  Glad you enjoyed the Chionetti Fox..,the Winex note mentioned it would be ... ... the Chionetti and the Anna Abbona within a short time of eachother and the AMA seemed a cut above, but I also learned that I don't in all likelihood have an enthusiasm for the grape. Truth be known, I'm still waiting on a Nebbiolo that wows me also, but I've seen... Read More

  I'm going to resist the urge to say it's Petite Sirah, aka Durif, and ... and Chionetti and Anna Maria Abbona make the best there is--both specialiize in it, although AMA also makes a little Nebbiolo.  To me, it's like Beaujolais (except I don't really love Beaujolais) in that you can get totally competent juice for $15, but for $20 you get th...

  Hello! My name is Cheryl. A friend just told me about this site and I have to say I am loving it! I have mainly been a Napa Valley Cab drinker. Recently I have been introduced to Italian wine and have found I really enjoy it. So I am looking for some good suggestions on some Italian reds and any other good reds. Thanks! Read More

  Enrico E Marziano Abbona Terlo Ravera Barolo 2006

  Snoothrank:

  One of the most beautiful, enticing, and voluptuous noses of a red wine I have ever tried. The scent alone is good enough to drink. Too bad this $80 bottle doesn't live up to the nose in taste. Smooth, berry flavor, but if I'd blind-bought the bottle (instead of having the privilege to taste it included in a dinner), I would be very disappoin... Read More

  I'm making a lasagne bolognese for a dinner party (the whole deal from scratch, including pasta) and I want to get an interesting Italian red to pair with it. I'd love to get a Barolo but the cost is a bit prohibitive...I'm like to keep it at about 15 a bottle or less.Also maybe a light Italian white to have with appetizers. Unfortunately I live...

  I came across an interesting article this morning at The Wine Searcher about some protectionist trade regulations that may cause Argentine wine prices to rise.In the article by W. Blake Gray, Paul Hobbs predicts that the regulations will signal the end of an era for high quality malbec that costs less than $12. Although I've never really been at... Read More

  Marziano Abbona Barbera d'Alba Rinaldi 2010

  Snoothrank:

  Slightly briary and richly fruited on the nose with blackberry, cocoa and oily wood combining nicely with a bit of a musky undertone. This is opulent in the mouth and slightly creamy, with smooth, polished cocoa-tinged tannins adding volume in the mouth. The fruit is a touch muddy here and the texture turns slightly pasty, but this does deliver ... Read More
