4/7/22, 12:33 AM - This is from the Rhône.
11/21/17, 11:07 PM - This doesn't sound very fair, especially as it's not a fresh opening. What was it like on first pop?
8/24/17, 4:24 PM - The most useful review of this wine yet. Thanks!
7/22/17, 8:12 PM - Was just looking at my own two bottles of this wondering about them. Glad to know they still have something going. Might have to take one to Virginia in the near future (hint hint).
8/27/16, 9:26 AM - What do you mean by "still better than the White?"
8/2/16, 12:14 PM - Glad to know I'm not the only one to use the term "glossy sheen" when describing a wine! :) Thanks!
9/8/14, 6:37 PM - "...a NY night club..."! Hah! I feel like I've drunk some already!
6/7/14, 7:14 PM - Totally agree on the acidity. My take is that's what makes it a great Kabinett.
12/30/13, 5:38 PM - "Pedestrian, but sometimes it's okay to walk"I like that line, and may use it in the future.
10/17/13, 7:35 PM - Yes, the French (all of the Old World actually) make their wines for food. "Sippin'" culture is a totally New World phenom.
8/2/13, 8:25 AM - Haha! You're only human!
2/23/13, 4:23 PM - I like how you think (multiple 1er crus versus single Grand crus). Cheers!
12/5/12, 2:32 PM - Scallops seems like an excellent idea for pairing; a recipe that includes a tropical fruit salsa would be near perfect. That creaminess (from oak aging and Viognier's natural low acidity...the latter not necessarily a quality shared with Chard) would compliment the scallop texture to a tee.
4/23/12, 1:42 PM - Carte Classique is an Extra Dry, not a Brut. One should not expect Brut dryness in this wine.
2/8/12, 10:21 PM - This is not a Pinot. There is no Pinot in the blend either.
1/22/12, 1:08 PM - It is truly the king!
11/20/11, 10:39 PM - Why?
11/13/11, 9:19 PM - Sounds like this bottle was flawed. Fair to judge?
10/17/11, 9:46 PM - Wow! Still heavy on the tannins? I have two unopened bottles yet.
7/24/11, 12:25 PM - Where did you find info on the composition? It's not on the bottle and doesn't seem to be on the web site.
6/14/11, 10:19 PM - Rotten eggs and grass is not what this wine is supposed to smell like. That is not a characteristic of Callet. Something was clearly wrong with this bottle.
5/30/11, 10:54 PM - Are you saying you got this for ten bucks!? I need to shop where you shop!
5/21/11, 7:48 AM - Joly actually recommends a "vigorous decant" of about 24 hours for his wines. You've discovered why.
3/20/11, 10:52 AM - Pazzo is primarily Sangiovese, normally upwards of 70%.
3/4/11, 9:05 PM - What did it taste like? Any development/change six months from your last note?
3/3/11, 8:00 PM - Regarding his Espumante wines, Luis Pato notes, "Although being from single vintage, does not show the year in order to observe the legal norm." So officially, the wine is NV.The number on the back is a "Lot" number which may or may not be the same as the vintage. He doesn't explicitly say either way (and as Portugal is northern hemisphere, it *could* be the year of release), so we can't count that as a vintage year.
10/16/10, 3:44 PM - "...tough wine with a velvet glove." I think you've summarized a good Fronton perfectly!
8/31/10, 7:38 PM - So what did you (and Kalyn and Nana) actually think of the wine?
7/5/10, 10:11 PM - Good to know this is as expected. Also good to know I'm not the only one drinking these in the heat! Can't wait to get to my own.
4/7/10, 9:17 AM - We need clarity as to what this wine is. Mirabile makes four reds under Sicilia IGT. Menfri, the blend, has a blue label, but the picture here is a white label (which Mirabile uses for both their Syrah and their Tannat, also Sicilia IGT). GBM (below) has rated the Syrah while Ben here is rating the Menfri.
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
