Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2009

Truly a great value at $30. This Amarone is at the end of its life and is starting to turn brown, but it still delivered lovely bitter Amarone flavor. Deep dark fruit and chocolate. — 2 years ago

Monti Garbi Ripasso Valpolicella Superiore Corvina Blend 2017

My first Ripasso!!! Wow!!! Ruby colored with wood and cherry aromas. This is a big bold wine that is very smooth. It’s boldness reminds me of a Cabernet Sauvignon. Cherry, wood, and plenty of spice notes with a fairly long finish. Went well with our Leg of Lamb! — 4 years ago

Fulcrum

Wildcat Mountain Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018

Small production, 150 cases, aged 11 months in French oak, 35% new. Met winemaker David Rossi who makes small batches by buying fruit from top vineyards and using a shared winery for crafting his small batch wines. Deep Ruby with a full range of berry aromas with wafts of earthy notes. On the palate blackberry & ripe cherry with oak and subtle spice. Fine tannins, lingering ending with fruit and some dusty spice. Nice now but let’s see if it aged well. I’ll grab a bottle and put it aside. Check back! — 2 years ago

@Ken Z Josephine no question. Especially for red. Josephine is actually made by zalto but I much prefer that line…

I thought it was a new venture from the previous owner of zalto to break away from the family business and do his own thing. I generally find I prefer my zalto glasses over my Reidel ones, but only around 80% of the time, and almost never for specific varietals (sangiovese). Just curious on your experience.

I learn something every day! I find the Josephine 3 brings Pinot to a place no other glass can. It’s wonderful. Also available on Amazon which makes it easy to find

Frog's Leap

Hilltop Rossi Vineyard Red Bordeaux Blend 2017

Frog’s Leap. “Hilltop” Rossi Vineyard Cabernet blend. Nose of dirt, currants, anise, plums, just slightest hint of violets. Palate is plums, currants, herbs, a bit of cocoa, some tobacco, pepper, and subtle tannins. Will be interesting to see how this ages since it’s so enjoyable with an hour of air now. — 6 years ago
