Martinenga Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2010

Opened a bottle in memory of my lost friend, Gino. This wine pleases with dry and chewy tannins balanced with cherry and currant. Little hints of licorice and spearmint. Gino would have loved this bottle ❤️🍷🕊 — 4 years ago

ZD Wines

Carneros Pinot Noir 2014

ZD Winery began as a partnership of two aerospace engineers whose initials formed the name of the winery: Norman de Leuze and Gino Zepponi. Ruby with ripe berry fruit aromas and toasty spice. On the palate ripe cherry and blackberry flavors with sweet vanilla oak notes, good balance. Medium+ finish, smooth tannins ending with fruit and cacao tones. Drink now! — 5 years ago

100% Erbaluce. 2016 is Santuvario's first vintage of white, named for Ivano Barbaglia's grandfather, from local variety Erbaluce (for which there is no DOC designation in Alto Piemonte). The vines are organically farmed and harvested by hand. The grapes are destemmed, fermented with native yeasts and macerated with skins for a month in a stainless steel tank. The wine is aged in steel, racked twice and bottled with minimal sulfur. Only 800 bottles produced.

ZD Wines

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Founded in 1969 by two rocket scientists, ZD takes its name not only from its founders, Norman de Leuze and Gino Zepponi, but also from the engineering term Zero Defects. Sleek in its design, but with serious thrust, comparisons could be made to Corison or Montelena Estate, as well as some Left Bank Châteaux. Tart cranberry, cherry, and plum abound with purity, followed by 70% cacao, fresh pine, and damp cedar. Some secondary coconut oil adds a slightly exotic feel to an otherwise old school, savory-styled Napa Cab. Excellent. 93+ — 8 years ago

@Ron R - I use the term Gopher somewhat accurately. @Isaac Pirolo can find deals that no one else can and that cannot be replicated.

@Ron R - I totally agree with you. There’s something about north of $75 that makes me want ultra outstanding. Entry level Myriad, RM, Quivet all live south of that point and are great!!

Produttori del Barbaresco

Riserva Pora Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2011

The 2011 Pora Riserva from Produttori del Barbaresco was exceptional! It was dry, raisiny, heavy on bright currant and cranberry.

This was absolutely phenomenal and brought back beautiful memories of my dear friend Gino as well as our friendship.

Happy Yule, Merry Christmas, and have a Happy New Year 🎊

U Toccu Pinot Nero 2015

The first wine of our wine progression dinner with Gino and Tia. Such an amazing Pinot from Mnt. Edna that doesn’t taste like a Pinot. So spicy, minerally and rich dark fruit that resembles a high end Southern Rhone. Paired phenomenally with the peach caprese, the varsi salami and the Jarlsberg cheese. — 6 years ago

This is a big RED that is drinking at its peak. Shared with my dear friend Gino who loved it. Cork fell apart on me but it didn’t detract from the marvelous tannins and minerality with lush red berries. — 7 years ago
