Great Nebbiolo always surprises me in its ability to be brooding and powerful yet delicate. Floral and tobacco on the nose combine with blue and red fruit with light tar and smoke notes through a lengthy finish. Great balance. From magnum @Kyle Harvey — 8 years ago

Don't be fooled by the recent rush of French wines to grace my palette. Those who know me know that I like to keep a Toscana or a Brunello around for good measure. But then @Kyle Harvey put the hard sell on Etna wines so I gave it a shot. From this point on, I will forever be on the lookout for more. The volcanic terroir and sun soaked mountainside make for the perfect climate to produce an exceptional wine. Comprised of 80% Mascalese and 20% Cappucio, the wine is remarkably well structured with loads of nuance. Fruits abound and silky tannins make this #Etna a banger. — 9 years ago

WOTN! Blend of several indigenous Sicilian grapes (50% Nerello Mascalese, 20% Nerello Cappucio, 20% Nocera, 10% other indigenous varietals) from vineyards right off the Straights of Messina. Not an Etna wine, but embraces if not surpasses the Burgundian qualities many high end Sicilian wines approach. Tremendous acid balance and tannin integration that can only come from precise wine making. Very deep but funky mushroom, red fruit, forest floor, and slightly brett nose. On the palate tremendous fruit quality tastes of red berries, peach, and floral notes end up giving way to herbaceous and leather undertones. Again, thanks @Kyle Harvey for lugging this across the world for the summit! — 9 years ago

Scanning the wine list, I settled on this Nebbiolo varietal from the Piedmont region. While the Nebbiolo is better known for the much higher-end barolos, this wine holds its own for about half the price. It's elegant and fruity with notes of tar and tobacco beneath the bright cherry and slightly citric overtones. We loved this wine so much, we decided to get another bottle. It could potentially use a few more years before it reaches peak drinkability but if you can't wait, you won't be disappointed. @Kyle Harvey — 10 years ago

Another stunning wine! Probably tied for WOTN. Just an absolutely fantastic GC, and a lesser known producer, but not to be taken lightly. For under $100 you are getting cream of the crop, and something that even at 6 years of age will soldier on and continue to develop for at least the next 10 years. Vibrant and aromatic - crushed clove, fresh pansies, rhubarb, a faint touch of brett to bring the terrior together. Beautiful ruby color, no loss of youth in flavour either - raspberry reduction, nutmeg, dried cranberries, cedar, and a finesse only known to GC Burgundy.

Another special treat to open. Thank you @Kyle Groombridge ! — 8 years ago

Dark cherries v. blackberries and pencil shavings on the nose. Full but refined body. A structured but delicate finish. Paired great with the Catalan meal this evening. First Aalto, hopefully not the last.

Nero D'Avola--youthful, full of bold flavors like blackberry, coffee, and plum yet with the earthiness of a wine twice its age. Bumped this one into the nines simply bc of massive #qpr #sicily @Kyle Harvey these wines would be fantastic in 5 years if I could keep them around that long — 10 years ago
