    Wow! Three 90 pointers. Awesome. I really like Barbarescos and Barolos – both are excellent and age-worthy. Barbarescos seem a little harder to come by in my area.

    Would love to be downing some of these Barbarescos (and their Borolo cousins), but those price points are too high! Will try to drink more though, if possible…

    I’ve enjoyed ’01 Prunotto Barbaresco recently; had the ’04 and think it’s still too young. That ’05 must have been super tannic.
    Good show.
    What’s up with the hat?

    Does anyone here really think that’s a fair way to grade a Barbaresco? I had a 99 Produttorri Montestefano last week and it took 6 hours in the decanter to show well.

    Nebiollo needs air or bottle age to show it’s best.

    Congrats on the J-e-t-s, jets, jets, jets

    Six nebbiolos in December and notta one was a pazzzz. That’s why I’m such a fan.

    QOTD: This year is really a dartboard. all the “strong” teams fizzled in the last three weeks. Are the Cowboys 4 real? Cincy and Philly played their key people and laid the proverbial eggs. Yikes.

    Best guess: Chargers over the Vikes, 32 to 24

    I have been to Barbaresco this summer, including Cigliuti, drank with owners.
    Awesome wines, will have one tomorrow and report back.
    I love the fact barbaresco’s vacuum your mouth.
    One of my favorite wines, definitely my favorite grape nebbiolo, it rocks.
    basarin 2001 is outstanding.

    FYI- PATS WILL NEVER PLAY COLTS FOR SUPER BOWL, BOTH TEAMS IN AFC .

  • Hey Gary,

    Awesome episode, I’m a huge nebbiolo fan. It’s so easy to taste so many different wines. This was a good reminder that I need to go get some Barbaresco very soon!
