Dzvelshavi 2024
Georgian wine is yum!
I know Vin d'Ottawa,so many obscure varietals to explore & ancient winemaking ethos on display there!
Domaine De La Grand'Cour (Jean-Louis Dutraive)
Chapelle des Bois Fleurie Gamay 2023
Pure drudgery in a bottle! Way too much VA plus all the microbial funk that happens when the bretty shit hits the fan! I can't believe the producer actually thought this would be a good idea to put on the market! I have had 1 decent Dutraive a 2018 Chenas awhile back but this is just bleck!!! — 5 days ago
Bummer!
Yeah I know, but I got my $ refunded back thank goodness!
Els Jelipins
Penedès Sumoll 2022
@Tegan Marriott Sounds like quality producers and intriguing wine minus the VA. Never heard of that grape before.
Yes it's an indigenous varietal that's exclusively grown in Penendes. High acidity that beckons for rich foods!
Grifalco di Lucania
Aglianico del Vulture 2021
@Tegan Marriott just bought the 2022 a few weeks back. The tannins sound challenging! Looking forward to trying it. Not sure if I’ve ever had an Aglianico.
Don't let the tannins sway you. This was better on the 2nd day. Very similar to a sagrantino in tannic profile.

1st go with this producer & varietal, I was happy with the results. This particular varietal dzvelshavi, is grown/made by the producers wife's uncle's grapes. 4 months in qvevri & another 4 months in barrique. Nice minerals on display! — 19 hours ago
