Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

9.0

2020 vintage. Checked multiple (4) Trader Joe’s locations to see if there was any more of the verry solid 2019 vintage left anywhere. No luck. Took the plunge on the new vintage. Still worth the ca$hi$h. Lots of prettier fruits and medium body. Not as much structure as the 2019 but that dropoff was expected. Won’t drink as much of the 2020 as I did the 2019 but for $14.99, it’s still a relative bargain. Will hit again. 4.8.24. — 10 days ago

Lugana Trebbiano 2002

9.0

This is an example of the “fresh” style of Lugana, meant to be consumed sooner than later. It has bright flavors of pineapple, green apples and green bell pepper, with a hint of honeysuckle to the finish. It has enough acidity to stand up to spicy foods. It is not overly sweet, with perhaps the residual sugar of a California Sauvignon Blanc. — 2 months ago

From Old Vine Zinfandel Primitivo

9.1

This wine is dark ruby in the glass and offers a beautiful nose that is full of dark fruit aromas and a good bit of oak. Tar also appears, adding a very earthy angle to the bouquet. On the palate, big, jammy blackberry, blueberry and cassis flavors are joined together by oak spice and a healthy dose of tannins. Despite the oak mentions, the wine tastes clean and fresh. The winery recommends pairing it with aged cheeses. I like it with spaghetti and meatballs. I used the wine in my sauce. — a month ago

At first pour - this wine was bricked and burnt orange. Tasted gross frankly. Hit it with the winepro2 oxygen and it magically began to open up and reveal something. Paired it with some Parmesan cheese and then it started humming. Enjoyed with a lemon garlic Parmesan pasta. Alls well that ends well. — a month ago
