Cabernet Franc. . .I bang the drum for Chinon wines from time to time. Not enough of them available in my area though.

year in and year out, Produttori Barbaresco is the best value Nebbiolo wine out there. Of course I liked it more when it was priced in the mid-$20s. . .

People love those Jumilla monastrells, though I’m not a big fan. Where I live Juan Gil is just about the hottest thing going.

I’m going to go against the crowd and say that even though Nebbiolo is great and that I love Produttori, it is much too young to be drinking now. It is going to take a few years for this wine to achieve some balance.

Alfonso, Andrew – Viva the Produttori! I like the Langhe neb too.

Hi Jeff – Malbec is v popular; yes, I poured the Yellow + Blue malbec and the Clos Siguier (Cahors) side by side. The students also brought in three from Arg (don’t recall which) for their presentations.

Tyler,

We met once when you were visiting Bodega Catena Zapata in Mendoza.

Just curious – any Malbecs in the class line up?

I’ve had a lot of luck with the wines of Produttori Barbaresco. Even their Langhe Nebbiolo is an outstanding wine.

I found the same thing happened with me at two wine dinners last week, with the 2005 Produttori Barbaresco. Drinking lovely now
