LP 3 from the Gurdjieff/ de Hartmann box set and a spectacular Barbera. The music is a collection of beautiful piano compositions based on the spiritual teachings of George Gurdjieff. The wine has all the juicy pleasure one expects from Barbera, but has plenty of structure as well. Tannins add some texture & the acidic lift adds complexity to the wine. I absolutely love Barbera, and this is a top level example.

Maybe I'm a little sensitive to it currently, but the brett here overwhelms most of the positive attributes.

Just enough brett to make this go from "oh that's fun" to "damn, that's really rad!!"
