Tettimorra Barolo Nebbiolo 1999

Powerful, medium bodied Barolo, with lots of texture, exquisite notes of spice, dark fruit, and lively acidity. Delightful with pork loin, making for a memorable winter evening. — 9 years ago

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! — 10 years ago

Impossible to pick in a blind tasting, this is the best Brasilian wine I've tasted. With the spiciness of the Northern Rhône and the richness of a warmer climate, this is closest in style to the great Syrahs from Hawkes Bay's Gimblett Gravels. A real find. — 9 years ago

Terre di Giumara Sicilia IGT Nero d'Avola 2013

Big violet bouquet from this swarthy suitor. Ripe blackberry, cassis and eucalyptus and cinnamon-allspice plum follow. Black cherry, black plum, tobacco, cedar and cherrywood on the palate. This one's rich, so definitely overdo it. — 10 years ago

You aren’t David Kline from Montecito by any chance are you?

No. I used to work on the Island, but in art. Unless you mean Montecito near Santa Barbara, and again, no. Hope that guy isn't abusing the name. Cheers.

Trebulanum Terre del Volturno IGT Casavecchia 2012

Old school rustic Italian, quite dark fruited, salty. Medium body. Very tannic on the back end, very structured wine. Substantial acid. Needs a couple hours of air to come together and show properly. Pair with 🍝 for a pretty pretty good time. // turns into something special on day 2 — 8 years ago

I applaud your patience to get to day two on so many wines here.

@Jenks honestly, most red wine I drink these days I prefer on day 2. When I open a bottle I usually immediately decant half of it to my trusty 375, cork it, and stick it in the fridge. 2-3-4 days later these babies sing!

@Jenks the bigger, more conventional red wines I mean. The super natty, lighter / carbonic / no SO2 stuff doesn't usually hold up so I pound that. Heyo.

Timpune Sicilia Grillo 2013

This Sicilian Grillo has a soapy, earthy nose that leaps from the glass, obscuring the mango and apricot fruit aromas. It is uncompromisingly mineral-driven. The palate is also full of the earth from which it comes, with a savory salinity that runs through the white wines of the Italian islands. The wine has great structure, with acidity enough to handle most food pairings that come to mind for a white wine. — 10 years ago

200 Monges Reserva Selección Especial Rioja Tempranillo 2004

Decanted for two hours and then left in bottle for about 8 more hours and it still kept developing in the glass. Earthiness came through but wasn't harmonious at first but as the night progressed it became nicer and nicer. Maybe it should be opened up the night before to really see it at its true form. — 11 years ago
