Grappa di Sassicaia Jacopo Poli Cabernet Franc Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

I’ve had a lot of grappa over the years and they’ve been fun, in a rustic way, but few have ever really impressed me. This one did. It was more complex, layered and about as smooth as any I have tried. Drink now or whenever. — 3 days ago

Soxer. He’s an old man and was nervous as hell because of the big storm that was rolling through. Poor guy.

Pleasant 100% Italian Cabernet that will take another 5 yr to flush out and develop more character. But smooth and elegant now. Add a point or two in 5-8 yrs. — a month ago

Ser Lapo Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2019

Paid €25 for a half bottle at L’Osteria di Giovanni. A nice Chianti Classico Reserva with a good full flavor. Would be nice to find in the United States at a reasonable price. I had a 2019 in January 2026. Just saw that this wine is available in the United States in the 750 ML bottle for $40 at wine Junction in Somerville. What a great price for a half bottle here in Italy at a restaurant.  — 4 months ago
