| 1. | ‘Gradual’ Douro Doc 2022 (Douro, Portugal) Nice rich palate, not as rich as Amarone, and balanced puckering finish. Apparently the Douro Valley is where Port originates from. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 2. | ‘Laguezzelle’ B. Taillandier, Minervois 2024 (Languedoc-Roussillon, France) Tasty, light red best served chilled. Perfectly balanced dryness. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 3. | A Table!!! Rose, Mas del Perie (Cahors, France) Meaty rose made with skin contact with Malbec, Merlot, and Tannat. Slight acidity. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 4. | Arenisca Los Pilones Tinto, Cantalapiedra Viticultores 2023 (Toro, Spain) Made with a clone of Tempranillo. Quite dry, dark fruit notes, lovely bouquet. Amy loves almost as much as Amarone. Stef just likes, not loves. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 5. | Brana Ilori “les jonquilles” 2021 (Irouleguy, France) Apparently nice whites also come out of this this French Basque region! Will need to try another bottle to get tasting notes. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 6. | Cantina Furtani ‘Maddie’ Rosso 2024 (Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy) 100% Schiava, I like it more than any Beaujolais I’ve ever had! Stef also loves. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 7. | Cremant du Jura, Domaine Desire Petit (Jura, France) Very tasty bubbly. Too apple-y for Amy. | Wine | love | Stefan | |
| 8. | Cristom Pinot Noir Louise Vineyard 2017 (Oregon) Tasty tasty pinot, had with the baxters and lambers in oct ‘26 over ribeyes. Would drink again. | Wine | love | Stefan | |
| 9. | Domaine Ilarria Red 2022 (Irouleguy, France) Medium body | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 10. | Extra Brut Vouvray, Domaine du Facteur (Vouvray, Loire) 100% Chenin Blanc bubbly made in Champagne style. Stef loves this bubbly; Amy thinks it tastes like cider. | Wine | love | ||
| 11. | Foradori Teroldego Red, Azienda Agricola Foradori 2024 (Trentino, Italy) Second time we’ve had this wine, this time from Lovat. First time, Paul at Eighth & Driggs recommended it, and we still like. Just tastes like a classic Italian red. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 12. | Getariako Txakolina, Gañeta 2025 (País Vasco, Spain) One of the best whites we’ve had. Very tasty. Amy thinks it’s borderline apple-juicy but has enough minerality in the foreground that makes it nice. | Wine | love | Stefan | |
| 13. | J. Mourat Collection Rose 2025 (Loire, France) Full bodied classic crowd pleasing rose. Would have again. | Wine | love | Stefan | |
| 14. | Le Facteur Su’l’Velo, Domaine du Facteur (Vouvray, Loire) 100% Chenin Blanc made on limestone, so chalky. Fresh, and punchier in the front. Fabien Brutout said the limestone was sourced from a castle. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 15. | Les Acacias, Mas del Perie (Cahors, France) 100% Malbec, young, spicy with dark fruit flavor. Fabien Jouves said his wines are like tea infusions- diffusion over time does the work. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 16. | Little James’ Basket, Château de Saint Cosme (Languedoc, France) viognier blend | Wine | love | Stefan | |
| 17. | Maceration, Domaine du Facteur (Vouvray, Loire) Dry white; mix of Chenin Blanc and Sauv Blanc. Punchy in the back. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 18. | Manzanilla ‘Deliciosa’, Valdespino (Andalusia, Spain)) Second time having it, fresh fortified wine needs to make an appearance at least a couple times a year. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 19. | Morandina Amarone Della Valpolicella, Pra 2018 (Veneto, Italy) Curious to try this alongside the Speri to compare. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 20. | Naked Orange, Heinrich 2024 (Burgenland, Austria) I don’t know if it’s because I had the Spanish bretty (Brettomyces) orange last week, and so I love this for being far more palatable. Natural skin contact white blend. Stef says there a touch of funk, but I think the light funk is what makes natural wines interesting, the light brandy quality to it. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 21. | Petit Cochon Bronze, Rimbert 2025 (Languedoc-Rousillon, France) Classic rose with a lovely finish. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 22. | Speri Vigneto Monte Sant'Urbano AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA 2018 (Veneto, Italy) Wonderful Italian red!! Super tasty. | Wine | love | Stefan | |
| 23. | Tu Vins Plus Aux Soirées, Mas del Perie (Cahors, France) Light red that is ridiculously drinkable. Fabien Jouves said this is the one to drink as you cook, put in the food, and drink with the food. Delightful light table red. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 24. | Turley Juvenile Zinfandel 2024 (Napa, California) Extremely drinkable napa zinfandel. Medium to full bodied but modest. Drinks closer to a cab without being overwhelming. Both Stefan & Amy enjoy. Recommended by Jamie at Lovat in fall of ‘26 and had with a nice pasta. | Wine | love | Stefan | |
| 25. | Txakolina Blanco, the Bodegas Aizpurua 2025 (Basque Country, Spain) Very tasty white, minerally, fruity | Wine | love | Stefan | |
| 26. | Beaujolais Villages "La Roche", Domaine Michele Tete 2024 (Beaujolais, France) I borderline love it, classic Beaujolais. Stef finds it a bit dry. | Wine | decent | Amy | |
| 27. | Coteaux Bourguignons Les Paquiers, Vincent Paindavoine 2023 (Burgundy, France) We don’t really like burgundy wines, too subtle. This was a competent execution of an early release from Vincent Paindavoine. | Wine | decent | Stefan | |
| 28. | Days Blanc, Brianne Day 2025 (Oregon) Floral wine. On the sweet side according to Stef, but Amy’s learning she like floral accents to beer and wine. | Wine | decent | Amy | |
| 29. | El Marciano Vino de la Tierra de Castilla, Alfredo Maestro (Castilla y León, Spain) | Wine | decent | Stefan | |
| 30. | Marghe Nebbiolo, Cantine Damilano 2018 (Langhe, Piedmont) | Wine | decent | Stefan | |
| 31. | Minervois ‘Origine’, Chateau Massaic 2023 Very tasty, decent+, had on Halloween at Lovat with Amy. Competent, tasty, but we have a lot of great wine at this point! Try again. | Wine | decent | Stefan | |
| 32. | Mon P'tit Camion Blanc, Vignoble Simian (Southern Rhône/ Provence, France) Very approachable white with a hint of sweetness. Little more sweet than Stefan might like. Amy likes. | Wine | decent | Amy | |
| 33. | Muller Thurgau, Weingut Borell-Diehl 2025 (Pfalz, Germany) Floral, might be a love. | Wine | decent | Amy | |
| 34. | Pages Content Blanc, Toni Carbo La Salada (Catalonia, Spain) Orange wine; very much an acquired taste. Tastes overripe, armpit-y at first taste, but better with subsequent sips. | Wine | decent | Stefan | |
| 35. | Reserva Tinto, Mouro 2020 (Alentejo, Portugal) Very tasty medium body Portuguese red. Not quite a love but very competent. Had on Halloween in ‘26 at Lovat as the sun dipped beneath the roofs of Chestnut Hill with Amy. Chilly, 60, with Kai sleeping beneath the table. | Wine | decent | Stefan | |
| 36. | Ribera del Duero Roble, Bodegas Valderiz 2024 (Castilla y León, Spain) Quite dry, quite tannic. Would want this in the depths of winter with chocolates. | Wine | decent | Amy | |
| 37. | Viognier, Chateau Massaic 2025 (Languedoc, France) Apple-y nose. Floral, but not as floral as Days Blanc. | Wine | decent | Amy | |
| 38. | Vira Cabecas Tinto, Cabeças do Reguengo (Portalegre, Alentejo, Portugal) Very tasty Portuguese red, not quite love. May be because we are sitting under Lovat’s porch “overhang” in the rain. Oct ‘26. | Wine | decent | Stefan | |
| 39. | Woop Woop Cabernet, Ben Riggs 2021 (South Australia) Decent red, very drinkable. Had with Baxters and Lamberw in oct ‘26 over ribeye. | Wine | decent | Stefan |
