Bricco del Bosco Grignolino Monferrato Casalese 2018

A grape from Piemonte I didn’t know, apparantly lost but coming up again due to the younger generation winemakers. I’m in! Transparant in colour, gamay like taste and very light on it’s feet. But it’s a silent killer with it’s 14,5%. Very pleasant surprise! — 3 years ago

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

I love good wine and don’t mind paying for it if it is truly exquisite. This one didn’t meet that expectation. Medium body with a nice finish but it lapsed in the middle when it almost went silent. Had hoped it would express more over time but after about 2 hours it fell flat. Oh well, win some, lose some. — 3 years ago

Try a younger vintage. This producer is typically outstanding.

Another “should have decanted” bottle. Started off a bit funky but blew off after awhile. Won this as part of a lot at the silent auction at the Napa Valley Wine Auction several years ago. — 3 years ago

Bourgogne Rouge Pinot Noir 2017

Although often decent - I found that little red village Burgundies possess the unique elements of their superstar siblings. This one did - albeit in subtle hints, like the silent yet essential intro to a full blown concerto. This was very very good, yet most of all it made me long for a “normal” New Year’s Eve. — 4 years ago

Not this year Brecht but there is enough for future years and it is only going to get better.
