Pale straw in color, intense (-) nose with pear, citrus and passion fruit notes. Refreshing and balanced. Tasty Lugana for your fried anchovies, sea food with slow cooked tomato sauce pasta and a thin dough Artishok pizza. — 18 days ago

An amazing Amarone. Air or decant well before drinking. Full bouquet of overripe red fruits, leather and mint. Luscious, very full-bodied and with a very long finish. Great with truffle, mushrooms, porcini and beef Wellington. — 7 years ago

Loving our trip to Andermatt Suisse, here is an Italian Valpolicella Ripassa in Suisse, low tannins, cherries, blackcurrants, and a very unique USP the heaviest glass bottle I have ever come across, quite the thing. — 3 months ago

Very tasty Barbera with some tanins, but not overwhelming. Had it with pasta and this worked very well. Usually not a big fan of Barbera, but this one stands out. — a year ago

Medium red color with brownish accents. Sampled over a 2+ hour decant. Massive nose of chocolate that evolves to amaretto and you can smell the 16.5 OH. Syrupy and very port like. Medium minus finish which is surprising. Always nice to try something new as this might be my first Amarone experience. Thanks MG!! — 7 years ago

Recovering from a horrendous cold that I’m pretty sure I got from walking the streets of Paris last week, I decided to venture out for a “treat yourself” Monday night dinner back in Chicago.

You know that song lyric that goes, “whatever Lola wants, Lola gets”? Well, not in my case. I did want a French wine solely based on nostalgia, but settled on an Italian in a French restaurant.

With one nostril passage opened, I was able to get a very overpowering bouquet of tar (which by the way has been on my bucket list of aromatics to smell- so happy I can cross that off), earth floor, mushrooms, cedar and a bit of menthol.

Tannins are very much soft and nonexistent in this bottle- full bodied with high acidity. Medium garnet color, which was surprising based on the age. I didn’t find this as complex as some Barolos I’ve had in the past, but still found it very enjoyable. On the palate, a very surprising sweet ripeness of red plum that doesn’t linger long on the tongue. Overall- not bad for a Monday. — 7 years ago
