The 2020 Chianti Colli Senesi is an absolute delight. Fresh, gracious and medium in body, the 2020 is super-refined from start to finish. Crushed berry fruit, spice and red flowers give this aromatic, inviting Chianti so much appeal. The 2020 is a total charmer. That’s all there is to it. $19.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2021)

Probably the last weekend on the 16th st. Still no lease signed, Open starts next week, and Bacon release in 10 days. A perfect storm!

Bright fruity acidity with dusky cherry and leather notes gives way to softened tannins and balanced when pared with delicate pasta and marinara.
