Wrap Up: November Wine Reviews

Wine Reviews Not as famous as Robert Parker’s wine reviews, but a lot more useful if you live near Philly. We make sure the pricing is highly advantageous, as well.  To read all our wine reviews, you can check them out here.

‌

‌ Ulysses 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley This may seem like a lot of cash for a bottle of wine (and it is) but consider that it’s from the guy behind both Petrus and Dominus Estate. One of the greatest Cabs I have had in the past five years. I am thinking this belongs in our next luxury Cabernet Sauvignon class. Wine Rating: 97 Points PA  Wine & Spirits Pricing: $79.99 ‌

‌ Tolaini 2014 Valdisanti Another amazing Cabernet Sauvignon. This beauty hails from Tuscany, from a single vineyard just east of Sienna. It’s a bit too good of a value to put in our Cabernet class, but I expect this find a home in an Italian class (and my dinner table) soon. Wine Rating: 93 Points PA  Wine & Spirits Pricing: $19.99 ‌

‌ J Wilkes 2017 Pinot Noir I am deeply impressed with the quality and value of Santa Maria Valley Pinots. Remember that movie Sideways? Yeah, we still do, too. This is an exceptional value, and one we currently use in our Wine 101 classes. Wine Rating: 91 Points PA  Wine & Spirits Pricing: $16.99 ‌

‌ The Walls 2015 Syrah Exceptional bottle From Red Mountain in Columbia Valley. We’ve been crushing on  Washington State wines for a while now.  This Syrah joins our list of top picks. Wine Rating: 91 Points PA  Wine & Spirits Pricing: $19.99 ‌

‌ Quinta do Vallado 2017 Douro Great small producer whose wine we have been pouring in wine classes for years. The first review was for the 2012 Reserva, and the 2011 vintage was a huge hit in our Wine Smarts class. Wine Rating: 90 Points PA  Wine & Spirits Pricing: $11.99 ‌

‌ Marques de Toro 2015 Mencia It’s hard not to love Mencia, the grape of a thousand faces but only one home. One of the essential Spanish grape varietals. This is a beautiful wine, and at this price worth a case or two for the holidays. Wine Rating: 90 Points PA  Wine & Spirits Pricing: $9.99 ‌
