Winemaker dinner with Giuseppe Vaira (RPM Steak - Chicago, IL): A terrific wine from a challenging vintage and only the second commercial release for Vajra. The nose has dried fruit, dried florals and old leather. The palate is lighter and a bit rustic at this stage though it's still drinks with charm and character.

"Only for Sundays" (Chicago, IL): For a difficult vintage, an excellent showing. A light-styled wine that is aromatics-driven. Dried flowers, perfume, all that good stuff here. The palate does show relatively dilute and thin, but there is still life and red fruit to be picked up here. Quite a bit of acidity too. Given the point in time, Giuseppe mentioned that this was probably the product of an "underequipped winery".
