Briccorosa Rouchet Monferrato Rosso Ruche 2014

A bright, fun + festive wine from one of Piemonte’s unicorn varieties, made in an unexpectedly elegant style. Smells like cinnamon + berries. Tastes like Nebbiolo on spring break. Drinks like silk. — 5 years ago

Tettimorra Barolo Nebbiolo 1999

Powerful, medium bodied Barolo, with lots of texture, exquisite notes of spice, dark fruit, and lively acidity. Delightful with pork loin, making for a memorable winter evening. — 8 years ago

Vista de Chá Syrah 2011

9.0

Impossible to pick in a blind tasting, this is the best Brasilian wine I've tasted. With the spiciness of the Northern Rhône and the richness of a warmer climate, this is closest in style to the great Syrahs from Hawkes Bay's Gimblett Gravels. A real find. — 9 years ago

Selvarossa Dolcetto d'Acqui 2000

Palmer Emmitt
8.9

Hard to believe this is 19-yr old Dolcetto. Earthy stewy cherry with nice acids and soft soft mouthfeel. Shows its age in some ways but also feels strangely timeless - like a pretty older woman who’s never had any work done. — 6 years ago

Trebulanum Terre del Volturno IGT Casavecchia 2012

Old school rustic Italian, quite dark fruited, salty. Medium body. Very tannic on the back end, very structured wine. Substantial acid. Needs a couple hours of air to come together and show properly. Pair with 🍝 for a pretty pretty good time. // turns into something special on day 2 — 7 years ago

I applaud your patience to get to day two on so many wines here.

@Jenks honestly, most red wine I drink these days I prefer on day 2. When I open a bottle I usually immediately decant half of it to my trusty 375, cork it, and stick it in the fridge. 2-3-4 days later these babies sing!

@Jenks the bigger, more conventional red wines I mean. The super natty, lighter / carbonic / no SO2 stuff doesn't usually hold up so I pound that. Heyo.

@Palmer Emmitt Hi Bud! I'll look this one up! If you say it's good then its golden in my book!
By the way., you should not be so humble! Uncork your 2011 Georges & post it!!!!
One of the absolute best 2011's I have ever had......ever! I'm not bullshitting. I haven't posted it yet because I haven't received my allocation due to high temps in S. FL.
It was my favorite during our tasting and I can't wait to get the case I ordered.
All kidding aside guys.., call him tomorrow's and order it before it's gone. Truly insanely lush. Awesomeness in a glass & by far the absolutely BEST priced Georges Cab in Napa. I literally dare you to find me one that is better. Yes......it's that good! Call Palmer Emmitt for pricing info on a case purchase. I've never led you wrong on a wine. Trust me on this one! It's the undiscovered gem 💎 in Napa.
