Ca' Marcanda Magari Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2010
Elegant, refined Bolgheri Bordeaux blend. Well balanced, lithe, with strong minerality. A sophisticated wine. — 10 years ago
Graziano Prà
Monte Grande Soave Classico Garganega 2011
A little rounder than I remember but still very solid. — 10 years ago
Ca' del Grifone
1967 Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2009
Cheap and cheerful Italian red from Trader Joes. A blend that's primarily Sangiovese, it's pretty subtle and doesn't leave that powerful red tang on the finish. Slightly dry, certainly not complex, but quaffable. — 12 years ago
Bodegas Riojanas
Monte Real Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 1973
1973: Beautiful bottle. Wines like this make everyone stop and take notice. The color was clear and light. Arresting nose full of plums and roasted beets. The depth of flavor and long finish was in contrast with the appearance. Really a fine experience, only second to the few times I had the 1952 Mont Real. — 9 years ago
Ca' La Bionda
Casal Vegri Valpolicella Classico Superiore Corvina Blend 2012
Graceful cherry and raspberry fruit as it opens up. Medium bodied with a dash of woody tannins in finish. A little bit of black tea. Loamy and savory in nose but brighter fruit expression on palate. This like Reggie Bush, not producing a lot on the field but seductive off it. — 10 years ago
Seghesio Family Vineyards
Monte Rosso Zinfandel 2011
Kelly's favorite so far — 12 years ago
Rivera
Riserva Il Falcone Castel del Monte Rosso 2009
Any wine that can shine from a plastic cup deserves extra kudos. Mistook for a Northern nebbiolo with its structure, detail, & balance, but the fruit is pure southern, pomegranate & black currants. Eye opener (esp for 30$ list). Want to re taste in proper stemware. I think 80% nero di trioa 20% montulpiciano — 9 years ago

True Biale wine...pronounced Moon Mountain fruit without question. Strong and dense as you would expect from Biale/Moon Mt. Black raspberry, hints of molasses and pepper on the mid palette. Finishing with a zingy cherry, mocha and baking spice. Recommend another year in the bottle. — 9 years ago
