very well balanced Bordeaux. Rich flavor, yet not overpowering. Well integrated tannins that show but don;t overwhelm.

Young and slightly immature Bordeaux. Light on fruit, but smooth with a minimal bite. Nice summer red which will not overwhelm you.

Very nice Sangiovese. Served with a chicken/eggplant parm with a light tomato sauce. Wine paired very well with the delicate flavors of the dish. Not too bold, not too strong, not overwhelming, all accented by soft and smooth tannins.

Excellent PN. Everything that you would expect out of this varietal. Smooth, full, lush, vibrant, fruity but not too much.

OK wine. Not exceptional in any manner. Slightly lighter than average flavor, with a tinge of must on the finish. Tried to pair with a marsala to match the must and the mushrooms. Didn't work that well.

Nice unoaked Chard (which i prefer over oaked). relatively clean, but more flavored than i prefer. I enjoyed it but have had better. neeed to serve very cold.

Harsh at first - even after being decanted for an hour. Subtlety and softness grew over time. Paired well with pasta meat sauce, garlic bread, salad - a true Italian meal. Flavors eventually came through with a touch of class.

First time taste. Light structure. Virtually no tannins. soft on the nose and palate. Very drinkable and easy to pair food with. Drank with cheeses, crackers and light appetizers.

Pretty nice wine and a great value. Good Barbera structure and richness to the body. Very soft and smooth tannins. Lingering flavor.

Pretty decent PN for the price. Paired very will with Turkey and all the trimmings. Slightly rich flavor, light on earth, not overwhelming. A pleasure to sip and drink.

Relatively clean for an "oaked" California chardonnay. Actually surprised by the lightness of creaminess and butteriness. (if there is such a word

Pretty nice Syrah bought at a great price. Paired well with all different appetizers.

Disappointed, but i probably waited too long to drink

Very nice Barolo. Full flavored, but not overpowering. Smooth with soft tannins. Only opened for about 30 minutes, could have used a full hour to let the wine develop properly

Very nice SB. Fruit on the nose. Slightest touch of sugar. Not sweet at all. Nice dry and clean finish

strong pineapple nose and mouth. Too sweet for my tastes

definitely different from typical CA chardonnays. Loved the clarity of no oak. Nice white wine (not near a white Burgundy) ut worth the $$

Surprisingly good for an inexpensive rose. Not too sweet. Not too dry. Interesting touch of fizz (not sure if that was intended or not)

UGH

Real nice rose. Different. No fruit. Dry. Paired well with Friday night fare (pate, cheeses, artichokes, etc.) Great summer wine

Very different PN. Full bodied. No earthiness. Lots of fruit. Rich Flavor

Just a total drinking experience. Velvety touch. Balanced and well rounded flavors and finish.

Spectacular Montrachet. Clean, crisp, vibrant and smooth. Slightly stronger fruit than a typical Montrachet, but still a great bottle of wine worth every penny.

Excellent cab. Decanted for 90 minutes. Smooth, velvety tannins. Rich full taste with no bite. Luxurious lingering follow through

Nice pinot - french burgundy. Not one of my favorites, but went very well with T'giving dinner.

Excellent wine. Served with a highly peppered filet. Velvety smooth. soft luxurious tannins. Subtle berry flavor that pleasantly lingered.

Nice Pinot. Vibrant flavors but not overpowering. Served very well with pork tenderloin

8/22/2010 - mwolff wrote:

OK Pinot. Not one of the best, but definitely not one of the worst. Had some body and strong fruit flavors. Sipped alone without food at first and had an initial good impression. Later added cheeses and other appetizers. worked ok.

7/16/2010 - mwolff wrote:

OK Red Burgundy. Drank with a dinner of appetizers. Paired much better with brie than with pate

Nice light clean white wine. The grape provided a little more structure than a pinot grigio or a sauvignon blanc. Good value summer wine. Paired well with cheeses, pates and other appetizers.

Real nice syrah blend from Matt. Smooth and soft tannins, but with a mouthful of flavor. Could use more time in the bottle.

3/26/2010 - mwolff wrote:

another winner. Great starter wine as you build the flight. Paired well with a side variety of appetizers (cheeses, eggplant, cannelini beans, etc.)

3/26/2010 - mwolff wrote:

Well balanced syrah - definitely chewy and full of strong satisfying flavors. A good syrah, but probably could get similar satisfaction at a third of the price.

Probably past its peak, as this was not up to Turley standards or the way i remember Turley zins. Left much to be desired. Unsatisfying

Nice cab. Strong rich flavors without much of a bite or high acidity. Paired very well with a strong pate.

3/18/2010 - mwolff wrote:

Nemesis continues to be one of my favorites with a mouthful of strong, yet refined flavors from initial taste to after taste. Good out of the bottle, great after 30 minutes of breathing, you get flavors of dark berries throughout the experience.

3/18/2010 - mwolff wrote:

Pretty good with strong berry notes and the usual mouthful of Linne Calodo flavors. Wine was too young to drink (bottle aging was definitely called for) especially in consideration that i have other vintages going back to 2005. This will be excellent in 2-3 years.l

Excellent wine for a great price. Paired well with a "lite" italian meal of Veal Marsala, roasted potatoes and roasted asparagus. Smooth foretaste with minimal hard tannins on the end.

Liked this a lot as a starter wine for a long evening. Sets the stage well with a smooth flavor throughout the entire tasting process.

Excellent Pinot for its youth. Round, rich flavor that paired well with appetizers (puff pastry with walnuts, pesto and goat cheese)

Pretty decent cab for its price. medium tannins, little bite and after taste

1/17/2010 - mwolff wrote:

Nice bottel of white, but not as clean as the 2006. I like this white because it has more flavor than a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, but is not creamy and buttery like a CA Chardonnay.

Love this wine with hearty Italian food. Not real big (which is good for novices) but excellent flavor and depth. Opened up very well after 30 minutes

Still metallic although served with pasta and meat sauce. Will NOT buy again
