This Saturday, we will be opening these wines for our weekly FREE tasting:
Tenuta Ca’ Bolani Pinot Grigio, Friuli, 2024 ($15.95) - With its cooler climate, Friuli is one of the northern districts of Italy that makes the best Pinot Grigios. Owned by the Zonin family, the beautiful Ca’ Bolani estate is one the largest in Northern Italy. With attention to detail, this ‘boutique giant’ cultivates 90 diverse sub-plots. The wine shows notes of crunchy green pear, peach, candied lemon zest, and stony mineral in a bright and juicy version. It’s a well-balanced crowd-pleaser. Best serve around 50°.
Comando G “La Bruja,” Cebreros-Spain, 2023 ($44.99) - How can you not be love a winery called Comando G? It sounds like an action movie! It comes from the Sierra de Gredos mountains, a short distance from Madrid, where once obscure, nearly abandoned, vines of Garnacha (Grenache) have been rediscovered. Rather than an explosive and expansive character, they produce wines of thrilling weightlessness and energy. Friends since childhood, Dani Landi and Fernando (Fer) Garcia returned home to the Sierra de Gredos after completing their educations in enology and make wines from 50-80 year-old vines that are farmed biodynamically and are in conversion to organic with vines ranging from 50 to 80 years old. Wine Advocate (Luis Gutiérrez): 95!
