I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than most people). So each week, I share some of my wine reviews (mostly from samples) and tasting notes in a “mini-review” format.
They are meant to be quirky, fun, and (mostly) easily-digestible reviews of (mostly) currently available wines (click here for the skinny on how to read them), and are presented links to help you find them, so that you can try them out for yourself. Cheers!
- NV Andreola ‘Col Forno – Rive del Refrontolo’ (Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Superiore): A lot of green apples and even higher amounts of elegant fun. $24 B+
- 2014 Tenuta Carretta Cannubi Riserva (Barolo): A savory, red0fruited mouthful that will stay that way many, many moons from now. $190 A-
- 2012 Monte Zovo Amarone della Valpolicella (Veneto): BIg spices, big juiciness, big balance, and big… well, everything. $49 A-
