Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Consumers love Pinot Gris, as evidenced by the phenomenal Pinot Grigio sales that Italy enjoys in this country. However, check out Breggo's 2009 Pinot Gris. There are just und...

Burghound: A fresh, ripe and moderately complex nose features mostly red berry fruit and distinct earth notes that complement well the absolutely delicious flavors that are balanced, int...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Pale yellow. Mineral-accented pear and tangerine aromas are enlivened by white pepper and white flowers. Refreshingly bitter citrus pith and quince flavors gain depth with a...

Wine Enthusiast: Lanson's Black Label is one of the most familiar Champagne brands, well known for its rich but dry style. It needs some bottle age-as has happened with this bottling-to soften...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Calera's 2011 Pinot Noir Central Coast wafts from the glass with freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries and mint. This is a fairly laid-back vintage for the wine, with less of...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright ruby-red. Cassis, bitter chocolate, licorice and spices on the nose. Juicy, spicy and nicely delineated, with a restrained sweetness to the flavors of plum and curran...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Even better is the blend of 50% Roussanne, 35% Viognier and the rest Grenache blanc, the 2010 Lou Coucardie blanc. Light gold, with intense honeyed, waxy, citrus blossom notes...

Bob Campbell, MW: Impressive wine with more fruit sweetness and intensity than the Left Field label. Very seductive Syrah that delivers dark berry, plum and black pepper with energy and focus. ...
