An absolutely brilliant evening at one of the best hole in the wall spots in all of Fort Worth, Nonna Tata. The Italian food is out of this world good, and if you can get there in time (which we luckily did) the patio is perfect for this weather!

To celebrate one of my best friend's coming first child, Kevin and I met up and I wanted to supply the wine as I know he's a Gargiulo fan. Funny thing is, I'd never had Gargiulo, but thanks to
@Martin G Rivard , I had one of these bad boys to open! Martin told me to not worry about the vintage and trust him as it's a killer wine. He. Was. RIGHT. Wow. After about an hour and a half of being open, this was so incredibly supple. Dark purple and almost black in the glass. Blackberries and raspberries on the nose...faint hint of pepper. Absolutely perfectly balanced on the palate...blackberry pie, blackberry preserves, plum, red and black licorice on the palate. This is so delicious now, but in 3-4 years, this will be absolutely divine. Up there with Red Cap in best wines of 2011. Thank you, Martin!

Wow. Never in a million years would have guessed this was an '11. This exhibits dried fruit, baking spice and graphite on the nose. The mouthfeel is so smooth with a great acidity. Medium bodied. Dark cherries on the palate, cocoa and a hint of cedar. There is an incredible balance to this wine. It disappeared quickly. Absolutely loved it.

10' Gargiulo G Major 7. The initial nose & taste was very inviting. It stated to close up slightly.
Color- Dark Ruby. Palate- Blackcurrant, blueberry, licorice. With a splash of bitter chocolate. Lush, broad & velvety smooth. Medium + bodied. Needed a healthy decanting. Wait another year before opening them. Highly recommend! Edit- 2 hours later this was simply amazing!
