The Haunted
A wine in a state of evolution. Great Langhe Nebbiolo is such a treasure when produced at this level of quality. That haunting aroma of Nebbiolo in its complex and mysterious form. A shape shifter in a glass. To taste it's fine grained and firm tannin with bright lashes of forest berry and strawberry compote, for me is pure delight.
Au Natural
Friday tasting - a selection of really chill and delightful wines from Elena Fauci of Faro, Sicily. Italy. and some well made natural wines from Sarnin-Berrux
keep it real and tasty!
Why do you ask?
Waking up from a dream that was never mine.
Waking into a world that is not of my design
