Delicate, finesse, accessible and biodinamic.
#1 Glera – 499 grapes left
A crisp, balanced prosecco with a nice aroma, fruit forward and quite refreshing. First time trying it.
An Exploratory Tasting of Rieslings From Around The World
I make no secrets that my favorite white grape is Riesling. Ever since my first conscious encounter with it almost 8 years ago I knew it to be love at first gulp. Since then I’ve continued to enjoy it but for the past few years I’ve been wanting to explore and compare how this noble…
Grape VS Grape: Chardonnay (Spain & Australia)
How can the same grape create such different results depending on the location where it was cultivated? There are those that say it’s the terroir, others claim it’s the weather conditions, others award the responsibility solely to the winemakers. If we can use humans as an example of how while being ‘the same‘ we can…
Tasting of Ambrosia Fine Wines At The House
When I was a kid, there was nothing more amazing than putting some money in a vending machine and by cheer happenstance getting two items for the price of one. I”m obviously amplyfing it. Missing school was more amazing. But as an adult, going to a wine event and on the way out encountering a…

Road To 500 Grapes: #3 Pinot Noir (Legends/Alternate RT500 Multiverse)
As you probably have noticed, I’m taking the ‘Big Ones’ out early because there is so much availability of them, so afterwards we can focus on the more difficult grapes. Pinot Noir if I had to define it in one word I would say it’s a treat. Now that I’ve reduced it to one word,…
Famille Perrin: A Night of Rhones and Rose At The House
One of the great things for those who enjoy wine nuances is that every year you have something new to explore because not two vintages are exactly the same. So experiences to listen and discuss with brand ambassadors are an essential part for the curious aficionado. In Puerto Rico we are never short of such…
Joseph Phelps Backus – Three Decades in Twelve Bottles (1981-2004)
I truly am one lucky son of a…wine connoisseur. Not only is it a great bonding experience with my old man and some of his friends, which some have become my friends, other acquaintances, but I get invited to try truly magnificent wines that are simply recherché. This was one such case. If there is…
