QOTD-don't remember what I drank over this past 4th, was all good since I know what I buy is going to be good.

I would have to say best was a raspberry infusion dessert wine and the worst was a st croix. the st croix wasn't too bad though. QOTD: I didn't have too many wines this weekend.

Dogliani is more or less the washbasin of the Barolo valley (with all of the soil minerals ending up there) and the Dolcetto grown there is far, far, far superior to Alba. Ovada has a completely different character. Dolcetto from Acqui Terme is lighter, but there are several producers which are absolutely upping the class. (Dogliani, Ovada, Acqui, Alba and Asti are the five DOC dolcetto growing regions -- with Dogliani and Ovada moving up to DOCG). To do an appropriately representive flight of Dolcetto, you need one from Ovada and you desperately need one from Dogliani (maybe Chionetti Bricolero 06). You might also consider St. Ubaldo Dolcetto d'Acqui Superiore (30% oak aged) I don't want to be a wise ass :) but the pronunciation is "dolcetto dalba", (not dolcetto di-alba), same with d'asti and d'acqui. I agree mostly with your summation of the wine. It remains undervalued and of course, undermarketed. How about some Dolcetto from Dogliani and Ovada?
