Saturday, October 21, 2017 - 2017 New York Wine Experience Trip; 10/16/2017-10/25/2017 (New York City, NY): This medium ruby wine is comprised of 92% Sangiovese, with the remainder split between Malvasia Nera and Colorino. Offering bright raspberry and cherry fruit with a supporting cast of baking spices, tobacco and loamy earth, it is medium-bodied, freshly acidic and has nicely integrated alcohol (listed as 13.5%). While deceivingly approachable from the attack through the solid middle palate, it flashes some gritty tannins on the lengthy finish. Give this one some time. Drink 2019-2030.

This year the event is being held with limited attendance. We are taking a hard pass on anything from Manhattan. It is, unfortunately, a war zone...just like Manhattan from the '70s. I guess you could say that it is "a trip down memory lane" (unfortunately). We will not return to NY until they clean up their act.
