Nice red. 100% barbera. Very mild. Little tannins. Very easy to drink. Even on day two. Warm hints of raspberries. Drank it too fast to really test. Need another bottle!

Light, dry. Not sure the grapes. I usually don’t like white but when having a lobster roll on Labor Day I’m going to enjoy a nice bottle. Not 100% why I like it but I do. Easy to drink. 8.8 23$ — 2 months ago

Coto de imaz
Gran reserva 2018
Rioja

Nice rioja. Warmer than I like but it’s hot this summer. Smooth. Floral notes. Easy to drink. Low tannins. Great taste. Highly recommend. Didn’t even loose my taste for drinking after looking at my wife’s cut open finger from the knives i just sharpened. Dry, doesn’t make your mouth pucker. Gets better the more you drink. 9.2. 33$ great value.

Honing
Nappa 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon

Really nice cab. Opened it up yesterday but was way too tired to drink it. Tonight with pasta after the kids spring break it tasted great. Fruit forward but not overly jammy. Nice nose. No heavy tannins. I think it tastes better after dinner with a nice chocolate. Would highly recommend. 39$. 9.3 — 6 months ago

Opened this red after a long day and had it with a white bean chili. It was great. Nice nose. Easy to drink red with notes of blackberries? Easy even the next day while eating chips and waiting for take out. Would purchase again. Steal for the price.

Ercolani riserva 2020
Vino nobile di montepulciano

Crisp very low tannins. Bought a bottle in montepulciano quickly after a great wine tasting at another vineyard. The smooth taste and very fruit forward taste is great for a quick panini under a pavilion in Chianti. A bit too much fruit. But on a Beautiful perfect night it is fantastic. Plus I just beat my family in monopoly deal which makes the night a 10. And the wine a 8.5

Nice red. Wonderful Italian red on a nor’easter weekend. Nose fruity. no tannins. Brings you right back to the tasting room. I wish I can say anything is bad with this but it’s really unbelievably.
Don’t remember price. Would highly recommend especially when stuck inside making dinner.

Il vegro
Valpolicella
Classico superiore
Ripasso
2009
Cork was stuck but opened it up on a long week Thursday. Better as it opened up as it’s 17 years old. Really nice smooth wine when some older wines tend to be more brownish in appearance and higher alcohol tasting, this wine tastes still young. This is a really good wine for being this old and a bad cork. Would absolutely get this again. Would love to compare a young bottle to an older. Went great with chicken on the grill and a great salad. 9.2 $39 — 2 months ago

Cain five
2015
Five varieties

Dry. Nose is better over time, but wasn’t great at first. Wine opened up a bit after 4-5 hours. Don’t really think it’s that great. Maybe you have to leave it open. Maybe it’s the fact that the soccer teams lost. I’ve got an older one and we’ll see how that was. Paid 39. Suppose to be 130.
