    What We’re Drinking – William Hill Sauvignon Blanc

    Wine Reviews

    On the nose, this opens like a Kiwi Suav Blanc, all gooseberry and litter box, but after most of that blows off, tropical fruits come through. Passionfruit leads on the palate, but white grapefruit comes up right behind it, and laps it on the mid-palate. Gooseberry runs throughout. It's bright

    The color is a medium garnet.  Pipe tobacco, tomato, and vanilla provide a base for blueberry, blackberry, and cherry aromas. On the palate, jammy black fruit leads, slightly off-dry, with vanilla, leafy herbs, and a hint of seared beef fat. It's a little jumbled, not quite knit together, but offers

    An amazing take on pinot grigio: not typical at all, and wonderful in a unique way. I don’t always agree with the choices made by the famed Alois Lageder production team – but here I definitely come down on their side. They source the grapes for this wine from limestone

    Huge but surprisingly sophisticated and light on its feet, this Sonoma County Malbec opens with a fist but finishes with a caress. The color is intensely dark, almost black. The nose is huge, with plum, black currant, toast, vanilla, and spices. Every day of the 18 months in French oak,

    Cava has a problem, a common one in the wine industry. Call it the trap of cheapness. The question is, with the new Cavas de Paratges category, introduced this summer, have the Catalans found the key to escape? But first, the trap. Big Cava producers sold the Spanish bubbly worldwide

    What We’re Drinking – 2013 Katsaros “Valos”

    The nose is marvelously sweet and fruity, with dark cherry, plums, and strawberries, with a darker herbal and balsamic background. Dryer than expected from the nose, with unsettled tannins, darker flavors come to the fore. Black cherries and plums are joined by licorice and tomato leaf. Cherries linger with dusty

      The color is almost clear, a very pale yellow. The nose shows fresh pears and honeydew melon with a spritz of lime. On the palate it is intensely fruity, and rich. Pears, melon, and tangerines explode, zippy with lime zest and layered with herbal hints. It softens on the

    What We’re Drinking – 2012 Weingut Salwey Oberrotweiler Henkenberg Spätburgunder GG

    The color is a light, clear, translucent garnet. Dark cherry, raspberry, and Autumn spices waft up from the glass. The mouth-feel is round and full. Tart cranberry leads, with rich black cherry playing back up. Black pepper and coffee grounds pop up as highlights. A tart red fruit sensation lingers.
