Update: September 22, 2016: I saved a bottle for my birthday, which I celebrated one day late. And I didn't share. In the glass it shows a hint of pink. On the nose I found a floral apricot, and in the mouth, it retains the amazing peach flavor I loved upon release but seems softer, and the yeast flavor has almost completely integrated. It paired beautifully with my entire breakfast, but most especially the bacon and the caramel coffee cake that I indulged in! I can hardly wait until you bring us more this year, Wayne! Thank you for making such a treat for us!! Original review (November 2015): Wonderfully lush sparkling wine. What a beautiful treat this is: full of peach and apricot with a hint of yeast and lovely tiny bubbles. I could sip this all day! I love how soft it feels in the mouth. I started cooking for Thanksgiving early in the morning and decided to finally have some breakfast around 10:45. I popped open the Eponina Lush, poured myself a glass, and cooked some curried scrambled eggs, then sat down to enjoy my breakfast. I don't think I could have paired this better! The softness of the eggs enhanced the softness of the wine, and the Indian curry spices made the stone fruit flavors explode in the mouth. Soft, fruity, and light. It's possibly the best sparkling wine I've ever tasted! Thank you Wayne for a delicious Thanksgiving treat!

Wow! I absolutely love this wine. Before Naked Wines I found Pinot Noir to be light and watered down. This Pinot has turned my opinions on their heads. It has a wonderful freshness with beautiful cherry and blueberry flavors. On the back of the tongue is a wonderful flavor reminiscent perhaps of vanilla and cinnamon. The finish is smooth and fruity with a sensation of raspberry. I am in love with a Pinot Noir, with its fruit and freshness, like a mouthful of homemade jam. I'm getting more!

I'm in heaven, Jim. I love the raisiny, caramely flavor. This wine has the intensity of sweet dried fruits and candy. It is sweet berries, raisins, prunes, and medjool dates with a lingering taste of caramel. Yes, this is sweet like a port would be with sugar on the ending and the barest hint of alcohol heat in your throat. It is a deep red, almost black in the glass, and the scent of brandy wafts gently from the glass. It has the freshness of lingering raspberries without any hint of bitterness. I can only imagine how incredibly rich this wine will be after aging for 10-20 years. It is so deliciously decadent that I doubt it will last long enough around me to age, but I will try. Jim, I recommend holding back bottles of this one and releasing a few every year for the next 5-10 years so that those of us who are impatient can still experience the joys of this as it ages.

I love this wine. It has tons of wonderful tropical fruits and a hint of salt spray on the back of the tongue. It is gloriously light and yummy, and I need more! This one is super refreshing with a clean finish. Yummy! This is my first NZ Pinot Gris, and I highly recommend it. Love, love, love!

Ken and Derek Dry Creek Valley Sonoma County Zinfandel 2014

Update 8/3/16: I have been holding onto a couple bottles of this for the past 8 months. They moved with me from Las Vegas to Seattle, lived in a storage unit, a kitchen cupboard, and my wine cabinet, and have survived a few 80 degree days over the past few weeks. It was time to let one go free, so I opened a bottle, cooked some homemade mac n cheese and sipped away. Smooth bacon flavored fruits met my tongue! Yup, bacon, my favorite food group! Not sure how bacon snuck into my bottle but I'll take it! The beautiful jammy fruits have softened, and the wine is well-integrated. So happy I still have another to taste with the 2015 when it arrives! Thanks Ken and Derek! Original review: This is ZIN! Great jammy fruit without being a fruit bomb. It is the most beautiful deep red in the glass, like dark Bing cherries. It tastes of tart red and dark berries, oak, and spice with a hint of vanilla. Dry with plenty of tannins for aging. This Zin is delicious right now, but it will only get better with some time in the bottle. It pairs well with meaty and spicy dishes. It's also yummy on its own! I love my wines fruit forward but complex, and this fits the bill. In fact, I love this one so much I think Ken and Derek should change the name to Michellepleazin!

Updated December 2017 (I succeeded in keeping this one for TWO years—miracles do occur): Amazing wine right out of the bottle. I am enjoying this with homemade pizza, and it has blossomed into a complex and balanced wine. The bitterness from the oak brings out a sweetness in the pizza (as it is homemade, I know there is zero sweetener in any of the ingredients), and the pizza brings out the fruit in the wine. I would pit this against any fine Burgundy. If you happen to have any lying around, pull it out for the holidays. It is ready! And it is a full five hearts! Original review: This wine has magical properties! First of all, it turned me into a Pinot lover! I have found pinots to be kind of wimpy in the past, but not this one. Second, it is a beautiful red with pink edges in the glass. In fact, somehow it is my favorite shade of dark pink! Third, the grapes magically transformed into dark Bing cherries somewhere between the vines and my glass. Fourth, even though this wine is in the first flush of youth, it has a smoothness and complexity normally seen later in life. I not only find this to be an excellent Pinot Noir, both for sipping and for pairing with homemade mac and cheese, it also stands up to any red wine I've tasted. I gave it 4 1/2 hearts, because I believe this wine has room to grow in the bottle, and I will revisit my review after letting this one mature for several months to a few years (the true magical feat will be finding the patience to hold onto this for a year or more).

I'm really digging your PG! I love its boldness and ripe tropical flavors! It's a lovely golden color and has an enticing smell of tropical fruits that becomes the taste of tropical fruits. Pineapple is most noticeable, along with a light touch of lemon, which lingers somewhat in the finish. The wine is dry and can be enjoyed throughout a range of temperatures, although the fruit flavors become more pronounced as it warms in the glass. At 13% alcohol, it's robust for a white wine. Yum! I want more! Thanks for making this lovely wine, JC!

David Akiyoshi Sangiovese Rose Lodi 2014

Yum. I opened this bottle only a few hours after my case arrived because I was so excited to try it, and it didn't disappoint me. It is a beautiful warm pink in the glass. While this rose has lovely fresh strawberry flavor, it is not sweet. Instead, it is slightly tart, with a backbone of acid. The strawberry flavor lingers on the tongue as a dry freshness. I preferred this rose closer to room temperature in order to bring out the flavors of the grapes. I loved this wine. Just updated my rating to 5 stars. I was so sad to finish this bottle, and I'm hoarding the next one. This wine tasted better and better each day and paired amazingly well with creamy chicken Dijon. It has layers of flavor that express themselves at different temperatures and with different pairings. Must buy more!

I found this wine delicious and drinkable. It is the first Rose I have ever liked. It has the most pleasant and refreshing taste and feel that survives well after the wine is no longer in your mouth. It is light and slightly fruity but not sweet. I would drink this every day if I could!

This wine really opened up after decanting for a few days. It became lush and lost the initial tightness. It paired so well with spicy pepperoni pizza, too. Lovely fruits in this one.

Saved this bottle from my first case to enjoy on my birthday and so glad I did! It is beautifully light with lovely tiny bubbles. It fizzes lightly on the tongue with soft fruits at the beginning and citrusy flavor at the end and feels refreshing. Couldn't stop myself from pouring more than one glass. Delicioso!

The Michauds hit it out of the park every year with their Riesling, and I savored every drop of this one too!! Lovely off-dry white with stone fruit flavors. I’d love to age this one, but it’s too hard to keep my hands off my other bottles. Plus, my friends clamor for it every year!! Thank you Katy and Justin!!!!
