Reviews
2011 Kalinda Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
Review Date: 3-20-2013
This is exactly what I expect out of a Sonoma Pinot Noir: clean bright red fruits with lift along the palate and an elegant yet structured backbone. I’m guessing somebody got in trouble for pricing this at the absurd $19 sticker price, should be more like $25+. From grilled salmon, roasted pork loin to pizza and a winner with vegetarian dishes too, this wine covers all of the bases. One of the best Kalinda wines to date!
Price: $18.99
2011 Joh. Jos. Prüm Riesling Kabinett
Review Date: 1-31-2013
Bright tropical fruits with cool mint herbs and subtle minerals. This is a classic style of Mosel Kabinett from the Prum estate. Juicy aromatics with nicely a textured and balanced mouth feel with really nice backing acidity which lets this linger on the palate. Perfect gateway wine to the rest of the portfolio.
Price: $18.99
Charles Baur Cremant d'Alsace Brut Rosé
Review Date: 1-28-2009
How can you go wrong with a rosé sparkler—especially under the $15 mark? Made from Pinot Noir, this is jam-packed with crunchy red fruits and spicy strawberry sweetness. Delightful on its own, as an aperitif, with a first course salad, or with a plate of cheese and a hearty loaf of fresh-baked bread.
Price: $19.99
