Infinity: the unlimited extent of time, space, or quantity or the limit of the value of a function or variable when it tends to become numerically larger than any preassigned finite number. In this case, the preassigned finite number was twelve, but it seems to be an infinite occurrence of a wine experiment. However, we are coming to a close with this experiment. I am going to review the last two wines of the Twelve Nights of Wine now and then will, in a final summary, present a chart of findings and details associated with each wine. Vial #11 was a 2015 Nebbiolo wine from the Piedmont region in Italy. It had an essence of mineral and some smoke, but was relatively mild overall – pretty good. Vial #12 was from the same winery and Italian region, but was a 2013 Olo. It was earthier, a bit bolder and was not fruit forward at all. I enjoyed this wine, but letting it breathe is really important with this wine.
This Twelve Nights of Wine review is like Game of Thrones in that it has taken far too long to get this last season finished. That’s about the only similarity really…I don’t speak with an accent, I don’t own or manage a dragon nor have ever seen one, I don’t think I’ve pissed off enough people for them to massacre my whole wedding party and guests if I ever get married, and I know winter is coming and I’m ok with it.
