San Valentino Sangiovese Blend 2019

Cherries, nice smoothly integrated tannins. A bit more sugar than I usually go for but overall extremely pleasant. I could see this going well with a meal that wants a leaner but still luscious red — 2 days ago

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2021

Decant and pour. Restrained notes of dark fruit, smoke, leather, tobacco, grilled bell pepper. Taste: cherry, blueberry, currants, crushed granite, truffles. A young wine that I would luv to drink again in 15 years. — 10 days ago

I Sodi di San Niccolò Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2018

Opened way too early. Still very closed and tight. I’ll hold on some longer on my 2016’s in the cellar — 16 days ago

Bric dël Fiasc Barolo Nebbiolo 1997

Mature Barolo with scents of violets, pencil shavings, and red berries. On the palate the wine becomes medium bodied with earthier notes but equally enticing. — 21 days ago

Guidalberto Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2020

At an Italian Restaurant on the Gold Coast having a nice pasta dish of Rigatoni with Lamb Shoulder. This wine by San Guido where their top Cuvée is the famous Sassicaia. This wine is 50/50 Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Oak maturation is well balanced using a combination of new and used oak. The nose shows obvious Cabernet traits and shows again how suitable Bolgheri is to Bordeaux blends - plummy notes. A good match with the dish. A dry finish. — 18 days ago

@Somm David T Agreed David. All I needed was a win on the blackjack tables which sadly did not happen 🤨🤨

Mount Eden Vineyards

Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2020

A little shy at first but really opens up and shows after a couple hours of air. Classic Santa Cruz Mtns Pinot. Earthy. A touch candied. Long finish. Pretty wine. 👍🏼 — 9 days ago

Trout Gulch Vineyard Chardonnay 2017

Lemon curd and a zesty acidity that lands with some sweetness and then bite.

Pairing with an avocado really mellowed this wine out and made it delicious.

Lots of tension and bright lemon citrus flavor. Touch of lime.
