Wine Reviews

This is a delightful blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco from Tuscany.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose has apples, floral notes and wild thyme.  Medium bodied.  Slightly oily texture.  Crisp acidity.  On the palate, this drinks easily.  Crisp apple flavors with slight citrus and minerality.  Good finish.  This is lovely on its own and will work with lighter foods.  A nice choice to go with pasta in a butter sauce.  Drink over the next couple of years.  Nice value.

Another great Kutch wine. His Chardonnays (and Pinots) are really top notch. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with red apples, slight vanilla and spice. Medium to full bodied. Crisp acidity. On the palate, this is concentrated but unwinds nicely in the glass. Great texture. Flavors of apples and maybe some pears. Long finish. This is delicious and drinks very easily. Great on its own but better with food. A nice choice for rich seafood as the crispness will lend a nice foil. Drink over the next ten years.

This is 100% Pinot Grigio from northern Italy.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is mineral driven but also some lemon and slight green tart apple.  Light to medium bodied.  Slightly "oily" texture.  Good energy.  On the palate, flavors of crisp green apples with underlying minerality.  Long finish.  This drinks easily on its own but works even  better with food.  This would go well with a full charcuterie board including soft cheeses and prosciutto.  Drink over the next few years.  

Inky purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is great with cassis, blueberries, cedar, slight graphite and spice.  Full bodied.  Firm tannins.  On the palate, this is delicious if still youthful.  Flavors of cassis, blueberries, graphite and spice.  Complex but tight, it unwinds in the glass.  Long finish.  This drinks great on its own and would be nice with roasted meats, fowl or squash.  Drink over the next twenty years.
