Wine in the Time of Coronavirus, Part 25: Like Handmade Pasta (Sensi Recent Releases)

Posted on February 11, 2021February 1, 2021 by 1WineDude

“We do our wine like handmade pasta.” And in that little offhand quip, Massimo Sensi – part of the 4th generation behind Sensi wines, in operation since 1895 – pretty much summed up everything you need to know about his family’s perennially crowd-pleasing wine operation.

Posted on February 8, 2021January 25, 2021 by 1WineDude

2018 Vietti Cascinetta (Moscato d’Asti): Delightfully floral, and, well, just downright delightful, actually. $18 B+ 2019 La Gioiosa et Amorosa Prosecco Millesimato Rose (Veneto): A promising, elegant, refreshing, amiable start to the Prosecco bubbly rose journey ahead. $15 B+ 2015 Villa Trasqua Fanatico (Chianti Classico Riserva): Aptly named; this combo of spices, earth, dried orange…

Sebastiani Cabernet lineup 2

Wine in the Time of Coronavirus, Part 24: Life’s a Bowl of Cherryblock (Sebastiani Cabernet Recent Releases)

Posted on February 4, 2021February 1, 2021 by 1WineDude

Out of the many (many) virtual media/samples tastings I’ve taken part in remotely due to Covid-19 SiP, this one was near the top of my list as potentially most intriguing. That’s because this one was focused specifically on Sebastiani’s high-end Cabernet Sauvignon lineup (as guided by winemakers Sarah Quider and Mark Beaman), including the iconic…
