2020+2021+2022 + gift to Gerrits
...if possible, share last bottle with someone (summer 2022)
December 2020....really good. Don't remember specifics but know that I really enjoyed it. Great value, wish I could have bought more but it sold out fast!
Dec 2020....gift to Gerrits
Jan 2022....really good, again! Could drink this all day and night. This wine could qualify as 'a one and only' if you had to choose, it seemingly would go with many foods (tonight roasted chicken leg and roasted veggies). Rich, flavourful, smooth. Lovely! Great value.

Ferraton Père & Fils La Matinière Crozes Hermitage 2017, Ac, Rhône

one per year start 2021 + gift 1-2 bottles (Erin & Smitty would enjoy)
Nov/21.....when first tasted, no mistaking it for anything other than a french wine, had that certain flavour I cant always describe. After airing a while and certainly after a few days it became a very enjoyable quaff, though I doubt I would have purchased this many, 2 would have sufficed. Try next one late 2022.
Xmas 2021....gift to Erin
Sept 2022...gift to Smitty (cottage golf)
Sept 2025….had with pork loin at Norah’s. Decent. Certainly has mellowed out. Was surprised how medium bodied.

Piano Dei Daini 2015, Doc Etna Rosso
Sicily, Italy$20.25
2021+2023
July 2021.....had with Osso Bucco....lovely delicate medium bodied wine that would likely go with any meat or dish. No edges whatsoever. For the money, this was very special. Not too many wines from Sicily that I haven't really enjoyed. (92)
