    Gary, I feel sorry for your wife. She’s going to have to kiss that scruff on your face for awhile. My Redskins are going to drop the hammer this weekend.

    No, I’ve never had one, but I’m going to try the Oberto, because it’s at the right price point for my budget. Thanks for the recommendation!

  • PaVo

    I’ve wanted to try some for a long time and again, you never want to pick a wine in the above $x price range and have it be bad, or moreso, a miss. But I’m certainly going to do some homework and search a few out!

    Not to start the smack talk…but…GO SKINS; don’t break my heart two weeks running.

    I’ve never tried a Barolo before but I have one in my cellar right now. It’s a 2001 Barolo Serralunga by Paolo Manzone, and I hope to pop it open in a few years. Hopefully it will become my favourite style of wine.

    QOTD: Yes, I’ve had Barolo before but I haven’t taken the time to really think about it.
    This episode was extremely timely as our monthly tasting group is doing Piedmont this
    Saturday night.

  • amgryger

    QOTD: I’ve said it many times before, but I will say it again. Nebbiolo is my favorite grape. I’ve only ever had one nebbiolo wine that was a complete let down for me. There is something about its flavor profile that I respond to in a way that transcends normal flavor experiences. So to answer the QOTD, I don’t think I can actually pick a favorite.
