I opened a Montepulciano from Abruzzo. Never knew it was a grape and just thought it was a region

Spanish Grenache, paired with a nice charcuterie board

Where is that from? I know garnachas are big here, but many regions produce garnacha for export.

Castilla
The grape is Garnacha Tintorera

Interesting. A meld. Must be lovely.

Hearty but smooth.

For sure. Very earthy and peppery. Almost drinks like a cab franc

Spot on with cab franc. It’s a great wine.

Cool, I'll look out for it in the Texas sections. Texas has better wine game than I initially thought.
I opened up a Barolo from Azienda Agricola Icollirossi. I got it for $29.99 and the Vivino average price is $70. Pretty good for the price. I also had another Nebiolo that was cheap. The guy at the store said it's the same grape and made the same as Barolo but they have strict licensing laws in Italy so it's not technically a Barolo.

Bump: Had the 2016 Parigi Nebbiolo d'Alba and the 2016 Barba Vasari Montepulciano d'Abruzzo last night. I'm running through italian reds right now.
Side note: Has anybody tried the Ridge Petite Syrah? Total Wines just stocked it last week.

Not it isn't the same as Barolo at all. Nebbiolo is the grape. Nebbiolo is wine produced to drink the year following release. Barolo is the pick of the litter of the grapes (and the terroir) and is released several years after bottling.

So I contacted my favorite vineyard in Tuscany. It's in Gaiole in Chianti. I'm arranging to have several (well maybe more than several) cases shipped. I'll be getting 1995, 1996, 2001 and 2010 Chianti Classico Riserva and a case or two of their Super Tuscans. I can't wait.

Ya I realized that after talking to somebody about Nebbiolo. Didn't realize when I wrote that shite the aging difference I guess the guy at Total Wine has more knowledge than Siegel's

What’s a decent Amarone that people are drinking these days that’s readily available?
