I Feudi Di Sicilia

I Vigneri di Salvo Foti

Vinudilice Sicilia Rosso

Gorgeous buccia di cipolla color. Texture of rosé champagne decanted, pinot meunier. Super delicate, guava, Haribo peach rings, overripe apple, red apple skin tannins. Unico! — 6 years ago

Arianna Occhipinti

Sicilia Il Frappato

This was an exciting, complex, delish wine. Tart red fruit, great acidity, fine tannins and the perfect amount of forest floor/ herbal/ funk. Bet it would be amazing in a few years. But woops glad I didn't wait — 9 years ago

Rich and spicy. '15 is a bit youthful. Silky mouth feel. Slightly earthy. Cinnamon. Medium tannins. Hard to argue with the $20 price point. Great value. — 10 years ago

Sicilia Nero d'Avola 2012

Lovely wine. I like the Sicilian style. This was a super smooth red. Dark fruit with some spice, and low tannins. Almost drank the entire bottle by myself — 10 years ago

Sicilia Nerello Mascalese 2005

This was such a pleasant surprise. I don't think I've ever had this varietal w 10 years on it and was utterly impressed. Strawberry bitter chocolate tar and floral. Sorry to see the bottle go. — 11 years ago

Campania Falanghina 2017

So before the following I am gonna tell you how well this pairs with southwest salad and potatoes that have had some Funtime in hot oil. It isn’t quite a unicorn but at least a mermaid wine. It can sing and swim. Maybe it has legs AND fins—take that Ariel deniers. Anyway. Should I be proper? On the nose a lot of salt and baked stone fruit and apple juice. On the palate a body not quite voluptuous but not quite not. Lemons (baked stewed raw and candied) and hint of salad green barely ripe peach medium plus acid. Alcohol I am guessing is...12.5. Maybe 13 but...checked label it says it is 13. Snazzy. This wine is good with the slightly spicy southwest flavors but also chill with salad so that’s cool. I also served this at thanksgiving earlier this year because it can be friends with most dishes. Falanghina does a great service to food. — 7 years ago

Primitivo di Manduria 2012

Wow. Who knew we would find one of the best bottles on our trip so far at a "hypermarket" selling for €30. Primitivo, I understand to be similar to zin, is one of the two great reds produced in Puglia. Very elegant, easy on the palate and yet held up with red orechiette. — 10 years ago

Reserva Especial Unico Ribera del Duero Tempranillo Blend

-
9.2

1985, 1990 and 1991 blend. Medium tawny colour. The nose is expressive displaying complex aromas of nail varnish remover, tobacco, dark plums, cherries, cedar, mint and walnuts. It is dry in the mouth with a firm acidity and velvety tannins. It is slightly warm but well-balanced by a nice concentration and very long finish. The only thing I don't like about it is that the fruit seems to be dead, just lifted by the volatile acidity. — 11 years ago

Way too easy to drink. And cheap. Cheap and easy. Just what I like. Mildly acidic dry fruit finish, soft red cherries, no sweetness but nothing harsh, either. Just really lovely. #nerellomascalese #sicily #italy #rosato #dogsofdelectable — 11 years ago

I feel as if this would be amazing if not following the Rayas. Great nose but pretty wound up and tight still. Didn't open up much after being in glass an hour. Need to revisit. — 9 years ago

@Jason Chang The VS is a baby. The only wines that can follow the '05 Rayas and shine are other vintages of Rayas😊. For me those two producers are wine heaven and to have them together would be a very special treat. Thanks for sharing and happy holidays.

@Flora Chang @Jason Chang seasonal best to you both. Outstanding wines. Never experienced the Rayas, but yes, a Grenache is always going to dominate. Going European all the way - love your style! 🎅🏾

Big fan. Biiiig fan. Reductive as fuck, at first, but it blows off and opens its petals to you, just like El Guapo would have wanted. Meaty, full, with a sour cherry edge, it's delicious. I want more. — 10 years ago

Pintia Muestra Toro Tempranillo 2008

Intense at first in the nose with muddled cherry and blackberry in liquor, this wine is in control with perfectly integrated oak and fine silky tannin. I expect much more of a beast in the glass but this is beautiful and classy. The fruit on the palate has mellowed out and adds spice and grilled herbs. #toro #tintadetoro aka #tempranillo #vegasicilia — 11 years ago
