Post-Bemis Art Auction. I found this to be quite enjoyable but also pretty simple. Red fruit with some dried herb like qualities...but that’s about it. QPR isn’t so great. The 2015 Isole e Olena CC served after crushed it for half the price. — 5 years ago

Delicious Nebbiolo and the really special bits: made by son of vintner who makes my favorite wine (Cepparello), poured by his lovely Mother, tasted at Isole e Olena by the setting Tuscan sun. Wow. #thankful — 8 years ago

Cantine Colosi Malvasia Delle Lipari Passito Di Salina 2009: Grown on the island of Salina, off the coast of Sicily (part of the volcanic Aeolian Islands or Isole Eolie), this wine presents a milder sweetness than I am used to. Strong honey aromas dominate the nose however the warm orange & nectar flavors soothe the palate and bring a familiar smile to my face. Mild hints of apricot & fig appear on other sips as I finish the glass and tasting experience. Overall, a good dessert wine to end any evening. Have a great week! Cheers🍷 — 3 years ago

Fantastic summer Chardonnay from Tuscany: light and refreshing but with interesting body, not heavy like California Chardonnay. — 5 years ago

100% Cab Franc from...Piedmont? Yup. Courtesy of Paolo de Marchi, owner/winemaker of Isole e Olena. Long sur lie and barrel ageing creates a medium bodied, rich yet elegant wine with supple tannins. Earthy, cassis and pepper flavors — 8 years ago

Not quite in a Jura AOC, but belongs in that section at the store. From a family who provides rootstock to famous producers (Isole e Olena, Rion). Serious full bodied Chard which could be BTG all over town. From Petit Monde who are importing some exciting wine. — 9 years ago

The first Gran Selezione vintage—although the year predates the rollout of the higher quality designation, this was the first bottling to have documentation proving it met the criteria. It’s also well documented how DELICIOUS the wine is, showing red cherry, savory herbs, and some rusty/earthy tones. From magnum. Wow. — 4 years ago

Totally jacked, but not hot or out of balance. Toasted brioche, hazelnut, juicy yellow fruits. Good acid backbone, long finish. Like a potent young Chassagne-Morgeot. — 5 years ago

Bright red fruits. Super similar to the 14 isole e olena, but much more approachable right upon opening-- less acid. Should have drank with a big pepperoni tomato pie. — 7 years ago

Better than the Isole e Elena of same vintage. Sour cherry, smoke; very smooth for a youngish Chianti. — 10 years ago
