Pertinace

Barolo Nebbiolo 2022

9.0

Pretty light for a Barolo. Decent for the price, though it behaves like Dolcetto. Bright red fruit, rose hip, leather, fresh acidity.

You are what you drink, and I was established in 1975. This was inexpensive and good enough with some short rib.

I was going to post on a langhe nebbiolo that I had last week, but then i looked to see what others had posted and found that I already had notes from a couple months ago. Totally forgot I had it. Was the same vintage too. 😝

Dave

Oh I've done that! But my point this time is that the wine is pretty forgettable 😂

Vinos Valtuille

Pago de Valdoneje Roble Bierzo Mencía 2023

Dave

9.1

Northern Wisconsin with the family this week. I brought wine from the USA, Africa, Italy, and this one from Spain. Very nice! I guess i wrote this up a few months ago, so no need to repeat myself. Excellent value wine.

Château Potensac

Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Dave

9.3

Delectable didn't give this vintage much love, but Delectable has been shatting the bed lately. This wine is fantastic. I stole a sip, and letting it get a little air before steaks this afternoon. Wonderful medley of fruit and savory components. Lots of sediment. Nice balance, it's going to be perfect with the ribeyes.
Listening to Sixpence None the Richer. Their bassist Justin left the world too soon this week. He was a gifted musician and a fun guy. — 5 days ago

I had such a crush on Leigh Nash...

We all did. I got a fun photo of her chewing on a rubber worm from my tackle box circa 1995 😅

Peirano Estate

Illusion Old Vine Zinfandel Blend 2022

Dave

8.9

A very dark blend, with Lodi Zin at the helm. Prune, bluebberies, smoke, nutmeg, cedar. Lush and heavy.

@Dave, I haven’t had any Peirano Zin since the 1990s at some of the ZAP tastings in Ft. Mason in the Marina District of San Francisco — fond memories, great times (until the crowds got to 3-5,000 for the general public tasting!! We had about 8-10 couples where we used to volunteer for Friday night glass washing duty so we could get into the Trade tasting and leave when the general public was let in — what a crazy wave of humanity that was!! I figure you woulda LOVED those crowds!! 🤔🤷🤣

Dave

Sounds like a hoot!
