@Palmer Emmitt Hi Bud! I'll look this one up! If you say it's good then its golden in my book!
By the way., you should not be so humble! Uncork your 2011 Georges & post it!!!!
One of the absolute best 2011's I have ever had......ever! I'm not bullshitting. I haven't posted it yet because I haven't received my allocation due to high temps in S. FL.
It was my favorite during our tasting and I can't wait to get the case I ordered.
All kidding aside guys.., call him tomorrow's and order it before it's gone. Truly insanely lush. Awesomeness in a glass & by far the absolutely BEST priced Georges Cab in Napa. I literally dare you to find me one that is better. Yes......it's that good! Call Palmer Emmitt for pricing info on a case purchase. I've never led you wrong on a wine. Trust me on this one! It's the undiscovered gem 💎 in Napa.

Casa Vinicola Apollonio

Terragnolo Salento IGT Primitivo 2010

Told the oenophobe boyfriend to grab a bottle of Primitivo. Not wanting to disappoint the oenophile girlfriend, he came home with this and I could tell from the second I opened it, it would have a beautiful spice and finish. Boy did it. Yum yum yum. We had it with a honey-glaze roast chicken and it was utterly seductive! — 8 years ago

Monte Real Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 1973

Paul Costigan
9.5

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. — 8 years ago
