Peirano Estate
Illusion Old Vine Zinfandel Blend 2022
@Dave, I haven’t had any Peirano Zin since the 1990s at some of the ZAP tastings in Ft. Mason in the Marina District of San Francisco — fond memories, great times (until the crowds got to 3-5,000 for the general public tasting!! We had about 8-10 couples where we used to volunteer for Friday night glass washing duty so we could get into the Trade tasting and leave when the general public was let in — what a crazy wave of humanity that was!! I figure you woulda LOVED those crowds!! 🤔🤷🤣
Sounds like a hoot!

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2024
I was going to post on a langhe nebbiolo that I had last week, but then i looked to see what others had posted and found that I already had notes from a couple months ago. Totally forgot I had it. Was the same vintage too. 😝
Oh I've done that! But my point this time is that the wine is pretty forgettable 😂

Riserva Chianti Sangiovese Blend 2022
Super thin mouthfeel, as noted by @Tree Kilpatrick But flavors are there. Red fruit, juicy, yummy, cheap... just a bit watery.

I feel like the combination of your wine description and the artist deserve a NSFW comment. But it won’t be from me.
Big titties?
Westhoff Pioneers
ITA Red Blend 2023
Couldn't resist the pretty label. This is one of Joseph Wagner's cute new blends. They have an American, French, and Italian blend in this series. This is the Italian, composed of Sagrantino, Teroldego, Nero D'Avola, and Negro Amaro. And it pretty much tastes like everything else Wagner puts out. Not awful, got a bit of nice florals in it, but for the most part $50 gets you some slick marketing. I wouldn't have you search this one out.

@Dave, naw, we’re getting a weird pre-summer weather break here — it’ll be 98+ by next Tuesday!!
Sitting outside in SLO enjoying a nice Pinot and it’s 58°!
I love you guys 🤞 @Doug Powers @Brian Hearty

A very dark blend, with Lodi Zin at the helm. Prune, bluebberies, smoke, nutmeg, cedar. Lush and heavy.
