[wine] Mebiolo at I Nonni

Greetings, We're taking Chris up on one of his suggestions. Barolo/Barberesco/Nebiolo at I Nonni. Buon Giorno Italia I Nonni Ostera Enoteca Buon Giorno 981 Sibley Hwy (13) 651 905 1081 Lilydale 55118 Cheers, Jim 6. If you wanted to make me venture out to try something new, we could revisit Barolo and Barbaresco. I wouldn't mind learning more about Niebolo. I still feel a little uncomfortable buying these. That is to say, without knowing what I should expect from the bottle. ----- Forwarded message from Chris <c2708(a)yahoo.com> ----- From: Chris <c2708(a)yahoo.com> Subject: Re: Wine(a)thebarn.com, address To: "Jim L.

These ideas are largely driven by what I have in my cellar at home. 1. I have a vertical of Chablis that I wouldn't mind tasting and discussing through. 2. I have a horizontal of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and several variations of that regional horizontal theme. 3. A series of 1997 or older California Cab. (I don't think we've done anything like that in a while.) 4. The bottle of Pinot I had last night helped keep the flame alive. Lately, I had splurged on several $100 plus bottles and had TERRIBLE disappointments. You know I am no novice, but by the bottles you would've thought I had no idea what I was doing. So, Pinot is (like this week) always an option. 5. Cote-Roti and/or Cote-Roti look-a-like Syrahs. I have a few we all might be itnerested in tasting. No crap Syrah/Shiraz though, put a price floor on that one perhaps? 6. If you wanted to make me venture out to try something new, we could revisit Barolo and Barbaresco.

Excellent (again mabye a floor) California/Burgundy Chardonnay. (I know what you're thinking...excellent California Chard? Chris...) I believe that I have a few that would be a good and tasty. 8. If we wanted a two fer, we could organize a sparkler party on Sunday morning. I've got a couple that might be fun. What do you think? Chris --- "Jim L.
