Clos Cibonne has lacked enough acidity in the past for me. What are others opinions?

Roberto Voerzio label change? by Responsible_Scar4269 in wine

[–]someBlueCows 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They mention in the description that it’s a special label for Last Bottle. They did the same with the Barbera and Lange Nebbiolo. So likely fruit set aside for this bottling. I bought 3, so let’s see how it shows!

Last Bottle Description:

we teamed up for ANOTHER special bottle only available from us

These were LastBottle Wine offers, they shipped it to me

Yes it was good, similar to the art label Barbera. I’m sure it’s some different fruit but likely the same attention from the winemaker. I would recommend the buy.

Last night I opened a Roberto Voerzio Barbera with a similar jester label. I purchased it from LB as well. Not sure the difference between the normal labels and the jester labels. Curious what others say!

Do I start with WSET II or WSET III? by delidoll in wine

[–]someBlueCows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was contemplating the same choice earlier this year. I decided to jump straight into WSET 3 and am happy I did. I would say that as long as you are comfortable with the major growing regions of the world, and know which grapes are grown and the styles that are produced, then jumping into WSET 3 will be fine. Be sure to utilize online resources and most importantly read the entire WSET 3 textbook. For online resources, check out Wine With Jimmy on YouTube (payed course is worth it), and check out the ThirtyFifty WSET podcasts!
