Estencia Argentina Malbec Marco Zunino 2015

Tenuta Olim Bauda La Villa Barbera D'asti 2016, Doc

This was a very pleasant surprise. Barbera (the few ones I had tasted) tended to be tart. However, this one has a welcoming fruit nose, a nice palate, and a dry finish, which combined subside the tart hints and make it a well balanced wine. It also has a very appealing dark purple colour.

Prà Otto Soave Classico 2016

Enjoyed the lightness, the citrus subtle notes and floral hints.

Cave De Tain Grand Classique Crozes Hermitage 2015, Ac

I enjoyed this Crozes-Hermitage very much. 2015 was such a good year in the Côte du Rhone nord, that "lesser" appellations have given us very affordable wonders such as this one.

Domaine Berthoumieu Madiran Rouge 2012

Sometimes it's all about the pairing. Had this with some aged flank steak, caramelized onions and melted cheese sandwiches, and it worked wonderfully well.

Château La Fleur Pourret 2010, Ac Saint émilion Grand Cru

Drink it now! (Feb 2018)

Pardevalles Albarín Blanc 2016, Tierra De Leone

Staete Landt Annabel Sauvignon Blanc 2016, Marlborough

It pleases the crowd, without sacrificing integrity. Lovely Sauvignon Blanc.

Telmo Rodriguez Bodega Lanzaga Lz 2016

Poggio Delle Grazie Bardolino 2016, Doc

Very aromatic, it makes you wonder if the taste will live up to those expectations, and it does. Even with it's lightness and almost ethereal feel, it delivers a mouthful of goodness...
