Antinori Wine Dinner. Paired with artisanal pasta with a smoky tomato sauce and Bufala. Same blend as in the Rosato (Cab/Merlot/Syrah). Lush and nutty. — 4 years ago
I’m loving the sweet red fruit laced with an earthy minerality and loads of baking spices. Nothing flabby here, it has crispness and a decently long laser finish (slight bit of heat). Super affordable (as in fantastic table wine) and classic. — 4 years ago
I love austere brooding wines, not for their own sake, but within a context. Bea walks the lines masterfully, with plenty of tart acidity, spice, and dark mysterious fruit characteristics to make it all seem fresh and fantastic. — 4 years ago
Antinori Wine Dinner. A unique dessert pairing. Ricotta flan w/gorgonzola fondue, and...a Merlot? This worked surprisingly well...more like a cheese and Bordeaux mashup. This vintage was more problematic and the wine was a bit harsher than ‘15 or ‘16. — 4 years ago

Antinori Wine Dinner. Paired with Wagyu carpaccio which was fantastic. But the wine...meh! — 4 years ago
Antinori Wine Dinner. The main event. Paired with lamb shank and veggies. This is a very approachable Tig. Pungent red fruit, tobacco, and spice on a lithe mineral-tinged frame. Not as great as other vintages in recent history but outstanding nevertheless. — 4 years ago
Pleasantly surprised by the drinkability at such a young age. Equally Fantastic with my pork tomahawk and my wife’s A5 Wagyu. Deep dark cherry, tar, smoke, and easy acidity, laid over a complex earthy core, but the texture was pure velvet. — 4 years ago

Señor Perez has *never* disappointed me. This is Puligny meets Grosses Gewachs. Fantastic minerality and round fruit, but bone dry. Superb with Branzino. — 4 years ago
