Introduction
The whites were iced and there was incredible food to accompany the wines: Caviar and uni pasta, seared tuna, cheeses, nuts, fresh scallop ceviche, fruit-and-nut-crackers... it was hard to resist the foods until I was done tasting!
2009 Fratelli Pezzuto Roero Arneis 88 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Alba, Roero
Arneis. Hint of grapefruit, sour tropical tones - reminiscent of moscato. P: light body, great flavors, strong acid, clean, and elegantly-fruited. Great!

2008 Comelli Friuli Colli Orientali Soffumbergo 85 Points
Italy, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Friuli Colli Orientali
Med- garnet, lustrous in the glass. Aromas of dusty wood, olive. In the mouth it has dusty, baked fruit, med tannins, med acid, light+ body. Tastes well-balanced, but not exceptionally moving to me.

2008 Podere San Cristoforo Maremma Toscana Carandelle 80 Points
Italy, Tuscany, Maremma, Maremma Toscana
Sangiovese. Med- ruby in the glass. A pure town of beautiful cherry on the nose. The palate was a letdown - sawdust. Med- body, dusty tannins. Maybe the oak will calm down on this with age? Not sure if that happens with wines like this.

Italy, Marche, Rosso Conero
Rich savory, warm fruit on the nose. Faintly oxidative character. In the mouth, med tannins, med/med- acid supports rustic fruit. Satisfying.
