I decided to try G.D. Vajra Barolo tonight, and I'm pleasantly surprised! This is my first serious dive into Italian wines, as I usually gravitate towards French.
I'm finding the Barolo quite intriguing. There's a subtle sweetness balanced by a refreshing dryness, creating a really captivating flavor. I think this is what people mean by 'mouthwatering acidity' – it makes you want another sip!
Cheers everyone!

I almost bought that bottle today! I’m a big fan of that producer and did buy two bottles of their Langhe Rosso which is my favorite weekday bottle. Now I’m really tempted to crack one open! Enjoy!
Bourbon. It’s been that kind of week.
Going to a Spanish tapas place for a birthday dinner in a bit. Definitely getting a nice Tempranillo to enjoy there.
Vajra is a fabulous producer, and their Albe Barolo is among the best values in Piedmont.
Cheers!
I’m literally drinking that haha
Picking up 2 more tomm
Interesting, I just brought home a bottle of that from my wine of the month club, haven’t had it before, but looking forward to trying it once my dry January is complete.
Had my time with young Barolo. No more infanticide for me. Spanish Garnacha -Honoro Vera from Calatayud. Nice for $8. Spain has been my go-to for a few years

2019 Ridge East Bench Zin. Cheers
Assyrtiko – Monograph. It’s not as weird as I was expecting, but there’s this slate stone with a lil algae aftertaste. I don’t know if I like it or not.
Been on my mind all day and still haven’t decided.
Cheers to all! No wine tonight. I’m on a cocktail kind of night.
Cracked a 2013 Grgich Hills Estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon. Delicious. Wine candy tartrate crystal’s found on the cork.
Trying a glass of Willamette Valley Vineyards Whole Cluster Pinot Noir. So far so good.
Guido porro Barolo
2020 No Girls Doubly Lucky #8
From Cayuse (Walla Walla, Washington)
Had a glass of that last night. Good stuff.
I just dumped a bottle of 2012 Terra d’Oro zin down the sink so I’m open to suggestions.
Gin martini followed by a California Red. Nothing special. That is for Saturday and Sunday
Kinda young, but yum.
Big fan of G D Vajra. Great value. Now keep the secret.
Kontos Cabernet for me.
Inexpensive rioja reserva for me!
2021 Sandhi Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay
and 2020 Copain Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
Barolo as well! Castello di Perno 2019. Straddling the line between classic and modern.
Delectus Boulder Falls Cabernet 2016. Delicious.
2020 thread feather Cabernet Howell mountain. Quite good for a 35$ 2020. Nice acidity, full bodied and delicious. Awesome way to start a weekend away in borrego springs with the family
