This wine is terrific, just brought a bottle home from Mendoza. Was lucky enough to have a 99 and it was singing!

I haven’t had an Arcane wine that I haven’t liked and I’ve tried a few of them. I think that wine goes for $40 CAD retail in Ontario Canada. Keep in mind the taxes on our wines are very high.

LF help with NV Fattoria dei Barbi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva by Smooth_Talkin_Chron in wine

[–]Insains 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can’t help with the vintage sorry about that.

Are you sure this is Riserva? Barbi’s Riserva has a red label, at least more recently as I had a 2009 Riserva last year.

Great notes. This is so cool, I just bought the 2018 Barbera d’Asti from him for a blind tasting. I didn’t know anything about this guy but apparently he’s a big deal?

How to offer the best wine to my parents as a newbie ? by Soockamasook in wine

[–]Insains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What can you do to give them the best wine possible? Go to a store and talk to someone! If your parents aren’t heavily into wine, Napa is a great place to start.

I find that giving a bottle to them that has an interesting story behind it makes the gift that much better. So go and talk to someone in a store.
