  3/10/2019 - G.A. Parker Likes this wine:

  Dark rose from Georgia made with the aladasturi grape. Floral nose, passionfruit, a bit natural/skin contact/phenolic tasting. Decanted for ~30 min and is much more integrated. A bit of a plain yogurt lactic note underneath tropical fruit and citrus. Nice structure that stood up to Thai red curry, and was refreshing enough to balance it. Would be a nice porch pounder on a hot day.

  2/10/2019 - G.A. Parker Likes this wine:

  White Rhone blend with a little bit of skin contact. Acidic/phenolic upon first opening. Lots of fruit on the nose- stone to tropical fruit, peaches, some greenness. With some air becomes much more integrated, with a fuller feeling midpalate. Drank with spaghetti carbonara, and the acidity made it a good pairing that cut through the richness.

  1/5/2019 - G.A. Parker Likes this wine:

  Aromatic nose of tart red fruits- pomegranate, hibiscus, and some spiced pear compote. Just a hint of savory funkiness. Robust color, in this case representative of robust body. Lots of acidity on the finish, but supported by the round mid-palate mouthfeel. Nice pairing with spicy takeout sushi.
