2019 Andis Wines Zinfandel Original Grandpere Vineyard

Amador County more

3/22/2024 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NR

Smooth, 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 Rubeno

Alto Adige - Südtirol more

1/12/2024 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NR

Medium-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.

Gruet 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 Cigare

Central Coast Rosé Blend more

3/27/2024 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NR

Bonny 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.

Negroamaro more

1/5/2024 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NR

Enjoyed 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.

Baby powder at first with hints of elderflower aroma. Light gold color. Semi-sweet, nectar-y flavor and finish. Superb and well worth the investment.

12/17/2023 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NR

Bright 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 Gris

Neusiedlersee more

12/16/2023 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NR

Pale 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 Reserve

Gualtallary more

12/10/2023 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NR

Dark 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: NR

Ooh...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.

Light/thin ruby color, a somewhat spicy and peppery nose, but tasted a bit one-dimensional. Not bad, just nothing particularly memorable.

Thin 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.

Dark 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: NR

Quite 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.

Gamay more

9/30/2023 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NR

Personal notes:
Somewhat thin medium ruby color, faint aroma and flavor of raspberry on first sip. This took a little while to open up and get going. Slight/light tannins and a hint of Cherry Coke aroma (not in a bad way).

9/13/2023 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NR

Personal notes:
That familiar GMV Sauvignon Blanc aroma, but taken to a different flavor level with the addition of the Petit Manseng. This went flawlessly with a jumbo lump crab cake sandwich and a tomato corn salad. Yum!

2022 Revoire & Fils Bandol Le Pont

Mourvèdre Blend, Mourvèdre more

8/14/2023 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NR

Personal notes:
I've had this before and needed to check my old notes, but somehow recall being a bit underwhelmed the first time. But found this quite enjoyable the second go around. The higher Consult make-up gives it a different flavor profile than most Provençal rosés, richer and fuller. Went well with some Trader Joe's Cod Provençal.

2021 Eric Cottat Sancerre

Sauvignon Blanc more

8/7/2023 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NR

Personal notes:
This had an odd sour note on the first sniff, and a bit of flatness on first taste. It took a bit longer than expected to settle into a groove -- a very mineral-centric one. Good, but not the best I've had from Sancerre (as I'm more of a Silex fan).

2019 Ginglinger - Fix Pinot Noir

Alsace more

7/24/2023 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NR

Very 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.

Pale pink with very light aroma and flavor to start, but settles into a nice Provençal sipper. No big surprises, but a pleasant summer quaff.
