'BRUTTO NOBILE' SYRAH

2018 Syrah - very savory indeed, def got the taste of olive at the front. Held up wonderfully with a rich cheese board. Would get again! — 3 months ago

Vinum Vita Est Verduno Pelaverga 2019

Very light. Beautiful colour. Little spice on it. Very good! — 2 years ago

Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2012

Last one in the cellar. Penultimate bottle was back in Nov ‘18. Gave that a 9.1. Fruit is at the early stage of decline so I’d suggest to Drink Up. Paired it with grilled Italian chicken sausages and a simple green salad. La vita è bella! — 2 years ago

Terre di Vita

Terre Siciliane Pinot Grigio

Waitrose. Excellent PG. Unusual but pleasing fruity notes to it - orange blossom and melon definitely came through - perhaps some pomegranate too. Sharpness of a PG but with some complexity and depth to its flavour. — 2 years ago

Long Shadows Vintners

Nine Hats Columbia Valley Red Blend

This was an evening out in Raleigh while in town for a wedding. We had a glass of the Nine Hats Red Blend. Medium purple with a nose of blackberry jam, strawberries, vanilla, and a slight hint of sweet tobacco. Very much a fruit forward wine on the palate. Full bodied, this is a crowd pleaser. We had this by the glass at Vita Vite in Raleigh, NC. At $20 a bottle this is a great value. — 3 years ago

Sounds good, @Mike R Looking forward to connecting the next time I’m in town. I come to Raleigh 4-5 times a year. It was a busy, quick weekend. Friday - business meeting, rehearsal dinner, and high-school class reunion. Saturday - dinner with family and snuck away for a glass with the wife later that night. Sunday - wedding day. Back to Kentucky today. Taylor was a nice guy. Never knew about his wine shop just down the road from my folks house.
