Wow, is all. Instead of bubbles and toast, we get frizzante with dirt, meat and Kalamata olives. Oh yeah. If Lambrusco isn't wild enough for you, try this.

As Monty Python would say; And now for something completely different! Had to let it warm up a bit coming out of the fridge to let the fruit show.

Another fun crazy wine by Randall, sparkling Syrah. (No Aussiie Roo's here.) Bone dry, bright fruit, touch of tannins. Better day 2. Must get more.

Simple, and the bubbles have a hint of novelty, but it is an enjoyable wine to drink, even if it did take me a glass and a half to warm up to it.

Bought a case 10 years ago. This is the last one.
Dry, semi sweet beautiful red color in glass.
Randall Graham is still one of my wine heroes. Happy 2022! @bonnydoonvineyard
