Nerello mascalese and schiava. I also love Nebbiolo even though it’s not maybe lesser known in the Italian wine world

like

Aglianico is a great, heavier-bodied red typically grown in southern Italy

like

Cannonau! Sardinian variety.

like

True. It’s like Barolo, which is just a Nebbiolo from a particular region.

Whenever I see a Pecorino I buy it. Lesser known white Italian varietal that probably confuses people, so usually a good value too. Sometimes has a nutty character that is quite unique.

like

Amarone is uncommon to run into. I love the deep rich texture and complexity even if it tends to be dangerously close to being sweet.

like

Good wine but often too “big”. I have a few bottles I save for big BBQ/Grilled meats.

like

i love a good number of the reds produced by Pizzolato Winery in Treviso. They are organic and don’t have sulfides.

Schioppettino is a favorite. The rockstars at Matthiasson in Napa make a great one.

like

The producer Le Coste out of Tuscany and the famous Sicilian natural wines from Frank Cornelissen. Drink anything from these interesting wine makers.

Headed to see Frank tomorrow! So excited. Had a 2006 Magma the other day at dinner that 🤯

Ah yes, that lesser known Italian red

Barbarescos are lovely and slightly more approachable than their big brother (my favorite) Barolo.

Also love the wines made with sangiovese grapes

I enjoy Primitivo’s. Very similar to Zinfandel’s

I had to double check, but these are two names for the same grape. Italian/American name distinction

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.

My dad is turning 60 in January, and it popped into my head that I could get him a bottle of champagne from the year he was born (1963). But my research shows that Moët & Chandon's Dom Pérignon wasn't produced in 1963.

Can any wine or champagne enthusiasts recommend a good 1963 vintage, or was that an off year for champagnes? And if that's the case, have any other recommendable 1963 vintage wines?

I am looking for wine decanter tags that are writable. I’d like to find a vintage looking silver option, but they all require engraving. I’m looking for something writable that I can change the label on when I host wine parties and I have a couple decanters on the table. Anyone have something similar and can share a link with me?

Big fan of this one. Not super bold. More velvety. Subtle leathery taste, hints of vanilla! I picked up a half case for 120, or $20 a bottle! I may actually buy more. 8/10 for price and taste. Very elegant.

This 2010 was to early to pop. After 3 hours it started to show the depth and complexity. True to form, this is an old world style of wine giving more gritty earthy notes.

I need advice from the collective. It seems like there is a trend to sell wine in unique bottles. The only problem with this, those bottles will not fit into my wine fridge. Has anyone transferred wine to standard bottles and are you concerned about the wine one it hits the air? I’ve looked at vacuum stoppers but not sure if this is a good idea or not.
