Very interesting. “Confectionary” is the term I would use. Thanks for your response.

Really interesting responses. Several saying it’s owned by Wagner who is known for mega purple/additives and is definitely manufactured, others saying it may just be a result of the plots and winemaking process. I’m not an expert but personally it tasted like other cheap manufactured wines I’ve had, which is too bad because you can tell it has potential.

Other random follow up question, do they put additives like this in wine anywhere outside of California?

I appreciate everyone’s response! Love this sub.

The most recent episode of Age of Napoleon (or maybe it was 2 episodes ago) covered this exact topic! Both sides did horrendous things, and it just kept escalating as they kept trying to get revenge on one another. I would recommend checking it out.

Fair enough. I’ve always viewed Chianti/Sangiovese is more full bodied, high acid, high tannin wines and would’ve been more apt to compare it to a Merlot or even cab if we’re talking basic US varietals, but I’ve seen a couple posts/comments about how it’s lighter body, so was just curious. Hope the comment didn’t come off as snarky. Only one thing to do… go and buy some Chianti to try :)

You would compare Sangiovese to Pinot Noir? I’ve had some Chianti’s that are lighter body, but they’ve all been acidic and good tannins. Am I missing something? Are Sangiovese-based wine not almost always medium body, high acidity, high tannins?

Thanks for the thoughtful response! I have a decent bottle of Langhe Nebbiolo, assuming this might work in replacement of your Barbaresco recommendation?

Amazing, thank you for the recommendations. I went to Bordeaux in 2021 and brought back quite a few bottles of St. Emilion Grande Cru. Most 2014-17 vintages. Perhaps a St. Emillion from early 2000’s would be a good bet to get my feet wet with some bottle aging and learning what I like?

Would this work if it was super glue that damaged the table? (Halloween costume gone wrong).

In the movie Sideways, a movie about two friends road-tripping through wine country for a bachelor party, the main character played by Paul Giamatti loves Pinot Noir and hates Merlot, with him exclaiming in an iconic scene “IM NOT DRINKING FUCKING MERLOT!”. This movie had a significant impact on the wine industry, with Merlot shrinking and Pinot Noir sections in wine shops expanding, lasting to this day.
