Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore Trento Brut Chardonnay 2009

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour alongside the 2005 vintage. The 2009 “Giulio Ferrari” pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with lovely notes of spiced apple, passion fruit, and white flowers. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and fresher than the 2005 vintage. Drink now. — 22 days ago

Sonoma County Chardonnay 2020

Easily one of my favorite Chardonnays. It starts strong with an apple tartness and fruity acidity that fades to mellow oaky undertones with a butterscotch creamy finish. Not overdoing the oak or butter. It's the full Chardonnay experience in waves. Every sip is like trying 3 different wines back to back and I love to savor it. — 2 months ago

Tenuta Sant'Antonio

Selezione Antonio Castagnedi Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2019

Dark ruby with aromas of blackberry, stewed red fruits, cedar/oak, and a bit of smoke. On the bud, it’s rich and full bodied with nice acidity. It has a slight tanginess with more red fruits. Of course, great with our pasta! — 2 months ago

Riserva Sant' Antonio Grumello Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2009

These are some of my favorite Mountain Nebbiolo. ArPePe actually ages the Riserva before releasing. — 4 days ago

Antonio Vallana e Figlio

Spanna Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo 2019

Wow, this is spectacular! Plenty of life ahead of it, too. The wine is a very pale brick color. It is fresh and vibrant, but beautifully complex. Red sour cherries, juicy and acidic, leather, mint, a little dust on the rose petals. Medium plus on the tannins. I would love to have this with a lot more age. Should be a great wine for a charcuterie spread, and at $19 I feel like a highway robber.

@Dave, I knew zippo about this producer until maybe 16-18 years ago. There was an importer/retailer east of California where I purchased bottles of 1996/2000/2003 Vallana wines, I have a few left, but they seem somewhat immortal (I guess Nebbiolo is the key). I also purchased four vintages of the early 2000s Wynns Black Label Cabs from the same source (all sub-US$15), which I thoroughly enjoyed — @Bob McDonald could fill in on what a bargain those wines always are!!!

@Doug Powers , your stories never disappoint, and I don't know how you can remember so many wines with such clarity. I can barely remember what I've had this year without looking at my notes.

@Doug Powers You are right Doug. Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world’s great wine bargains. Can’t remember exactly but now with a heritage of over 50 vintages.
