Oh my Etna Rosso! Per favore dammi di più! 😆
This is a beautiful light-bodied red from the island of Sicily, Italy. It’s a Nerello Mascalese-Nerello Cappuccio blend. 🍇 🍷
With a medium ruby hue this wine offers tart strawberry, cherry, raspberry, violet, wet moss, and mineral notes. It has bright, pure fruit character and good acidity making it a lovely food-pairing wine. 👌👌👌
Pairing it with a sweet corn agnolotti and a fettuccine al uni dish. Beauteous! Voglio di più!🙏🙏🙏

This is a delicious Chardonnay from Oak Knoll District in Napa Valley. Rich and elegant, soft and smooth. Complex and engaging.
Nicely balanced and easy drinking right out of the bottle.
This 3 year old Single Vineyard Chardonnay is starting to drink at its peak now, and will continue to do so in the next 5 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolves. Has good potential to become a 94 point wine.
A great sipping wine that also paired nicely with my BBQ chicken wings.

Dark red. Chalky. Chocolate. Leather. — 9 months ago
Great bottle from our wedding year with Cinnamon on our anniversary! The nutty Verzenay Pinot is in harmony with the chalky Mesnil Chard and this powerhouse Champagne still had the grace to go with the omakasa menu at Kanpai. A memorable bottle!! — 11 years ago

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes in the decanter.
