Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2009

Was going to bring this to Tom and Caroline's for the barbaque... Brought a 2009 Cakebread Cab and one of my recent favorites a 2004 Bran Caia... The Bran Caia just ROCKS; 50% Sangiovese, 45% Merlot and 5% Cab... You barely recognize it to be Italian... It is yummy!!! — 11 years ago

Medici Ermete

Concerto Reggiano Lambrusco

Authentic Italian rambrusco. Light fluffy intake, beautiful mouthfeel, medium to medium plus acidity. I would venture to say that the tannicity is near perfect and the way the bubbles interact with my foreskin is divine. High quality producer but this bottle was clearly a siesta production. Bottled by a lonely Italian man with low T and a firm backhand. Pairs well with fresh cakebread and dip spit — 10 years ago

Mmm... What more can I say? Superfluous tannins may be initially discouraging, but they wonderfully compliment effervescent notes of honey and sour watermelon jolly ranchers. The nose is sluggish with goat meat. Medium plus acidity from a questionable producer. Others Ramblusco's oughten to follow the lead here.

This sparkling rambusco is a great addition to any gathering of friends or Italian midgets stuck in an elevator on the 57th floor of the Empire State Building. The full body yet light weight fizz give the almost necessary twist on diet dr. Pepper, taking you on a gaseous journey of solitude. Pairs magically with hot milk and goat cheese stuffed pig hooves. Producer quality is questionable.
