2019... just a great Sunday afternoon pandemic wine — 4 years ago
Laura Bianchi and her team continue the long family tradition of making beautiful wines. This marvelous Chianti is a good example. Its traditional style exhibits a layered structure of ripe cherry fruit & herbs accented with light tannins that make it a delight to drink. The wine is at its peak. Enjoy it! — 3 years ago
A subtle and refined nose of lemon peel, a touch of almonds and some mint. The bubbles are so small and classy, tight yet so vibrant. The wine as such energy and freshness and is straight in the palate with excellent length, very elegant, so pure and an absolute delight to drink now, but might even be better in a few years. 95-96
Un nez fin et subtil de zeste de citron avec une touche d’amandes et de menthe. Les bulles sont serrées avec beaucoup de classe et d’élégance, tout comme le vin d’ailleurs qui est frais, très pur, droit, beaucoup d’énergie et avec une superbe longueur, pas le plus riche et le plus ample, un style droit et fin mais vraiment excellent. Se boit bien maintenant et sera assurément encore meilleur avec un peu de cave. 95-96 — 5 years ago

A delight, as always 🤍 — 4 years ago
Well, day one presented a fresh tart delight with some plum or cranberry and a little "woodsy-ness" for funk. Day two the mouse crept in. Drink it fast. — 4 years ago
Happy Spring! It’s one of our favorite points in the year. More; daylight, a little warmer in CA and everything starts to bloom which, means a long summer of gardening and being outdoors every day/night is not far off.
Since it was such a great day and basically most Californians are shut-Ins, the voluntary self quarantining was getting to me. I did the landscaping and got an afternoon of fresh air today. A breath of fresh air...ahhh! Wow, was it needed after Gavin’s Newsom’s estimate of 25.5 million Californians would be infected with Coronavirus over 8 weeks yesterday.
So, a good night to celebrate another day of being virus free with my 2nd favorite N/V Rosé Champagne.
All my numerous previous notes apply.
Stay safe everyone and remember the new terminology of the new decade...social distancing! Cheers! 🍾🥂
