Pinot Noir 2024

Very light colored wine, but dense in flavor. Mouth-coating cedar overlays the cherry, plum, and rose hip medley. A bit astringent. Maybe not the perfect pairing, but it works well with chicken piccata. Would be really nice with pork medallions.
Listening to my son yelling at Fortnight (and Matthew Sweet's 100% fun, released 31 years ago today. A start to finish album!)

Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC Lambrusco 2021

I could not find the right labelling, but that is understandable since this is a super small thing
Professor Venturelli stays away from mainstream distribution and he is a benchmark reference for most of the good Sorbara producers
The wine is spotless, super refined and long
Sourcing these bottles is a venture, that is the issue. Sorbara has found its way to get to the people finally, a denomination, for the lambrusco, that truly is apart

Forgotten Hills Syrah 2007

Worth the wait. 2007 on the mark. Tannins awake, funk-a-delicate on the initial palette which was pleasant and rustic. Love this wine. Professor Roth was right, all is good in the Universe! — 6 years ago

Inferno Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2020

This is a large-auditorium college intro class in Valtellina Nebbiolo. (In contrast to a graduate seminar led by Professor Marsetti or Professor Ar.Pe.Pe.) Loads of dried cherry fruit and winey old barrel scents on the nose. A bit of faded rose petals and stone. The light color looks fairly advanced. The palate is openly fruited initially, but has a bit of a tannic clench at the end. So the balance to be struck is drinking while the fruit is so nice but waiting to see if the tannins drop and soften. Not a long term project. Enjoy over the next few years would be my take, but I tend to favor things on the younger side. — 5 months ago

@Tom Casagrande, c’mon man, we’re just having fun, I LOVE reading your tasting notes and comments. Now that I’m retired, I’d be the first to admit that maybe I have WAY TOO MUCH free time for my smart ass comments to come out!! With that said, I AM (mildly? barely? not at all?) concerned about why you’re already invoking the 5th Amendment??!!?? 🤔😎😇

Azimut Cava Brut Nature Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada

Celebration time! The hubby is OFFICIALLY full professor. Got the letter from the university prez today. So to celebrate: cava brute nature. Aroma of pear with a dash of almond.. Zesty taste of lime, green apple, seashell and chalk. A little bitter at the end but I still like it. Good on its own or would be good to make cocktails out of. — 4 years ago
