Bolla

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2015

When Abele Bolla opened up Al Gambero Inn in the northern Italian town of Soave over 100 years ago, no one could have guessed that the favorite pastime of winemaking would continue for four generations. Deep Ruby with aromas of jammy berry fruits, spice and oak. On the palate cherry and dried plum with bold spice, floral, cacao and cedar. Structured firm tannins, nicely balanced on long finish ending with fruit, cedar and earthy spice. Just starting to drink well now with room to age. — 5 years ago

Temecula Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Earthy baked blueberry-boysenberry sauce smothers the senses. On the palate we are enveloped in a robe of silky tannins and astringent tart forest berries. Earthy herby goodness coats and tames young jam even in the '12 vintage.

Decanted 2 hours.

Temecula Valley Zinfandel 2016

I dare you to smell this and tell me you don't wish you had a fat juicy slice of boysenberry pie in front of you. This big boy packs and delivers. No wimpy wine here. Big, bold, in-your-face acidic, iron-fisted dark fruit. Not the fruity jammy zin of northern Cali. This is Italy on steroids. — 8 years ago

Claremont Cellars

California Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Balanced, easy drinking. Good body, not very heavy. Not very fruit forward, but tart finish. Overall a winner, and not bad for $9.99. — 6 years ago

Syrah 2015

Chocolate and leather envelope mounds of leafy cherry compote across the nose. Dark and earthy yet fruity enough without crossing the line of sweet. Earthy spiced inky berries emerge as the bottle breathes. A bigger bolder version of a Northern Rhône’s production. — 8 years ago

California Petite Syrah

Blackberry jam and lingering campfire incense nose. Pie. Pie. Blackberry Pie. Crusty and crumbly and baked to perfection. Berries burst upon lips' touch. Dessert in a glass, but by no means sweet. Highly astringent, succinctly slicing that pie on the finish.

Decanted briefly, but may certainly be decently liberally with gusto!

Montepulciano 2014

2 hours decanting minimum recommended. Blackberry, coffee and a little bret on the nose. Full berry tobacco and tannins followed with a bitey lengthy finish. A fighter! Atypical for montepulciano, a great disguise and perfect for a blind tasting to surprise a winey crowd. Pair with a mild gorgonzola cheese; the intensity of the aged bleu cheese I paired overpowered the wine, but was matching in the complememtary flavor palate. — 8 years ago

St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

2015. Good, but can’t compare with the 2014 we had at Sonoma Mission Inn in Sept 2019. Wouldn’t buy again for $50. — 7 years ago

California Malbec 2015

Decanted one hour:
Tobacco, leather, meatiness on the nose. This is a man's wine! Alcohol is strong in the final notes. 16%!!!
A drunken pool of blackberry and boysenberry liquor fills the palate, with white pepperiness and an astringent finish.
A slow sipper that draws you to embibe faster than advised. 0 to drunk in 20 minutes if you're not careful!

Coors Light Lager 2018

Camping with my daughter on Catalina island. I grew up in Colorado so the silver bullet and the banquet beer were staples in my family home. Heck I hit on Pete Coors daughter in high school, she turned me down more times than the sheets at the holiday inn. Ahh sweet memories. Did you know Coors was heavy into ceramics?? Go check it out. That’s you cliff Clavin fact of the day. Cheers! — 8 years ago
