Matua Valley 2006 Sauvignon Blanc 6


Tart and crisp with grapefruit flavors. Cut through creamy food. Might get a little overwhelming on its own for a while.

WS 89- Serves up ripeness, vibrancy and very good concentration, with flavors of grapefruit, gooseberry, mineral and grass. Tart lime peel notes linger.

$10.29

Saracco 2006 Moscato d'Asti 7


Yummy, happy, and summery. A crowd pleaser. Roof top drinking with girls on 5/19.

A unique wine where the beautiful aromas of the grapes are enhanced by a crisp, nice acidity, a light fizziness and the sweetness of the natural residual sugar.
$15.29

Vietti 2000 Barolo di Castiglione Falletto 7.5


Very italian. Tannins but not too upfront. Spicey, herbs, leather, maybe some vanilla.
Enjoyed on a surprisingly chilly night with goulash and noodles
90 RP 90WS - RP-A medium garnet, it features dried fruit and flowers on the nose, a balanced, medium-weight palate, much freshness and force on the mid-palate and the close, and some interesting tar and leather notes for additional complexity
$38.00

Teruzzi & Puthod 2004 Terre di Tufi 6.5


Tastes like a blend which it is. Full , ripe . Nice . Drinkable. Solid throughout.
Without food, on the roof before Amelias
WE 88. wine.com-Ripe and exotic, full-bodied, with firm acidity, ample aromas and flavors recalling pineapple, peach, citrus, apples, vanilla, cream, piecrust and spice, luscious texture and lingering finish.
$22.00
