Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

Hazelnut gorgeousness on the nose drenches the senses followed by fleshy peaches and pears. Full-bodied, rich and luxurious with a toasty oak finish. Dive, what are you waiting for? Food matches: triple cream cheeses, grilled seafood, creamy pasta dishes.

Natalie who?
Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
