Wine Recommendation Game - If I Like This Wine, What Else Would I Like

[Keith_Levenberg]

Any recommendations for Bernard Levet Cote Rotie?

Champet Cote-Rotie

[J.Vizuete]

I recently really enjoyed a Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet (Hervé Souhaut) Syrah. Any recommendations on similar producers?

Dard et Ribo St. Joseph, although they tend to be a modest % more expensive.

[Paul_abbott]

On a broader theme I like Cabernet Franc, and think some Mencia have a similar weight and freshness.

[LasseK1]

I’ll go first.

I’m looking for recommendations for each of the following wines:

Zind-Humbrecht Muscat
Montevertine
Occhipinti Frappato

Montevertine → Tenuta di Carleone?

[LasseK1]

If the goal is to find less expensive alternatives with similar flavors or “spirit”, what immediately springs to mind are the big names. Wines that I am most curious about, that I just can’t afford are Haut Brion, Rayas, and Soldera. The tasting notes on these wines make me insanely curious, and would love to know what “poor-man’s” versions might be.

Rayas → Chateau Des Tours… and I am only half kidding, because Reynaud’s wines has such a DNA that you will get some of the experience at all levels.

Montevertine
I Would say that Salvioni is alot alike Montevertine
Very elegant with deep delicious fruit

I like Gonon. Suggestions?

2019 Halcon Las Alturas!
I think of Domaine Faury’s VV as a pretty darn similar drink at ~1/3 the price

[Alex_N]

Salinia Saint Marigold Chardonnay.

[Mattstolz]

Would like some recs based off my liking of:
Piedrasassi PS SBC Syrah
Bedrock OVZ
PYCM BB
Mousse Fils Terre d’Illite BdN 2012 Champagne

Piedrasassi and Pax fall in a similar category for my tastes.

Bedrock OVZ: bedrock and Ridge are my comparisons. take your pick of three valleys or a lot of their other multi site blends.

I have some 2014 and 2015 Alturas. But 2019 is not available in Europe at the moment it seems.

And funnily enough then there is not a single hit on Faury VV in Europe with winesearcher pro, but a ton in the US. Not sure if most of it is exported to the US?

I have a vague recollection of the wines being named differently in Europe.

[Mariano_Chiaramonte]

I like Gonon. Suggestions?

If you can afford to drink Gonon on a daily bases then stick to it, but if (like in my case) that’s not an option, then Jean-Claude Marsanne could be your daily drinker “baby” Gonon.

[Mariano_Chiaramonte]

Zind-Humbrecht Muscat

Müller-Catoir Muskateller Spätlese trocken
Nicola del Negro Muscat Chambave (Valle d’Aosta)

Well that might explain it

Even if I had the money (I don’t), then I am not sure where I would find an allocation that could support me in drinking Gonon every day

Just for fun, let’s try with Paolo Bea

[K_N_Haque]

For the whites, the Conoebium wines from Lazio, which of course Bea consults on.

Yes, I have some of those and if I’m not mistaken he also consults for a Sicilian producer but I haven’t tried those yet.
