Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2012
These used to be cheap - not any more 40$ for the new vintage this was 26$. Classic and super elegant. A ton of tannins left: 14%. Fermented dark olives. Dark cherries. Way better than the 2013 chianti reserva I popped for our italian dinner club. These are the wines kids should try - but hey our brillant marketing 🤡 priced them out of trying quality nebbiolo so they switch to cocktails and beer! Well done. Will go for 5-10 more years with ease. — 6 days ago

Fiore Vernaccia di San Gimignano 2023
Ok Galloni liked this 9.3 so I have to be serious. Someone made an effort to bring something good to the party. It is indeed light and pleasant, white flowers, no limes or lemons here, perhaps hint of white peach. Nice wine no doubt. — 5 days ago
Gattavecchi
Vernaccia di San Gimignano 2024
Not bad from (my guess Total &M) a gift. Apples and some tropical notes, pineapple & touch mango. A little light 13%. But hey for the money - very pleasant summer sipper. — 5 days ago
Castellani
St Giorgio Santovino Trebbiano Blend
More candy than wine. Could use more acidity. I don’t drink a lot of dessert wines so I lack a point of reference here. But this strikes me as a little flabby (non vintage). 16%. Very sweet. Lacks acidic backbone. — 5 days ago
Pinotman /// Andreas
One of the rare Cali Pinots which is not a fruit bomb. Mostly raspberry intermixed with cherry, touch chalk well balanced with good acidity and length. 13.5%. These used to be relatively reasonable priced now north of 70$. It’s a shame really. — 4 days ago
