 90 pointsTannins super interesting. Quite present yet also fine. Fruit is dark and not at all jammy. Another comment here mentioned menthol, which I thought was rather odd, but after tasting I totally understood that. Definitely a food wine. Served with short rib ragu on gnocchi. |
