That lineup sounds like a sentence for a crime conviction

Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2015
@Angelo Casagrande, the better Bandol rouges will age a long time (Tempier, etc.), though I know your brother cringes at the idea of holding them 20 years, for example. Of course, it’s all personal preference.
@Tom Casagrande I concur, it was incredible with the steak. Don’t worry @Angelo Casagrande Tom saved a bottle of yellowtail Shiraz for when you pay a visit 👍
Thanks Dan. I’ll bring up some White Zin, your fav, for you this weekend!

Quartetto Rosso Langhe DOC Nebbiolo 2022
About 40% Nebbiolo; the rest PN, Syrah, and Merlot. I generally avoid non Italian grapes in Italian wines because I’m an Italian wine snob. There are hundreds of indigenous Italian grapes. Does everyone really want just the Pinots and Merlots? But this was quite good. A birthday gift from my kids. Fruity, some tannins - I can taste the Nebbiolo. Quite fruity. — 11 days ago
Honestly, @Angelo Casagrande, I’m with you on the non-indigenous varietal issue vis-a-vis Italian wines.
Me too @Doug Powers But I am a sucker for Gaja's Nebbiolo that has Cab and Merlot in the mix.

Enjoying a beautiful evening sipping this and listening to my metal playlist ( entitled”Songs my wife won’t let me play), so I’ll have to save her some and switch lists soon. Very pleasantl wine- strawberry and oddly, banana on the finish!? — 3 days ago
