This is a $10 bottle of massed-produced white Bordeaux and it tastes like one might expect; white table wine. Good news it'll go with anything. The bad news? It's fairly uninteresting with a flabby finish. The cat-pee notes are also heightened as the wine ages while the fruit notes seem to disappear.

Txakoli is amazing, it really is. It's slightly fizzy but it doesn't fall apart like a lot of other white wines that are made in this style. One does not NEED to serve it ice cold--but it's quite nice that way. Great minerality matched with very pretty floral notes. Super good with light foods--especially fresh (and raw) seafood. However, while i"m obviously a fan this particular txakoli, recently drunk, is past it's prime. Nothing 'off' about it, but the special sparkle is gone. I'd avoid buying this vintage past this date (Mid March 2010) and look for a younger txakoli.

This is a pretty 'big' wine...lots of rich, chewy fruit (blackberry jam) with pretty intense tannins that fall away fairly quickly. Good wine, great value. Not complex...and a bit TOO big for my personal liking.

This is a GREAT pinot Noir, not only because the price point is ridiculously reasonable--but because it's just damn fine wine. Clean, bright fruit notes with ripe cherry and a touch of floral notes. Nice, soft tannins on the finish and excellent balance of acidity. Great for sipping or pairing with food (a can't-go-wrong wine)!

I, personally, like sauvignon blancs of this nature; clean finish with upfront nose packed full of aromas: gooseberry, citrus, and that funky green-herbal note that sometimes shows up (this time a tad of tomato plant). The finish could be stronger, but for the price point? Nice little wine. Would pair well with some hard-to-pair foods like asparagus and artichokes.
