I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than most people). So each week, I share some of my wine reviews (mostly from samples) and tasting notes in a “mini-review” format.
They are meant to be quirky, fun, and (mostly) easily-digestible reviews of (mostly) currently available wines (click here for the skinny on how to read them), and are presented links to help you find them, so that you can try them out for yourself. Cheers!
- 2017 Dutton Estate Winery Kylie’s Cuvee Sauvignon Blanc (Russian River Valley): It’s a big yard, but the grass is fresh and well-tended, and the tropical plants look great. $27 B+
- 2016 Dutton-Goldfield Walker Hill Chardonnay (Russian River Valley): Sporting a sexier profile than normal… and there’s nothing at all wrong with that. $50 A-

- NV Bruno Paillard Premiere Cuvee (Champagne): Apples, toast, jasmine, and one of the best things going in NV Champers that we mere mortals are likely to encounter. $50 A-
- 2013 Barone Pizzini Rose (Franciacorta): Like a good mystery novel, the intrigue keeps building as you go along. $45 A-
- 2016 Donnafugata ‘Sul Vulcano’ Rosso Etna (Sicily): Wild berries, wild flowers, & a grounded, friendly personality. $35 B+
