Rabarbaro

Time for objective reporting. I hate smoky but I recognize balance and complexity as much as I recognize a lot of people (hello mezcal and scotch lovers!) are into smoky. This is smoked cherry pie. Not for me but if I dug smoke I’d drink the heckums out of it gosh darn it. Ergo I give it a huge thumbs up and will never drink it again myself. But I bet YOU will. — 6 years ago

Sestadisopra

Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

Rich black fruit, strawberry, dried cherry and slight toasty vanilla. Deep, balanced incredibly long finish for the rosso. Moderate tannins. Aged in French bariques. Love this one -- tasted with the winemaker (ettore) at the villa. Unique terroir in this part of Montalcino: Highest elevation (350m), micro climate with sea breeze and calcareous lime/ rocky mix. — 7 years ago

Visette Langhe Nebbiolo 2010

This wine might be my sweet spot. Grippy, classic Neb profile with amazing structure. This wine is built to last but as a youngster was an amazing foil for dry aged rib eyes. Superb. — 9 years ago

Della Madre Superiore Barbera d'Alba 2012

Cedar bark, black cherry, forest berries and clay. Soft mouthfeel, creamy, red berries and licorice... transitions into bright acidity before tobacco and dark fruits on the finish. Solid length and complexity, bright fruit with rustic charm. Stainless ferment then 12 months in barrique. Food wine - paired with blackened, cedar smoked salmon. — 6 years ago

Montenevoso Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

I don’t typically like Italian wine, but this one is BIG and yummy. This wine is from the Abruzzo region of Italy. It’s juicy, a bit peppery, and and a very drinkable wine — 6 years ago

Vigna Mondoca di Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

We got fooled on this one. So musty-dusty smelling that we thought it was corked or bad, so we just set it on the counter. The next night we tried it again for kicks and decided we should decant and see what we have. Good decision! Triple decanted and let it sit for awhile. We would have waited another day if we could, but had other plans so went ahead and drank it. Five hours later it was still opening. Next time we'll probably open it the night before and double decant and let it sit all day. We didn't get the raisin flavor this time. Dry and lots of leather. Delish!! — 8 years ago

Took a bit to open up, then beautiful, drink now nebbiolo fruit. Not so much tannin structure as a Barolo or Barbaresco, and easy at the table with mushroom tajarin. — 9 years ago

Lorenzino Dolcetto d'Alba 2016

So underrated. Dark, brooding, intense. Roasted plums, grated spices. Still, it’s fleshy, corpulent and packed after a day or two of aeration. #dolcetto #alba #piemonte — 6 years ago
