sounds like a gevery style? I'll have to look this up.

More south than north. Round, plush, but not as powerful as something from Gevrey could be. I guess it's "brooding" in some sense. Very different from past Adelsheims, but pretty typically ripe Willamette.

They pushed the envelope with hang time on this one, getting some extra days in that cool, not too rainy period at the end of the season. Their gamble really paid off. The 2005 uses all French oak and about a fifth of it is new. David and Ginny are no longer married, but I'm sure they would happily reunite if it meant dropping dirt on the three of us!

no way, I just had this last night.
It's a bit sweeter than other years but it's still great stuff. - 750 mL said...

Really? Mine wasn't sweet at all.
...You had it last night? Me too. Cosmic. - said...

I bathed in it last night. This is getting freaky.

NV Mionetto, Prosecco Valdobbiadene "Sergio"

so typical of Mionetto. I hate their shit. I remember an interview with a master sommelier on Grape Radio and paraphrasing but in the gist of it he put it thus: Many wine drinkers talk a game. They say dry and favor sweet, ask for cellar temperature and over-chill, want terrior and buy Parker wines.

Sorry for soiling your glasses with this.
At the very least, Mionetto should write "Extra-Dry" on the label. - said...

Actually I neglected to mention this was the only one I hadn't tried. So it's not a wasted experience. Anything new should at least have one fair chance.

Hey, I have these magic beans to sell you. They're only $20, so if they don't work, it's OK. They're everyday beans.

Opinions are neither right nor wrong. They are opinions. If I stated,
"it's a fact Sergio sucks" then I'm wrong. Sergio deviates from my favored prosecco profile of crisp mineral crisp citrus/white fruit refreshing quality. Sergio is sugary. Not sweet fruit but legitimate sugar.
Also this is the same company that uses the same product in a psuedo-Tynant bottle with a MacDonalds packet of Peach Syrup wired to the neck.
I also dislike electra, moscato d'asti, most dessert wines including Y'quem, sweet ports, Australian muscats and any other of that ilk.
Sugar masks. So when I taste sugar my radar goes up and I ask what else is wrong. I've talked to too many winemakers in the last 14 years that have told me time and time again (excepting dessert wines)that RS or added sugar is a tool of the trade for when a wine goes awry.
In my personal and highly individualized not to be construed as inflammatory or influential in any way opinion a really good prosecco is Soligo.
