10/10/2018 - Al Ehrhardt wrote: NRI get this in most vintages, whenever I find some. Always enjoy it. Love the beautifully funky nose. A bit candied, which I don't recall from earlier vintages. Fresh cut flowers, raspberries, red cherries, strawberry, stone/minerals, earthy, pencil, and some green vegetables. Nice acidity. |

2015 Salcheto Obvius Toscana IGTSangiovese more |
10/7/2018 - Al Ehrhardt wrote: NRDark ruby. PnP. Young and tight at opening, wouldn’t have guessed Sangiovese without air. Better after a few hours. At $19, don’t think I’d buy again. |

2015 Christian Bonfils Côtes du Rhône Cuvée des Terre Rouges Vieilles Vignes Domaine de FontviveGrenache more |
9/29/2018 - Al Ehrhardt wrote: NRWow, did we really enjoy this! For $12, it really over delivered. Black fruits (cherries and blackberries), spice, pepper, garrigue, earthy, minerals. Never had one of their wines, so I grabbed two based on two strong recs from the guys on the floor. Went back today and grabbed their last case. |

2016 Jean Maupertuis Neyrou-PlageVin de France Pinot Noir more |

9/6/2018 - Al Ehrhardt wrote: NRPnP. Liked it a lot after opening. Really good, well structured. Not a gamay expert, but didn't expect such trying tannins, very pretty. With a couple hours of air, liked it less. Wouldn't buy again. |

9/13/2018 - Al Ehrhardt wrote: NRReally wanted to try a Bichi wine. Don't care for dolcetto, but bought it anyway, my mistake. PnP and better on night one. Second night the dolcetto grapeyness was too pronounced for me. Seemed like a well made wine, and will look for other wines from Bichi. |
