Yet Another Vintage Port Flex Post (Tasting Selections From 1985 – 2022)
Last week, I published a bunch of reviews from an NYC media tasting of selections from the (stellar) 2024 Port vintage. I typically follow those type of posts up with another post of other, older selections of vintage Ports that I tasted at the same event, and I offer them without much shame as simply […] This article was originally published on 1WineDude.com .

“Unquestionably Among the Greatest Wines in the World” (Tasting the 2024 Port Vintage)
You’ll find no shortage of Vintage Port coverage on these virtual pages (something that, as I taste more and more vintages of the stuff, has become a source of amusing vexation as I search for whether or not a VP that I want to feature here has already been reviewed and featured here…). And you’ll […] This article was originally published on 1WineDude.com . Grab the books! Source

Lambrusco, Reconsidered (VentiVenti Recent Releases)
Lambrusco has a pretty well-established reputation, right? Exuberant, refreshing, fun, sometimes boring (truth hurts, people, truth hurts). But what happens when you take those qualities and apply a little more patience and ambition? I got to explore that question in June, when I sat down (virtually) with brothers Riccardo and Andrea Razzaboni of VentiVenti for […] This article was originally published on 1WineDude.com .

The Start of Something (Thoughts on Oltrepò Pavese Classese, and La Genisia Recent Releases)
“There’s something happenin’ here…” The “here” in this case is Oltrepò Pavese, in Lombardy’s western edge, in northern Italy. It happens to sit right on the 45th parallel, which as a wine nerd you will have at some point heard of (as it is roughly where you can also find Piedmont, Burgundy, Bordeaux, and the […] This article was originally published on 1WineDude.com .

Small Is Big: Andreola Valdobbiadene Recent Releases
Andreola‘s Stefano Pola wants you to know that Prosecco’s main ingredient—Glera—is not a grape that should be dismissed as somehow ignoble. “Considering that from a single grape variety we can create a Brut and Extra Brut, and considering its versatility with food, this is not a smaller grape variety,” he told me during an online […] This article was originally published on 1WineDude.com .

“Fantasy Land” (Tenuta di Castellaro Recent Releases)
“It’s really an incredible place; it’s a fantasy land, really.” So sayeth Daniele Sassi, Export Manager for Tenuta di Castellaro, a produce that I’ve never visited in person but, after tasting through media samples virtually with them and seeing pics of their location, have instilled within me an intensely jealous rage for not having yet […] This article was originally published on 1WineDude.com .
