Tenuta Il Falchetto Bricco Paradiso Barbera d’Asti Superiore DOCG 2019: Medium-bodied. High acidity. Approachable tannins. Dark fruits. Spice. Oak. Flavorful long finish. Had this wine a few weeks ago at the Slow Wine SF event and I am still talking about it today: The color! The taste! The nose! Such an exceptional wine. Hands down my new favorite Barbera! Great weekend to all! Cheers🍷 — 4 years ago
This is a good, crisp, zesty little bottle of citrus and green apple. It’s mouth wateringly acidic, but not overbearing in its punch. I just wrote this and then looked at the winery’s own tasting notes and I think my future self wrote their description. — 5 years ago

K&L notes, Attractive aromas of cedar, caramel, crushed pineapple, eucalyptus-vanilla, and fine tea with a round, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a smooth, complex, very long allspice, lime leaf, dried mango, smoke, and sea salt finish. Exotic aromas and superb integration make this the Cognac or Single Malt-lovers Tequila; a must-try." (04/2019) Distiller's note: "A distinct tequila, El Tesoro Paradiso® is slowly aged for five years in French oak ex-Cognac barrels. Created by Don Felipe Camarena in collaboration in with Alain Royer of A. de Fussigny Cognac, this unique tequila has an earthy taste with a hint of minerality, tropical characteristics, and sweet notes of butterscotch." — 6 years ago

Definitely @Ron R . I’ve had many bottles in the past 10 yearsWonderful wine, reminded a bit of Monastrell. Herbs and red fruits. — 6 years ago
Cherries, tobacco, red fruits. Luscious, full mouthfeel without the dry “pucker” of some Chiantis. Very good, especially for the lack of aging. — 7 years ago

St. Agrestis’s Brooklyn made aperitivo with purified sparkling water and Glera shipped in from Veneto! So cool. Sweet up front but finishes more bitter than Aperol. What a neat local beverage. — 6 years ago
Delicious nebbiolo w natural bent. Just a hint of funk to make it stand out. Accompanied dinner at Alto Paradiso perfectly — 7 years ago
A special bottling of the producer Villadoria, 100%-owner of the "Cappallotto" MGA in Serralunga d'Alba (next to "Baudana" & "Meriame") and home of the famiglia Lanzavecchia. "Paradiso" is the official single vineyard here (best exposition, old vines). The vinifciation is traditional in botti grandi. A very beautiful, succulent entry level Serralunga Barolo, showing quite youthful in 2010, as expected. Dark fruit, menthol, lavender and a bit of leather are the prime flavors. High tannins, that are well integrated. Pretty good structure and length. — 7 years ago
