2010 Antichi Vigneti di Cantalupo Colline Novaresi Agamium
4/27/2024 - Mimesis Likes this wine: 90 Points
A lovely Nebbiolo that's right in the middle of its drinking window. Took a few hours to open. At the lighter end of the spectrum, yet structured.

2022 Kirkland Signature Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée du Terroir Des Papes
4/26/2024 - Mimesis Does not like this wine: 84 Points
I made the mistake of buying this private label bottling based on the raves of the guy in front of me at CostCo - kind of like getting stock tips at the barber shop.
While not outright flawed, this insipid, strawberry-flavored cough syrup does a disservice to the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation. If there was such a thing as "Chateauneuf du Pape Nouveau," this would be it.
In the old days, wine like this would have been declassified. Luckily I paid under $20 for the bottle - dirt cheap for CdP - but that's actually expensive considering that most $15 Cotes du Rhone are better.

2021 Taboadella Dão Villae Branco
4/14/2024 - Mimesis Likes this wine: 89 Points
Reminiscent of a high-quality Albariño, this unoaked Dão has good fruit, medium body, a crisp mid-palate, and a characteristic, slightly sour acidity on the finish. While passable its own, it really shines with rich seafood dishes - in our case, Julia Child's Bouillabaisse recipe.
