  April 14, 2024 - "Pairs with Sadness" (Chicago, IL): Really, I don't get these wines at all. They're so inconsistent, and at the price they demand, a good bottle of Pepe probably runs around $1500. A miss for me here, it's just too oily and oxidized. A wine this young has no business looking as dark as it did. Kind of funky but not in the way I care for. Just kind of another weird, oxidative white wine. Miss me with that.

  March 18, 2024 - First EP Trebbiano so I don't know if it's supposed to be this way or if it's flawed. Grilled lemon, apricot, kitchen herbs, and apple cider vinegar nose. It feels a little natty, even has a little bit of spritz. Saline and quinine bitterness on the finish. Not quite what I was expecting.

  March 17, 2024 - Women Who Wine & Their Arm Candy (Estelle, St. Paul, MN): Light-medium to medium gold color. Drank a glass over 45 minutes. There is a brightness here that is immediately inviting, with loads of ripe stone fruit, a savory element, apricot and stones with a round full body. Always a vibrant and enjoyable twist.

  December 30, 2023 - This was actually a Vecchie Vigne Selezione bottle, but leaving the note here since it seems CT folks are not using that designation (though it exists in the database).
  
  Golden hued. Intense stone fruit, so ripe it bordered on grilled pineapple but yet somehow not quite tropical. Not fuzzy feeling in the mouth as ultra ripe bouquet suggested, instead it was austere with just a touch of roundness in the finish. Seriously good wine.

  July 21, 2023 - Deliciously austere and polished. Stone fruits and honey flavor without the sweetness. Really evolved with time and as it warmed up.
