Saracco 2006 Moscato d'Asti 7


Yummy, happy, and summery. A crowd pleaser. Roof top drinking with girls on 5/19.

A unique wine where the beautiful aromas of the grapes are enhanced by a crisp, nice acidity, a light fizziness and the sweetness of the natural residual sugar.
$15.29

Vietti 2000 Barolo di Castiglione Falletto 7.5


Very italian. Tannins but not too upfront. Spicey, herbs, leather, maybe some vanilla.
Enjoyed on a surprisingly chilly night with goulash and noodles
90 RP 90WS - RP-A medium garnet, it features dried fruit and flowers on the nose, a balanced, medium-weight palate, much freshness and force on the mid-palate and the close, and some interesting tar and leather notes for additional complexity
$38.00
