A couple of days to hang out and discuss Tolstoy's War and Peace. Great people, great book, fantastic cooking and many fine wines indeed.
Nice chance to try this up and coming Cali producer.
The wines were just fantastic with a Risotto that had some freshly picked chanterelles and porcini and grilled chicken, grilled pointed cabbage head.
Spaghetti with bottarga, garlic, jalapenos, parsley and lots of olive oil. The tonno Rosso was deep and dark in taste, very different from the bottarga made from grey mullet. The wine was great and creamy enough to not draw out any metallic notes from the tonno Rosso bottarga, but honestly was even better on its own.
Pork pit roast with grilled fresh corn on the cob, fresh potatoes, grilled avocado and carrots and onions. These wines were outstanding.

Rhubarb color, great sweet apple and peach nose and also freshness on the palate and flowing nicely and narrowly and cleanly all along the great finish.
I like this type of light touch skin macerated wines that doesn't exhibit any nasty side notes.
Recommended and even better with some air actually.

Light red color. Heavy and enticing nose of chocolate liqueur praline. great sweetness and soft palate but nice and fresh and lovely. A little alcoholic heat plug on the finish that detracts but still very yummy.

2020 Sabelli-Frisch Zinfandel Faun Lauchland Vineyard 91 Points
USA, California, Central Valley, Lodi Jahant
Classic high-end Californian zinfandel with some rum raisins, figs, and real lovely expressive nose on a body that is surprisingly elegant and fresh (a trade mark for this new and exciting producer which I will get more wine from in the future for sure). Improved a lot day 2 (was drinking well already on day 1). Recommended.
