January 9, 2023 - Lost a step from the first two bottles. Not as fresh and less vibrancy. Drink now.

July 25, 2022 - The slightest whiff of yuzu, quince, butter. Fleeting if not altogether imaginary nose. Body is medium-light. Palate is almost all mineral and salt, maybe a hint of citrus, some honey aromatics appear only after tasting. This is a great wine for food but there's really not much to it on its own. I am a big fan of robust minerality and acidity but there's not much in this wine to balance that. No complexity or duration either. Nothing offensive or off either. Might make the absolute perfect wine for a battered fried cod. High alcohol (14%).

Full Pull 36 Bottles: Q1, 2/10/2019(Vinosia Fiano di Avellino) Hello friends. Once each quarter this year, we’ll be offering wines from 36 Bottles of Wine, my book that was released last September. We’re going to try to assemble all nine wines from the three months in question, but it won’t always be easy; some categories are only available during certain times of the year. My overarching goal is that we’ve offered all 36 wines at least once by the end of 2019. Also, if you read the book over the holidays and enjoyed it, please consider writing a review on Amazon or Goodreads. It’ll help other like-minded folks discover the title. Thank you! Now, onto the wines (and book). We’ve managed to source eight of the nine wines from Jan/Feb/Mar. The only exception is Grignan-les-Adhemar, which is a category we’ve had success offering in the past. I’ll continue looking for a bottle of Grignan, and in the meantime, I hope those of you who purchased the book will enjoy following along. [Excerpts from the book will be in italics.

I still remember the first time I smelled a good Fiano. Was that smoked paprika? Roasted hazelnuts? Some kind of exotically spiced honey? Those smoky/spicy/minerally complexities are hallmarks of this variety, perfect counterweights to a core of citrus and stone fruits.
