Saturday Wine Tasting w/ Frank
Terras Gauda Abadía de San Campio Albariño 2024 (91 pts, Wine Spectator) – “A vibrant, layered white, with creamy texture animated by nouthwatering, tangerine-infused acidity and an undercurrent of salinity. It offers flavors of kiwi fruit, green almond, melon and lemon oil that expand nicely through the herb- and spice-laced finish.” BUY NOW
Banfi 2025 La Pettegola Rosé – Pale pink with subtle violet hues, this rosé offers fresh fruit aromas and delicate floral notes. Vibrant acidity balances a soft, enveloping texture, finishing long and slightly saline. BUY NOW
Quinta Sardonia 2023 Sardón Red – Juicy red fruits with hints of thyme and lavender. Fresh, balanced, and supremely easy to drink. BUY NOW
Torbreck Cuvée Juveniles 2022 (94 pts, Robert Parker) – “A blend of grenache and mataro, with some counoise and cinsault, aged in old oak barrels. It bristles with strawberry-red and black currant flavors, their sweet generosity contrasting the tarry savor of the tannins. The wine is bold, with a gracious spice that one taster described as marzipan curry.” BUY NOW
Bodegas Salentein 2022 Reserve Cabernet Franc – Ruby red with aromas of roasted red pepper, black pepper, and a hint of mint. Silky tannins frame ripe black fruit flavors, leading to a long, smooth finish. BUY NOW
