Hidden Gems of Emilia-Romagna: The Wines of Poderi dal Nespoli
Let’s start the weekend on an exploration of the wines of the Emilia-Romagna wine region in north central Italy with a focus on the Poderi dal Nespoli winery. Recently I attended a virtual wine tasting led by wine educator, Fili ppo Bartolott a, and the winemaker of Poderi dal Nespoli, Scipione Giuliani . Despite the reputation of of its surrounding neighbors, Emilia-Romagna is one of Italy's underappreciated wine regions so lets change that one bottle at a time starting with Poderi dal Nespoli. All About the Poderi dal Nespoli winery The Poderi dal Nespoli winery is tucked into the rolling hills in the Romagna part of the region. Even though Emilia-Romagna is technically one region, they associate as two separate regions. If you’ve traveled throughout Italy you understand that each region has its own wi ne, cuisines and even dialect so these differences can be noticeable as you journey throughout th e country . Romagna is about an hour drive north from

The Silver Lining of Bolgheri: The Wines of Tenuta Argentiera
In the heart of southern Tuscany is one of o ne of Italy and Tuscany’s prestigious wine regions, Bolgheri . Wine lovers may be most familiar with this territory for the innovate “Super Tuscan” reds that hit the scene in the late 20 th century. I was introduced to these wines via a virtual tasting hosted by Argentiera and Studio Cru and led by Argentiera’s winemaker, Nicoló Carrara, whom has been their winemaker wince 2009. Nicoló Carrara In this article I feature the wines of Argentiera , a winery that takes pride in its distinctive reds made from Bordeaux grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot . Where is Bolgheri ? Bolgheri sits in the southwestern part of Tuscany covering over 3,700 acres of land . The area is in the shape of an amphitheater that hugs the Tuscan coastline for 8 miles . T he vineyards slowly slope down wards towards the Tyrrhenian Sea while being backed by hills and surrounde

Shiraz, mostly
Penfolds Koonunga Hill Seventy Six Cabernet Shiraz 2006 . Opens hard and abrasive, but softens in time. Spiced Christmas pudding and shellac. Stylistically true to the house. I think this was the first release of the Seventy Six. I've written about it before . . . Then as now - I wonder - How finely/cynically can you segment the market when you ultimately offer only one sort of (red) wine - something dense, full, warm and old fashioned. . . SC Pannell Adelaide Hills Syrah 2012 . The 2013 edition went on to win the Jimmy Watson. This would be a tricky wine in a 100% blinded line up. It has a DMS / über black currant nose; thankfully I spotted the Burgundy bottle, bringing my formulation back to cool climate Shiraz. . . Full and plump, cherry ripe, with lovely fine inky tannins. Wolf Blass Black Label 2002. Shiraz, Cabernet and Malbec. Barossa and Langhorne Creek. From my cellar. Cork (50% stained). A whiff of glue and v/a to start, but then it's all lush oak (there's F

Chateau Langoa Barton 2001
Is this the vinous equivalent of that old, comfortable, slightly moth eaten woollen cardigan at the back of your closet? An evocative nose - but odd (compared to what I’ve been drinking recently, which is not claret) - camphor and leather to open, a curious fusty perfume, it's only later that I find any fruit - more plum than black currant. Very savoury, long and fine tannins, leafy, mature, dense, meaty and inky. Quite suave. Riddled with brettanomyces, but likeable. On blind tasting - I've been reading Andy Clark's book - 'The Experience Machine' , it's about the idea that our brains operate as predictive machines. Our expectations (coloured by our conditioning) determine how we interpret sensory signals. . . For instance - I sniff at a blinded white wine - a hint of grass and green, it's very sharp in the mouth, medium bodied. . . I think, automatically and lazily - semillon. . . which makes me cautiously reflect every time I think semillon it ends up being a riesl

Cabernet Sauvignon: A Royal Rebel in B.C.’s Wine Country
International Cabernet Sauvignon Day is August 30 “Imagine a grape variety so revered it’s called the “King of Grapes.” Is British Columbia ready for the crown jewel of the wine world? You bet.
