The #Trebbiano grape,hardly ever great,unless made by the KING Valentini or the Prince Pepe,but,if you want to get an honest taste of this mysterious grape,I urge you to taste,the well priced 22 #BiodiversityFriends,straw color,aroma of dry apricot,wet grass&citron,flavorful&fun!

HUGE fan of the terroir driven vins of #DomainedelaTourduBon in #Bandol,their rose,made w/#Mourvedre #Grenache #Cinsault & #clairette,bright/pink/brick color,seductive aroma of fraise,sea breeze,griotte,saffron & melted butter,fairly full body for a rose,built to last,serious vin

Once again,my son Luchino turned me on to another terrific #Champagne,#RousseauxBatteux #BlancdeNoir GrandCru,a blend of 2 vintages,19&20,vinified in oak,goldfish color,tiny bubbles but the aromas of red #Burgundy,yellow cherry,gold framboise & orange zest,bone dry & so flavorful

Where has been this wonderful grape all my life?The 24 ⁦@UmaniRonchiVino⁩ #Bianchello Del Me Tauro #Fortunae,lite straw color,abundant aromas of Comice pear,passionfruit,lemongrass & honey blossom,medium body,rich but w/refreshing edge to it,w/Key lime & Granny Smith flavor

The stubbornly youthful 95 #ChateauDucruBeaucaillou shall make a lucky collector happy in 20yr,right now is to be admired,more than enjoyed,nevertheless,it is an impressive claret,opaque color,shy,high class aroma of cassis,lead pencil & tobacco leaf,full & elegant,just wonderful

Watching #WitnessForTheProsecution by the Maestro #BillyWilder for the 100th time,& once again,reconfirms to me,that #CharlesLaughton is the greatest non method actor in the history of cinema,his brilliance is unsurpassed,always a total joy to watch,in any of his films,BRILLIANT!

Minimal intervention beauty from #Mallorca🇪🇸20 #TheIslandSyndicate by 4Kilos,made w/#Callet #MantoNegro & #Fogoneu grapes,deep ruby,spicy aromas of pickled cherries,tamarind,preserved Guava & Sichuan peppercorn,medium body,nice texture,w/pomegranate & sour orange flavors,terrific

@Gibboanxious Under Fire.

Not a big fan of 13 red #Burgundy but this #DomaineHenriGouge #NuitsStGeorges #Vaucrains was outstanding,youthful deep ruby color,timid but complex aromas of griotte,fraise de bois,tobacco,mineral,orange zest,tarragon & cedar,medium body,GrandCru elegance,harmonious & savory,WOW!

You may say,how uncreative,another portraiture show,but the #FromCassatttoWarhol ⁦@AcquavellaArt⁩ is a splendid exhibit,my favorites were,an exquisite #HenriMatisse,an interesting homage to #Picasso by #TomSachs, colorful beauty by #WayneThiebaud & #AlbertoGiacometti,a must

@Sallan9 😘

@audrey_oliveros Great question, most likely Clos Cibonne. 💖

Hard to believe that this vin is 21yr+,03 #ChateauMontrose,opaque color,abundant aromas of wild black&red berries,graphite,Havana,toffee,licorice,kirsch & a kiss of vanilla,extremely full body,opulent,lovely texture,w/citrus & pomegranate overtones,soft tannins,needs 50yrs,SUPERB

@TheExtremeMusi1 @GAltringham Stevie Wonder.

My first tasting of #Maturana grape & hopefully not my last,21 #LaHalconera by #MarquesdeCaceres,a #Rioja for the 21Century,crimson color,high class aroma of maraschino,wild herb,Madagascar peppercorn,cocoa,membrillo & cedar,medium body,harmonious & flavorful,like a great #Chinon

Never been a fan but in the difficult 03 vintage,#PavillonBlancduChateauMargaux is quite lovely,this overpriced 100% #SauvignonBlanc,avoided all the heat of the yr,& produced a lively & crispy #vin,lite straw color,grassy aromas,w/green apple,apricot & tarragon,nice flavors,tasty

Breathtaking #CyTwonbly ⁦@Gagosian⁩,mostly paintings & drawings,on the first floor,his classic,scrabble paintings but on the floor below,majestic works,filled w/passion,some reminded me of the black paintings of #Goya,w/a bit of the turbulent seas of J.M.W. Turner,AWESOME⭐️
