Introduction

We had a variety of wines for our steak dinner.

Flight 1 - Initial wines with apps (2 Notes)

  • 2017 Michele Chiarlo Barbaresco Reyna 89 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco

    Tannic but good fruit comes through, needs time but opened up as we drank with steak, $120 in restaurant, might try again.
