This is a cross between a Pinot and a Cab - softer than most cabs and very pleasant, with enough fruit to make it interesting. I'll buy it again.
Truly incredible under the radar Champagne from a lesser known grower. I've seen this producer in my travels abroad and had the opportunity to try it last year when I was in Paris so when I saw it at my local shop and for a great price, I jumped at it. Don't sleep on this one.
Was a bit uncertain given few if any reviews available. Wine is very delicious, perfectly aged Bordeaux, great value. Typical aged Bordeaux notes upfront of cedar, tobacco evolving into cassis, blackberry, etc.
This wine nearly packs the density of a full Barolo. Give it some bottle age and you will be pleased with the end results!
Lots of good options, but a few hoped-for wines missing. As is common at open tastings a little crowding slowed the process. All in all, still a worthwhile event.
Enjoyed the choice and tasting.

Delicious
Pleasant wine for the proce but not really special.
It fun and informative!
Purchased this as a thank you for a friend. She loved it! Joe was very accommodating and made sure the order went smoothly from start to finish!
nothing like a Rose, unbalanced, brash, mixed up complexity, nothing delicate and lovely about it. It even has some oak in it that is just not right, too much.
Nerello Mascalese at its best. Burgundian in appearance and body with notes of cranberry and cherry on the nose. Best a day or two after opening.
A wine I never would have known or paid much attention to had it not been for Flatiron. Don’t be fooled by how light the wine is when you see it hit your glass. There is surprising body to this Italian red. Definitely a new fave that I will be savoring over the coming months.
Had this Barolo with grilled lamb burgers with feta and green beans. Tannins weren't overwhelming, but wine had the structure to hold up nicely to the lamb.
This very refreshing Gavi tastes more of the Ligurian coast than most Gavis I have tasted. The wine is lean, lemony, minerally, and a bit salty—reminds me of Verdicchio even though it is not a coastal wine. Perhaps with time in the cellar/fridge more complex fruit flavors would emerge. Works well as an aperitif and, I imagine, with fish like poached orata.
It’s not always easy to come by a Greco di Tufo at all and this one has the minerality plus the full rounded taste that I have trouble finding elsewhere. Perfect.
I like the cherry wine liquer and taste of blended gin. The vermouth was ‘rye’ and the company enthused. Thank you.
"opulent" was the word that we all agreed on. this is big and needs time; no surprise there.
Great customer service & very helpful!
