Fontanafredda

Gavi del Comune di Gavi Cortese 2016

Pear, apple, peach on the nose. Body is medium minus. Acidity is medium minus. Apple, pear, unripened pineapple dominate the palate. The wine is young, vibrant, and has excellent citrus. Delicious with a bit of Genoa salami. — 7 years ago

Marchesi de' Frescobaldi

Lucente La Vite Toscana SuperTuscan Blend 2013

I knew I was going to enjoy this immediately, but it took a 45 minute meander before it really got there. Modern, but maintains an authentic SuperTuscan style, if that can actually be a thing... suffice to say, I wouldn't call it international, but oak and ripe fruit make their presence known. Plush, dark fruit of a medium weight meets lively acidity, with a noticeable, but not imposing amount of tannin. The balance helps draw your focus to the secondary notes of Genoa and even Finocchiona, along with plenty of spices, and tertiary cedar and cocoa powder. — 8 years ago

Château Pichon-Longueville Baron

Baron de Pichon-Longueville Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1966

I have to toot my own horn a little on the cork removal gymnastics I performed here. Magyver would have been proud. Big wet earth component, nose of Genoa salami and tobacco. A touch of spice and cherry. Plenty of fruit but tannins dominate. Still nice on day 2. — 9 years ago

Genoa Paso Robles Red Blend 2016

Incredible. Rich, full bodied, complex nose that's a drink in itself, velvety smooth tannins. Beautiful dark color. — 9 years ago

Sextant Wines

Genoa XIV Red Blend

Great stuff. Can't necessarily justify the price. Much cheaper sextant wines are really quite similar. Not as good but the quality to price ratio doesn't make sense here. — 10 years ago

Robert Biale Vineyards

Black Chicken Napa Valley Zinfandel 2014

The Biale tradition began in the 1930's when Pietro Biale, an immigrant from Genoa, began planting Zinfandel on his Napa farm in 1937. An amazing Zin! Dark red with aromas of ripe fruits, floral and spice. On the palate, juicy chery, strawberry and cinnamon spice flavors. Soft fine tannins, nice balance with lingering finish ending with mineral tones. — 8 years ago

A little Ripasso for Jeter's final game. Goes well with hard cheese, Genoa and NYY baseball. — 11 years ago

Château Tour de Cazelle

Côtes de Bourg Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Might be the best legs I've ever seen... in a wine, anyway. Stands on its own quite well. I did not try this with meal only a small cheese and genoa plate. Smooth, slight plum and vanilla up front fairly dry on the finish. I'll seek this one out again. — 11 years ago
