Riserva Montebuoni Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2020

First of the 8 Castello di Ama chiantis served at the CdA dinner in NYC; one of my 3 favorites as well - well rounded, no excess acidity or tannins — 16 days ago

Napa Valley Merlot 2018

Blind #1. Got em. Got em good. Old world guesses of Rhone and Amarone! More like “Am’I’right’e?” No. They were Ama-wrong-e.
They called me “devious” for this one. 😏

Vigneto Bellavista Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2018

This is the La Casuccia CdA which wasn’t in the Delectable lineup - my third favorite of the CdA dinner - see the Montebuoni and Bellavista notes. Note that we also tasted the ‘07 La Casuccia but didn’t love it - actually seemed to have some funk to it — 15 days ago

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2021

Paid €45 for the bottle at Osteria Del Pavone. Marco was the wine captain and his recommendation was excellent! It was a delightful Chianti - rich and full!  we would get it again. Price was reasonable for a Restaurant.  — 3 months ago

Vigna l'Apparita Toscana IGT Merlot 2020

Considered the star of the CdA lineup, and similar to their chiantis which all have some Merlot blended in, but this was too much Merlot for me - had that plasticity I don’t love — 15 days ago

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2004

Second Chianti at the CdA dinner, and the most aged, but I didn’t love it - overly tannic, too much edge on it — 15 days ago
