- of Jonathan B.March 24, 2025(Automatically translated) The Mercurey appellation allows us to taste an excellent Pinot Noir without breaking the bank. A medium to full-bodied wine, aromas of ripe raspberry, sweet spices, a slight note of wood, refreshing acidity and silky tannins. Serve your white meat or salmon on the BBQ.
- of Jonathan B.March 24, 2025(Automatically translated) If you like Barolos, then you're in for a treat, but not for today. This one is acquired with patience to appreciate it, otherwise, you will find it astringent and uncomfortable in the mouth. Cherry, tobacco and leather aromas may improve over time. 2030-2036 at the very least.
- of Jonathan B.March 24, 2025(Automatically translated) Initially, I am not a fan of sake, due to the fact that alcohol is too often present and detracts from the aromas that emanate from it. Here, it's quite the opposite. A texture like silk. Beautiful aromas of flowers, tropical fruits and slightly herbaceous. Pairings: sushi, fish or oysters.
- of Jonathan B.February 7, 2025(Automatically translated) A Bordeaux belonging to Château Beychevelle but vines from another producer exclusive to them. Harvests are carried out according to the precepts of the house, i.e. at maturity for an optimal result. Aromas of candied pineapple, a nice acidity and a little roundness, thanks to the 12 months in barrel (20%).
- $21.50Not available Online Available In storeof Jonathan B.February 6, 2025(Automatically translated) Once again, this product gives us a wow effect. Composed mainly of Grenache (70%) and 30% Syrah, this wine makes us salivate with a good piece of red meat on the BBQ. I recommend it if you like gigondas, vacqueyras or châteauneuf-du-pape at low prices, a bargain.
- of Jonathan B.February 3, 2025(Automatically translated) Pelaverga, a Piedmontese grape variety to discover absolutely if you are a fan of the Burgundian Pinot Noir style. With aromas of small red fruits and a touch of spice, this wine will go very well with a beef stew with vegetables.
- Not available Online Available In storeof Jonathan B.February 3, 2025(Automatically translated) Parés Baltà presents its Cava Blanca Cusiné, a sparkling wine that can easily compete with a champagne priced over $100. Composed of 80% xarel-lo, and equal parts chardonnay and pinot noir, this cava, aged for more than 80 months, reveals notes of candied, milky and toasted fruit.
- $50.50Not available Online Available In storeof Jonathan B.February 3, 2025(Automatically translated) A Chianti Classico worthy of the Gran Selezione, which will appeal to those looking for aromas of fresh fruit, spices and a subtle woody note on the finish. Fine tannins that will allow the wine to keep for a good ten years without any problem. Perfect with a veal osso bucco, hunter's sauce. Wow!
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) A big crush this week, a Barolo vintage that I don't usually have the chance to taste. The Lazzarito gives a straightforward wine, focused on finesse, due to its limestone soil, but has the power to last over time. Lovers of great wines must, in my opinion, get their hands on them.
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) A rosso di Montalcino that plays in the court of Brunello. Vines of 11 to 17 years, ageing of 9 to 12 months but which puts all its freshness into perspective. Focused on cherry, sweet spices and black fruits. This wine can be drunk now or kept for another ten years.
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) Sauvignon de Bourgogne often overshadows Chardonnay or even Aligoté, but remains an excellent choice for those who want a light wine, with no residual sugar. Mineral, floral and white fruit aromas. Perfect to start as an aperitif or with your cheeses and cold cuts.
- Not available Online Available In storeof Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) A Greek wine like no other. This 100% malagousia offers you a bouquet of flowers, citrus fruits and a very long minerality. A little fatty, which for my part, will go well with a fish with fatty flesh or a crustacean with claw. The length in the mouth and its flavors remind me of a wonderful Chablis!
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) Straight Riesling, a mineral with a background and a hydrocarbon that stands out. This wine brings a very nice acidity (lemon and lime) that will go wonderfully with your oysters, but also with sushi. For those who think Rieslings are sweet, think again, this one is dry.
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) Rediscovery of this New Zealand wine, 100% sauvignon blanc that doesn't look like a Kim Crawford, but more like a Sancerre. Herbaceous, mineral and slightly acidic notes. A fresh wine that will accompany your lobster with lemon butter. For less than $30, it's worth the detour.
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) Not everyone who likes orange wines, but you should know that this one hardly reminds you of the others. No bitterness detected, aromas of peach, honey and a mineral finish will accompany your favorite fish. To be discovered without further delay, especially since it looks more like a white wine than an orange
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) Austria is currently in vogue, you should know that the Grüner Veltliner is its trademark in white. This one charmed me with its depth as much for its aromas of citrus, white fruits and its saline touch. A gourmet wine that will please all those who like to discover new horizons.
- of Jonathan B.September 13, 2024(Automatically translated) Served blind, I would have thought of a Nebbiolo but with freshness and finesse. Tasmanian wines are rare and it's a shame because this one brings a lot of complexity, while remaining straight and firm. Ripe black fruits and a slight note of leather. This wine will appeal to lovers of Burgundy wines.
- of Jonathan B.September 13, 2024(Automatically translated) No more 2nd château wines, now they produce plots. Closer to the 1st wine, a Margaux that offers depth and fine tannins. This gives it a nice acidity and a beautiful red fruit without being marked by wood. Only 20% of the wine has been in barrels, the other 80% in amphora.
- of Jonathan B.September 13, 2024(Automatically translated) Excellent Bordeaux, no it's a Californian wine. Surprise! Claire Lurton, owner of 3 Grands Crus Classés in the Médoc, unveils her USA wine in finesse and elegance. A nice acidity. A roundness with black fruits and a touch of roasting. A 2017 that will please Bordeaux lovers.
- of Jonathan B.August 11, 2024(Automatically translated) Fiano, an Italian grape variety in an Australian wine. What a discovery! Aromas of mango, candied pineapple and a little saline touch. Fresh acidity but not aggressive at all. Will go well with white fish with tropical sauce.
- of Jonathan B.August 11, 2024(Automatically translated) Fabien Jouves is back with an excellent 50/50 Merlot/Malbec with freshness. A well-balanced fruitiness with notes of cherry and red berries. No wood, perfect for deli meats outside when it's 38 degrees Celsius.
