Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 29, 2015 - Super light weight Nebbiolo, and, IMHO, way way over priced. Maybe 12.95$ not the 24.00 I paid, based, I figure, on its provenance. The good: beautiful color, fresh, slowly revealing super light - to non existing - tannins, elegant fruit. The bad: thin, riding on coat tails of its Piedmont origin - probably it's biggest flaw - kind of empty. The ugly: the price, Short lived, over the evening, take away the alcohol, and you have an odd Kool-aid flavor. Professional critics overstated the quality/character. I went back and read the original Garagiste email, it was to be the second coming. It isn't. If you have some, as do I, pull it out for indiscriminate guests, the last bottle of the evening or take it to a party. I just don't see long term here.

Nor do I see how this review is the antithesis to Ideas' profile, which simply expresses the same mixed feelings we all (most of us sentient wine-drinkers, anyway) have toward using an ill-conceived, RP-conceived points system as a primary lens through which to view/evaluate our wines. For what it's worth.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion in a completely subjective field, and as such, no one should name call or bash.
