I am a fan of the STs, but they have gotten pretty pricey, as I guess many popular wine regions have.

QOTD – laid back scenic beauty, wine and food.

Hmmmm. When I click on the Il Pino link to go to the Wine Library page for it, you quote the Wine News description, “Medium ruby hue. Pauillac-like aromas of black currant, citrus peel and graphite are perfectly charming and show no herbaceousness. Well-integrated flavors of blackberry, dried herbs and spicy cedar offer hints of mocha. Elegant close. 2,300 cases” No herbaceousness? You were emphasizing how green it was. Were you and Wine News tasting the same wine?

Qotd: overrated wines…then i think about how fun it would be just to visit, my initial reaction is the way the media has over advertised the wine.

Gary- I’m new to the show. watched this episode because i like Tuscan wines. I have to say the look on your face was classic when you tasted the il Pino- you looked like you were going to vomit- made me chuckle. Keep up the great shows, will continue to watch. will be coming up to the Library soon to pick up an order and check out the store. Sal

Loved your father’s day show!, I lost my dad this year and he and I enjoyed and shared a passion for wine. I posted your episode on my facebook page in his memory and for all of those who have lost a father. Your Dad is one cool dude and that is clearly genetic, thanks, Frank

QOTD: Where’s the vines? I say that because when we were in Italy two years ago, we took the SR2 from Abbadia San Salvatore to Pisa and back and then the next day to Florence and back, but didn’t see one vine from the road. If you’ve ever been down that stretch, you know that you can see for miles. Obviously there are many vineyards and wineries in the area, we just completely missed them. Next time we’re in Italy, I hope to do more of a wine tour than a hurried history tour.
