Barberas Are Such Savory Values! Latest: 2023 Barbera D'Asti from Marchesi di Barolo's Abbona Winery ($21); Packed with Black Cherries, Red Currants, and Raspberries, with Bits of Nutmeg Nestled In; Usual Zingy Acidity and Full Body Make It a Match for Robust Red Sauces; Delish!

A pretty nose of white peach, honey, orange zest, honeydew melon, lychee and a pinch of lemon. Taste mimics nose. Complex and layered. A pithy note enters at mid-palate. Light to med. body, fresh and ample acids. Nicely concentrated. Delicious!

The best sound 🎶 ever… Barolo flowing and crushing into the glass 🍷

#MondayMotivation, from the foot of the SF/Oakland Bay Bridge is this Fat Dragon Mourvèdre from Dry Creek Valley. There is a nose of black cherry, damp soil & leather with tastes of blackberry, tobacco & light pepper. Found this one at Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant.

A culture shaped by the humble grape. Experiencing Rioja is more than a wine tasting. The architecture, food, culture, and people express the essence of what makes wine so enjoyable.

Love a classic Margaret River, especially by the pioneer of the region, Vasse Felix. Rich, lifted blackcurrant with structured waves of green pepper, a dusty, minty topline & long, liquorice finish. #margaretriverwine
