Tettineive Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2013

Absolutely excellent. Aromatics actually faded a bit with a 1.5 hour decant, so might watch that in the future. Lots of earthy cherry. Not overly refined, but in a good way - tastes like the older school piemonte that it is, with just the right bit of earth and leather. Excellent acid and a long pure finish. Great pairing with Kinderhook pork chops with a porchetta style seasoning. — 4 months ago

Scarpa old-school FTW!

Sella Antica

Red Blend

Enjoyed at Brick and Brine. Is a blend, often featuring Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with velvety tannins that make it versatile enough to be served slightly chilled with grilled meats, spicy international dishes, or enjoyed on its own. — 4 months ago
