2019 Andis Wines Zinfandel Original Grandpere VineyardAmador County more |
3/22/2024 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NRSmooth, slightly spicy flavor and the 15% abv is well cloaked (and can creep up on ya!). This reminded me yet again how good Zinfandel can be, and this was money well spent. Would recommend and definitely get again. |

2022 Kellerei Cantina Andrian Lagrein RubenoAlto Adige - Südtirol more |
1/12/2024 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NRMedium-dark ruby color. Youthful, fruit-forward aroma. Short finish...but naturally improved with some glass time. A nice change of pace, and something different from the multitude of Pinot Grigios coming out of the same region. |

1/14/2024 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NRGruet never disappoints. Affordable, tasty bubbles that are readily available. This worked very well with fish and chips – yes, you read that right! |

2022 Bonny Doon Vineyard Vin Gris de CigareCentral Coast Rosé Blend more |
3/27/2024 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NRBonny Doon's Vin Gris de Cigare is always a reliable and tasty quaff with a bargain price tag. Definitely leans towards a Provençal style of rosé, which is right up my alley. It's just a nice bottle for when you don't really want to think too deeply, but rather just want to enjoy a tasty glass or two. |

1/5/2024 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NREnjoyed this, though didn't have quite the same unusual flavor that caught my attention when I first tasted it. Still, a readily available and affordable bottle that's worth a repeat. |

12/17/2023 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NRBright gold color and just flat out delicious! If this shows up again on Last Bottle or Last Bubbles, definitely well worth the modest price. Spain once again shows it's a bargain-hunter's dream for wine! |

2020 Leo Hillinger Pinot GrisNeusiedlersee more |
12/16/2023 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NRPale orange color, baby powder nose, and a fruity flavor out of the gate. It tasted round, rich, sweet and delicious. Paired well with some ginger scallion cod from Wegman's, and superbly well with chicken marsala. |

2018 Familia Leone Arrigoni Malbec Los Noques ReserveGualtallary more |
12/10/2023 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NRDark ruby with a noticeable spicy note on the nose. A bit front palate on the first sip, but settled nicely into its groove. Worked great with a barbecue chicken flatbread...and on its own. A delicious bargain bottle definitely worth getting again. |

11/25/2023 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NROoh...LOVE this one's aroma! And flavor! It's soft, supple, and very easy drinking. So much so that the bottle will not last long. Went quite well with some turkey leftovers after Thanksgiving, spot on indeed. |

2017 Et Fille Pinot Noir Palmer Creek VineyardEola - Amity Hills more |
11/10/2023 - erikdahlin wrote: NRLight/thin ruby color, a somewhat spicy and peppery nose, but tasted a bit one-dimensional. Not bad, just nothing particularly memorable. |

2021 Brigaldara ValpolicellaCorvina Blend, Corvina more |
11/3/2023 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NRThin ruby color -- looked somehow almost watered-down. Pleasant nose on first swirl, and a mellow, medium-body favor that went great with some Friday night pizza. |

10/17/2023 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NRDark ruby color, dark cherry aroma, slightly tight to start but that didn't last. A very tasty weeknight red that's worth a repeat. |

10/14/2023 - erikdahlin wrote: NRQuite bright gold, restrained and vague nose, and an almost sour taste on first sip. Unfortunately that sourness seemed to linger more than I'd hoped, and was just kind of meh about this in the end. |

2019 Ginglinger - Fix Pinot NoirAlsace more |
7/24/2023 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NRVery pale, thin ruby color. Pleasant aroma of black raspberry. Flavor also began on the thin side, but settles into a nice, easy drinking Pinot. Not overly complex or going to give Oregon or Bourgogne a run for their money, but certainly a respectable weeknight sipper that won't break the bank. |
