Please quickly tell me what to buy! Prices are in the $50s
I have a half hour to decide what to buy. Tonight is the end of my first hospital rotation (8 days working 10.5 hour shifts) and I want to celebrate!

I’d go Albe🤙🏻

Vajra Barolo or Chorey Les Beaune from Toillot would be by picks.

If you like Nebbiolo, that Langhe is actually one of my favorites. Super clean, gorgeous fruits and has this great orange zest note on the end of it – but that’s entirely my biased pick. The Albe was wine of the year a couple years back, you won’t go wrong with it. Not super familiar with the other 3.

I second the Langhe. I had it at a blind tasting dinner party and it came in first place out of the 10 bottles we had. It was one of the most enjoyable bottles I’ve ever had.

They’re all great, but too young! Maybe the Chorey 👌🏻

Personal fave, but I love the Saint Cosme Gigondas

If you are in a wine shop with employee picks. You should be asking them

Beaucastel hands down. 2021 was a difficult year but Beaucastel is a solid choice, especially around $50.

No way sassicaia is 50s. Otherwise I’d say buy that bottle!

I would ask Ted or someone in the shop!

If the Cannubi is 2021 get that, else get the Albe, it’s awesome also and it’s 2021 which is a great vintage

Why lie when there is literally a price sticker on bottles?

Fixin or Chorey Les Beaune

What do YOU like to drink? that’ll help guide the answers! Notwithstanding that…
The Produttori Langhe Nebbiolo is great if you like high-acid, more structured reds. Would go well with food. The Vajra Barolo (Albe) is a good entry level Barolo that will be a touch more expensive.
Coudolet de Beaucastel is a nice southern Rhone blend. Will be quite fruit-forward.
The Tollot-Beaut Chorey-les-Beaune is a good entry-level red Burg. This producer makes some good stuff in the $50 range.

That Albe one is amazing. I ve been to the winery and this was super good, even when young ( witch this is ) Might want to decant.

I’d go for the Sandro Fay Sassella Il Glicine. Valtellina wines are among my personal favourites.

I would get the Saint Joseph, yum

Lots of good stuff here. I’d absolutely grab that Domaine de la Colombier Crozes-Hermitage. I’ve had their Hermitage and it’s spectacular. Probably not a $50 bottle either, right? I’m guessing it’s somewhere in the $30 range.

I would go with a Ted pick. Ted sounds cool. I might try the Gigondas ( St. Cosme)

GD Vajra Barolo. Fantastic bottle

The Vajra Albe is my go to Entry Level Barolo… it goes for about $30 by me, and punches well above its weight.
In my opinion their whole line does.

Albe is a tasty Barolo made to drink young. I get it for $40.

The Langhe is a pretty simple wine. And in Europe it retails for 26 US dollars, so I would go for a Barolo if it is in the 40-50 range

I’ve been using AI and it’s been a great som

I’d go Barolo, I’ve travelled around that region (near Lake Garda and into Piedmont) and the wines there are consistently good.
Feels like the right bottle for a proper celebration as well 🍷

that langhe nebbiolo is slightly lower end but absolutely delicious. prob best bang for ur buck. nice and light, vibrant, and youthful. still a good complex nebbiolo tho!

Vajra Albe 21 is delish I’d buy that I doubt some of the others are in the 50s.
