Colli Tortonesi Timorasso 2023
@Doug Powers i love Timorasso. Has replaced much of the ubiquitous Gavi (Cortese) in Piedmont and for the better.

Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 1990
Classic Besucastel! I first visited this property in 1987, and the Brett character was unmistakeable. This 1990 is aging extremely well. Strong Brett aromas, but the fruit is also strong and in balance. If you are one that thinks Brett is an unforgivable flaw, you will hate this. Great Chateauneuf from a great vintage! Celebrating my son’s 33rd birthday tonight (1993 wasn’t a great vintage in CdP!) with a perfectly grilled NY steak. I am very pleased with this wine — 3 days ago
Glad you enjoyed it!! I do prefer the 1988 and 1989, but this is damn good!!!
@Jim Powers, oh, and Happy Birthday to Connor!!
Château Pesquié
Les Terrasses Côtes du Ventoux Red Rhone Blend 2017
If actually view 10 years for a Ventoux as risky!🤣🤣
@Tom Casagrande, actually the back label said “Aging potential 10 years”, which most producers don’t do on their labels, right?
I don’t know about what producers do, but I always chuckle skeptically when wine critics say about, for a example, a decent Southern Rhone, “enjoy now-[20 years from now]”. My thought bubble above my head is going “Nope, no way in hell I’m keeping it that long.”
