Greetings! I hope everyone has had a good weekend and enjoyed some family and/or friend time this weekend. I recently purchased In Vino Pinot Noir from Italy. I was excited to try it given I hadn’t had Italian wines lately and hadn’t tried too many organic wines. I opened it and tried a taste right off the bat and wasn’t too impressed with it. I decided to let it open up a bit, so let it breathe about 45 minutes. The impression didn’t get too much better as it just seemed…well….flat. It had hints of dark cherry and some mineral, but it was meh. Perhaps I’ve had too many bold California Cabs or even their spicier Pinot Noirs and my tastes are tainted. However, I have also had really good, mellow Pinot Noir’s from Oregon and France and enjoyed them. I’d say that might be what you get for $9, but I can find solid wines between the $9 – $15 range. This just didn’t do it for me. I blame COVID19 and the fact that I’m listening to Dolly Parton’s Jolene. That bat-originated, evil, spiky-haired mass of crap and that auburn-haired, man-stealin’ hussy. Now I’m just in a bad mood. There’s your dang picture below. I’d better go find a better wine.
