Pinnacle Donald Shannon with Vias

Map of Valpolicella Italiano: Mappa della Valp...Map of Valpolicella Italiano: Mappa della Valpolicella (Photo credit: Wikipedia)TerraDora dep Paolo Coda di Volpe. 2010.. tale of the fox. rich wine on the palate and great acidity with lots of verve...lots of high notes on the palate.. and not that much minerality.I really like the wines from this producer and from this part of Italy. Vesuvius and Naples

TerraDora Falanghina 2010... agin with the rich flavors.. thick like a chard without the overt sweetness

Frattoria del Cerro Vino Nobile.. may not be showing as well as it should... a little off

Bertagnoli Honey Flavored Grappa... grappa isnt my cup of tea.. the honey picks up some citrus notes but still a little like kerosene

Bertagnoli Limoncello... made from Sorrento lemons.. not as heavy as others I have experienced . definitely for lemon lovers

Bertagnoli Mirtillo Grappino.. a little grappa mixed with a berry reminiscent of blueberry... pretty

La Salette Valpolicella 2010  .. green young vine nose, which follows through on the palate

I Pragni Valpolicella Ripasso 2009.. italian stink which always reminds me of fall.. nice enough juice but not really exciting.

on friday I tasted these with bernie

Finca Nueva Spain 2009 100% Viura with Rioja designation. very rich in mouthfeel. acidity on the side of the tongue.. interesting in a good way

Rio Madre Rioja 2010.. 100% Graciano one of the grapes allowed in Rioja.. teeth staining purple and loads of extracted juice berry fruit...going to be a good one for the next wine tasting
