Pale lemon color with pronounced stone fruit and citrus aromas with floral blossoms. On the palate flavors of apricot, ripe apple and lime citrus with vivid acidity, minerality and spice. Medium finish ending dry with fresh fruit and smoky mineral notes. — 4 months ago

Here’s a beauteous Barbaresco from La Spinetta that we’re pairing with a homemade Bolognese – one of Mike’s (@deked1) favorites for his special day. 🥳 🎉  #happybirthday

This wine is comprised of 100% Nebbiolo, from Barbaresco DOCG, in the Piedmont region (NW) of Italy. 🇮🇹

Fun to learn that the artist behind the rhinoceros on the label -- originally created in 1515 by German artist, Albrecht Dürer – was both illustrated and carved into wood based only upon writings and descriptions of the animal, without the benefit of the artist ever seeing an image of one. 🦏 🦏

Bravo; ben fatto!  👏👏👏👏 Perhaps its central role on this label is meant to signify the creativity and ingenuity of the winemaker behind this beautiful bottle of wine. 🍷🍷🍷

This wine is beautiful, balanced, with strong structure – vibrant acidity, firm tannins, high alcohol, concentrated and complex aromas and flavors. It is medium garnet and offers developing aromas and flavors of sour cherry, strawberry rhubarb, anise, tomato leaf, dried oregano, violet, nutmeg, clove, cedar, and leather. The finish is long.

La Spinetta Vürsù Vigneto Starderi, Vintage 2013, ABV 14.5%.  Big thank you to @hoythill2011 and @sunfishcellars for the recommendation. 🙏🙏

Wow, medium yellow color, very nice floral apricot honeyed with just a hint of that petrol underneath, with a light lithe texture into a bit more acidic finish. 8% ABV. Must have aged well since last time, last one unfortunately — 6 months ago

Nose: bright. Lovely. White and yellow flowers. Pink grapefruit.

Palate: on the sweet side. Nice peach. Solid. Mountain stream. Sort of lovely if not not brilliant.

Introduced to this Alsatian Sparkker 🍾 by my Brother-in-law , excellent QPR, great Family & Winemakers. This is the Brut Reserve 100% Pinot Blanc; “Blanc De Blancs” as described by their back label. $18-25 depends on your source. Stood up in Blind Tasting to French Sparklers twice & three times the price. Cheers 🍾🥂👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 — 6 years ago

.375ml bottle. Might have got swamped by several previous bottles, including an aged spatlese, making it taste more simple than it really is. Has laser intensity to its goldenrod, marigold Apple & crème brûlée palate. Under 20$ too. — a year ago
