A winter, approaching spring, white that complemented the braised chicken thighs & parsnips dinner, roaring fire and garden catalog explorations. Where is my northern Italy trip guide ??? #italy #italianwine #valledaosta — 11 years ago
This is the Coup de Couer from Guide Hachette and it is really purple dream — 12 years ago
Cherry red color with very attractive
violet rim.
The nose presents with abundant
notes of red and black fruits, strawberry,
raspberry, blackberry and hints
mineral graphite and slate that
confer complexity.
The palate is fruity flooding
sensations of blackberry and forest fruits.
Noted for its meatiness and freshness that
provides a balance between sweet tannins and
acidity.

Checking out Wine Enthusiast's 2016 rose list: http://www.winemag.com/2016/06/22/your-guide-to-top-2015-summer-roses/. Lots of strawberries, clean, smooth, off-dry. Enjoyable with anything. — 10 years ago
Like most Rosso I've experienced, this shows the immediate splash of fruit. After an hour in the decanter this screams of earth and leather. Black cherry, oak, barrel tannin, and solid acidity guide it to a lengthy finish. — 10 years ago

Tour guide next to us said '04 was one of the worst vintages in the past 50 years. I have to disagree, Monsieur... Smoky and savory, one of my favorites from the day. — 11 years ago

phenomenal. "Minges farms with organic practices, and is in the process of transitioning to bio-dynamics; though he’s most interested in the energy in the life-cycle of bio-dynamic practices, he intends to achieve certification in the near future. Minges considers himself more as a cellar master than a winemaker, raising the wines from their birth on the vine as ‘children,’ the grapes need nurturing in the vineyard, then as ‘teenagers’, turbulent in fermentation, they need to be left alone, finally maturing for as long as possible, undisturbed on their lees, eventually coming into their own character. These philosophies guide his decisions: meticulous work in the vineyard, spontaneous fermentation in stückfass, an extra long time on gross lees, extremely minimal sulphur use and only at bottling." — 13 years ago
Refosco. The grape may sound like an old blind Italian man's trusty guide dog, but it's sure to impress. Light, fruity, drinkable, and overall delicious. I'm bbq'ing ... And naming my next dog Refosco — 10 years ago
Musky, tart dry finish. Lime peel, grassy, medium alcohol high acidity. — 10 years ago
Visited the winery while on our honeymoon in Italy. The wine was great (snagged this for €19) but the tour of the winery was awwwwwwful. There were 12 people in the group and 4 of them were babies. Actual babies. Plus, one of the parents was a know-it-all wine snob (but like, he was also a skaterbro?) that the guide had to silence a few times. Overall, great winery and product. — 10 years ago
When at a Greek restaurant let the sommelier guide you to an interesting wine selection. This one did not disappoint with lovely jammy flavors and a complex but lasting finish. — 11 years ago

I found Vincent Arroyo by following the Smyser abridged guide to Napa Valley. This 2004 is aging very nicely and brings back fantastic memories of tasting in Vincent's barn on a sunny day in Calistoga. I drank a lot that day....
