Spaghetti dinner with guests, big hit! — 7 years ago
Great balance between the yeasty, nutty aromas and apple, mineral notes. Super fine bubbles, creamy texture followed by a precise acidity that cleans everything up perfectly. Thinking I'll need a magnum of this for New Years... — 10 years ago
Nestled between stellar vintages (2004 & 2006) is this 2005 star. I was able to find discounted at Sam's Club! Like all Brunello's, you must decant for at least 30 minutes. Once you do, the consistently 90+ rated pedigree emerges that will make an event or evening more memorable. There are more expensive Italian wines, but a bottle of Casanova di Neri Tenuta Nuova has never disappointed. Cheers! — 10 years ago
This is the "baby" wine made from the grapes that aren't good enough for the main event. Good enough for me! — 11 years ago
WNH event number 3...new world Pinot. Such a treat to experience the many different variations of Pinot!
The most Burgundian styled Pinot of the night. I thought it was fantastic, and still has another few years to get even better. No candied notes, more underripe red fruit (cherry and rhubarb), potpourri, graphite on the nose. Acidity is great. Not quite lean, but not a fruit bomb Pinot. Sage and herbal. Awesome, @Joe Lucca . — 7 years ago
Lovely deep fruit. Very intense and coiled steel with buckets of minerality and drive. There’s a whiff of stewed apple here. I see premox on the horizon, but this is fun now. Should be better in 5 years but certainly not this bottle. — 7 years ago
Tasted and purchased at a Morton’s wine event. OK wine but won’t seek it out. Had with chicken and artichoke. — 8 years ago
Tastes so much like grape juice, if you can get past the fact that it doesn't taste much like wine it's wonderful!!! Super tasty. — 9 years ago
Had once again on November 8, 2015 after trying it at a wine tasting event — 10 years ago
Still very young. Strong and powerful, has a long way to go. Sunny met the owner Melanie Tesseron at a wine event sponsored by ASC here in Shanghai. 2010 vintage. — 11 years ago

WNH event number two. Rhône varietal wines with TX BBQ...a match made in Heaven!
Another leftover bottle from last night’s Italian theme. Obviously super young, but in the name of research, it was fun to see how this tastes...this is a big and structured Tig. Almost bruising right now. Toes the line between underripe and herbal and fruit forward in style. There is mocha, fig, cocoa dusted bay leaf, and blackberries on the nose. Big on the palate with more dark cocoa shavings, a rich black cherry liqueur and a unique licorice and oregano finish. Give this some time before it becomes a knockout. Thanks for bringing @Mike R ! — 7 years ago

Another surprise of the night for me. I’ve only had their Syrahs before. Lots of crushed potpourri and underripe red fruit on the nose with a darker palate of violets, black cherry and plum. I need to get some of these. Awesome bottle, @Bill Bender . — 7 years ago
