Emollient and broad on the palate. Lovely length and fleshiness. Long and fresh.“ - Patrick Comiskey “Super bright nose! Very inviting. Fresh and clean with fresh apple, melon, stone fruit, and citrus notes. Pretty! Long elegant fresh finish.“ - Allison Levine 2022 Sierra Highlands Smith Flat Red Blend Estate Grown El Dorado $24.00 Platinum 94 “Pretty - almost Gamay like. Spicy red berry/raspberry. Firm and fleshy, with delightful lightness of touch. Clean, bright acidity.“ - Patrick Comiskey “Wild strawberry aromas welcome the first sip. Dusty chocolate tannins and spice. Fun and interesting. Textured and fresh.“ - Allison Levine 2020 The Miner's Inch El Dorado $36.00 Gold 92 “Mountain notes, iron, basalt, dark and concentrated.“ - Patrick Comiskey “Very fresh, enjoyable minerality, good fruit tannins, balanced, dusty cocoa.“ - Allison Levine 2023 Vermentino Estate Grown El Dorado $34.00 Gold 91 “Pretty classic. Sour melon and a hint of citrus. Golden, bright, citrus, round, warm but not hot. Could use a bit more edge.“ - Patrick Comiskey 2022 Cinsaut Estate Grown El Dorado $36.00 Gold 91 “Red strawberries, dark and grainy with a bitter back end. Varietally on point, with good lean, tangy astringency.“ - Patrick Comiskey 2022 Counoise Estate Grown El Dorado $36.00 Gold 90 “Transparent garnet color, cranberry, wild raspberry and baking spice notes, medium bodied and balanced.“ - Allison Levine Stoneleigh 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough $19.00 Gold 90 “A meaty nose with plenty of citrus. Good fruit with a touch of salinity and plenty of zing, what one looks for in a NZ SB.“ - Jeffrey Kralik “This is an elegant sauvignon blanc that's not as over the top as some of the more classic examples of the category. It's still got plenty of grapefruit and lime zest, but it also offers up some really pleasant minerality that makes it stand out from its peers.“ - Devin Parr Taylors Wines 2022 Special Release Shiraz Clare Valley $15.00 Gold 91 “Big dollop of blue fruit, cassis, blueberries. Concentrated coolness.“ - Patrick Comiskey Teachworth Napa Valley 2019 Pinot Noir Los Carneros $60.00 Gold 91 “On the lighter side. Really lovely structure with juicy fruit and bright floral notes. California Pinot Noir as I prefer it - elegant and restrained.“ - Devin Parr The Simple Grape 2022 Pinot Grigio California $16.00 Gold 91 “Rich tree fruit with ripe pear out front. The palate is bright and tart with solid fruit.“ - Jeffrey Kralik The Soldier 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley $23.00 Gold 91 “Very indicative of Columbia Valley Cab, this well represents its region. Tight tannins, softer, mineral driven.“ - Michael Cervin “I like the finish push here - it's bright, with mixed red and black fruit and a little brown spice note that deepens everything.“ - Rich Cook The Wolftrap 2021 White South Africa; WO Western Cape $11.99 Gold 90 “Pale to brilliant straw with a smoky citrusy/peachy vibe. Good, even great fruit on the palate with more than ample tartness and a solid finish.“ - Jeffrey Kralik “A whiff of smokiness and minerality mingles with the floral notes of this wine making it a really interesting, tasty selection. I suspect it would benefit from a cleverly curated pairing.“ - Devin Parr Three Hammers Winery 2021 Cuvée American $46.95 Platinum 94 “This could easily pass for a Grand Vin de Bordeaux - it's just starting to show itself and will unwind beautifully over many years.“ - Rich Cook Tomich 2023 Pinot Noir Woodside Vineyard Adelaide Hills $35.00 Gold 93 “Chocolate and Andes mint/eucalyptus. Carob, plum. Cool and briary, dark strawberry and plumskin, grainy and peppery, fine tannins and great length “ - Patrick Comiskey “Milk chocolate and eucalyptus aromas, wild raspberries and cherries, bright acid, lovely texture. Yum!“ - Allison Levine 2022 Pinot Noir Woodside Vineyard Adelaide Hills $35.00 Gold 90 “Funky (but I love the funk) nose that hides the fruit, but the palate is fresh and delicious with tart cherry and a bit of heat.“ - Jeffrey Kralik “Don't let the earthy nose fool you. On the palate this wine's got plenty on offer, from dark fruit to spice to an awesome funk, and a surprisingly full body despite its light color. A tad hot on the finish, which fans of big wines might actually appreciate.“ - Devin Parr Traforato 2022 Due Nerelli Terre Siciliane IGT $45.00 Gold 91 “The terroir shows in aromas of blackberries, black plums, dried bramble herbs. The tannins round out in the finish with fruit. Pair with pork roast roasted with plums, garlic, onions.“ - Stacie Hunt Trump Winery 2017 Brut Reserve Monticello $94.99 Platinum 94 “From the brioche opener to the citrus finish, this wine will delight your palate.

Finishes with bright acidity.“ - Stacie Hunt 2021 New World Reserve Monticello $74.99 Gold 91 “The blender's art is one of nuance, and that skill shows well here. Age this a few years before diving in.“ - Rich Cook 2022 Viognier Monticello $29.99 Gold 90 “Correct. Bright lemon zest and tropical fruit. Salty and bright, slightly sweet, good acids, lean.“ - Patrick Comiskey Tutto Mio NV Rosso Dolce Emilia IGT $11.99 Gold 90 “Fans of sweet, spritzy Lambrusco-style wines will delight in crushing this juicy little number. Sweetness here is nicely balanced by acid and fizz. By no means a serious wine, but it's certianly not meant to be. Get this nice and chilled and order up a pepperoni pizza and you have yourself the ultimate pairing.“ - Devin Parr Wakefield 2021 St Andrews Shiraz Clare Valley $80.00 Platinum 95 “Wild wine. Wild berries, a hint of VA, clove spice, dark, suave tannins, lean, focused, concentrated fruit.“ - Patrick Comiskey “Briary, wild forest fruit, low center of gravity with a fresh lift on the nose, lush on the palate with that same fresh lift.“ - Allison Levine 2023 St Andrews Chardonnay Clare Valley $40.00 Gold 93 “Quiet palate, but really nice fruit, a zingy component and fantastic balance. Very, very nice.“ - Jeffrey Kralik 2023 St Andrews Riesling Clare Valley $40.00 Platinum 95 “Serious Riesling is always a pleasure, and this is more than serious.

Tar, sweet coffee. Black and volcanic, massive, extracted, full bodied and long. Lumbering intensity.“ - Patrick Comiskey 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Haas Vineyards Diamond Mountain District $125.00 Gold 90 “Quite dark, even brooding with black fruit and some cow blood on the nose. Rich and chewy on the palate. Really tannic and needs time.“ - Jeffrey Kralik Walport Family Cellars 2021 Malbec Applegate Valley $37.00 Gold 91 “Really dark. Brooding - just stormy black. Cassis a go-go on the nose, Rich, ominous, and yes, brooding on the palate as well. Perfect for a snowstorm and a brisket.“ - Jeffrey Kralik “While this will no doubt benefit for more time in bottle thanks to those firm tannins, its potential shows now. It’s huge, packed with black fruit, black peppercorns, black licorice, and leather.“ - Devin Parr Winton Road 2023 Rosé Barossa Valley, Australia $24.00 Gold 90 points "Crisp, dry and brightly flavored with true fruit character - no bubble gum here!" - Rich Cook Yealands 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough $17.99 Gold 91 “One of the more fascinating Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs I've tasted. It's juicy and zesty but offers an utterly beguiling whiff of smokiness that I find myself more and more drawn to with each sip.“ - Devin Parr ZD Wines 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley $78.00 Platinum 97 “Made in a full thottle style done right, with sturdy structure, complementary oak notes and a finish that won't quit, and it's ageworthy to boot. Bravo!“ - Rich Cook 2022 Chardonnay Reserve Carneros $85.00 Platinum 96 “The wine offers a nice balance of golden apple, ripe pear, butter, and vanilla on the nose. In the glass you will find those ripe fruit flavors with a bright lemon curd finish.“ - Chuck Dowe “Shows its class. Golden apple, citrus blossoms, lemon curd, lemon zest. Mild, buttery finish crisps up in the finish. Pair with creamy sauces, garlic-seasoned dishes such as Scampi or roasted chicken.“ - Stacie Hunt 2022 Pinot Noir Founder's Reserve Carneros $93.00 Platinum 95 “Rich, juicy cherry in the glass with a touch of violet, all adding up to a lovely nose. Rich and lively on the palate with dark cherry and a nice herbal note.“ - Jeffrey Kralik “YUM. This wine came in with huge aromatics and did not disappoint on the palate. It's big yet still light on its feet with a mouthful of dark fruit and bramble lifted by freshness and a most elegant finish. A fantastic food wine but also more than enough on its own.“ - Devin Parr 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley $37.00 Gold 91 “Bananas, pineapple, apple. Sour and a touch bitter, good mid weight, balanced, a little firm on the finish.“ - Patrick Comiskey Zonte's Footstep 2024 Excalibur Sauvignon Blanc Adelaide Hills $27.50 Platinum 95 “Very aromatic wine with citrus, lime, green pineapple notes, tangy with savory on the palate, structured and fresh with a long mouthwatering finish“ - Allison Levine 2023 Dawn Patrol Pinot Noir Adelaide Hills $40.00 Gold 90 “Solid sense of place, and a tasty mix of red fruit and menthol herbaceousness - very food friendly!“ - Rich Cook 2022 Lake Doctor Shiraz Langhorne Creek $30.00 Gold 90 “Initially stinky. Sleek and concentrrated, the wine is very reduced and needs decanting; Hard to read now but there’s a good wine in the background, it just needs time.“ - Patrick Comiskey “Stinky, reduced nose opens to cassis, dark fruit, dusted florals, lots of drying tannins, no mid palate at first but then opens up.“ - Allison Levine 2024 Scarlet Ladybird Rosé Fleurieu $27.50 Gold 90 “A totally unique, mineral-driven rose that offers lovely fresh fruit and a yummy salinity that is just so compelling. Easy and sea-breezy.“ - Devin Parr |
