Costemonghisio Nizza Barbera 2018

Dark ruby with light ruby highlights. Inviting nose and medium full palate of red berries, juicy blueberry, and ripe blackberry. Bright acidity and medium tannins mark this as a classic Piemonte red for hearty Mediterranean fare. I'm having short rib and butternut squash risotto which fits perfectly. Drink now through 2028. — 3 years ago

Gavi Cortese 2019

Pale lemon-hued. Aromas and flavors of almond, blossom, honey, lime, and pineapple. Medium body and medium-plus acidity. Lovely floral notes on the nose; while balanced and textured on the mouthfeel and a lingering finish of citrus. — 5 years ago

Riserva Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 1982

A bit of an argument between table mates as to whether this was corked. One adamant yes, the other no. Not obvious to me, but a hint of something on the nose to lead in that direction. Flavors were not muted and palate/profile seemed right otherwise and I enjoyed this overall. — 8 years ago

Yes, for better or worse I am not highly sensitive to TCA - but both sides on this one claimed to be very sensitive to it. The few corked wines I have had have typically had muted flavors, this did not seem to in my opinion.

I've asked my mentors if corked wines are still drinkable sometimes and they have said yes. Glad it was drinkable!

Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2014

My fondness for Silla Sebaste grows with each glass. This is my first Bussia from this producer and it’s approachable on opening and opens up even more over several hours. Pronounced floral and cherry nose. Mouth watering cherry and other dark fruits, spices, and add a little smoke and leather from front to mid palate. The moderate lingering tannins start to take over late palate and dry the mouth through the finish. Wonderful experience with a lot going on. — 5 years ago

Bright dry cherry, minerality, earth and strawberry. Really nice, going to let it open up some more. — 4 years ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2015

Full palate explosion on opening - well balanced with long dry finish. After 2 hours medium bodied with balanced but intense tannins and smoky leathery dark berries. Perfect for a dark wood room with a fireplace burning while sitting in a plush leather chair. — 5 years ago

Centobricchi Langhe Bianco White Blend 2017

This 100% Viognier is a star bright green gold. Old bananas and fresh white flowers on the abundant nose. Full bodied complex palate yields all sorts of stuff: banana, magnolia petal, underripe and overripe tropical fruits, white pepper, white peach, and on and on. Finish is medium long and doesn’t fade into that darkness typical of many white Rhône varieties. Medium minus acidity, of course. This is classic Viognier. Very varietally typical in every way. Enjoy on its own or with rich “white wine” dishes , especially cream sauces or roasts poultry. Drink now through 2022. — 5 years ago

I don’t think I’ve ever had a Viognier from Italy!sounds interesting.

@Winston Jones - I’m finding that the regions close to “other places” (Alto Adige, Piemonte, Valle d’Osta, Lombardia) do remarkably well with varieties from those “other places.” Piemonte isn’t that far from the Rhône. I got a Condrieu in this month’s WFL case. Should be an interesting comparison.
