Light straw color, floral nose followed by a lovely acidity in the mouth that is nicely balanced with the weight of the wine, flavors and finish sing of sweet lemons. Lovely
Very light, but spicy and a bit minty. Still light in the mouth but with a good acid balance and some fruit. Overall, a very simple, light Dolcetto that is a decent forgettable red for afternoon sipping at the right price but not the table.
Lightly colored, pleasant Bourgogne with a attractive vegetative nose and and flavor. Decent but light balance and attractive finish. At less than $20, reasonable value if thats what you are looking for.
Light straw color, nutty, yeasty nose, with hint of citrus. More vague citrus in the mouthing adequate acid, followed by a bit of cloying tannin that lingers into the finish. This tannin might resolve in a bit of time but I passing on this wine for now.

Dark and slightly rustic in a lovely way. Big wine with big flavors yet lots of grace and finesse, brings back many memories of wonderful dinners there.
Delicate spicy oak, light honey, apricot, citrus notes in nose and mouth. Lovely balance and moderate extract and the oak is very much an accent and in context, spicy but not overbearing. Lovely wine, didn't buy but only because I spent my white budget on a slightly nicer wine for me.
Buttery and a bit minty, moderate in all aspects. At $12 an acceptable but unexciting red. There are better and worse values. I would finish a glass but probably not the second one unless the food and the evening was still going.
Bright color and buttery nose with a vague berry fruit this is a nice but a bit short on depth of character red. Good acid balance but some slight bitter notes at $12 a nice low cost red.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges
Moderate color and seductive complex nose of berries and green herbs. In the mouth the weight and acid balance, the complexity of flavors were all working together, followed by a lovely lingering finish. Very very nice. At $40 a bottle not a steal but i was tempted.

Lovely herbal, floral nose, that is echoed in the mouth flavors. Good weight and pleasant acidity lead to a long lingering finish. Beautiful wine.
