Wine Reviews
Misty Cove Gruner Veltliner Marlborough 2019
Brilliant, medium green/gold color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of spring flowers, quince, and kiwi with supporting notes of citrus zest, honeysuckle, and fresh cut hay. The palate confirms the nose delivering a tropical fruits-driven core with flavors of ripe pineapple, Asian pear, kumquat, grapefruit, and slate. The finish is long and lingering. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant texture with generous, lush fruit. $15.99 – 4 Stars/92 points
Spirits Reviews
Grinta Amaro di Erbe
Brilliant, deep emerald green color. The aromatics are quite assertive, offering lovely scents of fresh peppermint, eucalyptus, and chamomile, with supporting notes of rhubarb, bitter root, and wild flowers. The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering silky, semisweet herbal core redolent of green Chartreuse meeting a fragrant Gin in all its glory. Medium to full-bodied with incredible complexity, length, and balance. $39 – 4 Stars
Rossi d’Angera Spitz Genziana Liqueur
Brilliant, deep golden amber color. The nose is wonderfully floral with sweet herbs, earth, complex citrus accents ranging from orange peel, grapefruit, lemon, and lime. The palate echoes the nose delivering a more bitter than sweet herbal core with waves of citrus and earthy root notes that build on the long finish. Medium-bodied with amazingly complex aromatics and flavors punctuated but a generous dose of natural acidity making it an ideal aperitif. Beautifully expressive while being drier than its French counterparts. $29.99 – 4.5 Stars
