Anyone here an Italian wine fan? Barolos and Barbarescos are my favorite but also love a good Sicilian white, Primitivos, and of course Brunellos.

For sure!

Amarone, Sangiovese or a blend with Sangiovese (from Central Italy or Tuscany) and sometimes Chianti!

Barolo is a favorite of mine. Look out for Roero if you want a similar wine for a lower price point. Same grape but different part of the Langhe. Still classified as it’s own appellation (vs. the general Langhe Nebbiolo) but not the same history as Barolo proper.

Dry. Acidic nose. But for $10 this wine is amazing. Where else can you find a ‘14 vintage for that cost. I Get nectarine hints maybe plum. Very little body. Mild tannin; I wouldn’t mind putting out for guests. If you’re going for something dry, acidic, in the red department, can’t complain. I picked this one up from Trader Joe’s. Hope you find this helpful!

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.
