I know it’s been awhile, but in response to John, try Vina Tondonia from spain for nutty oxidized whites & roses! Also, check out yellow wines from the Jura (region) in France!

[...] 30 miles north of Rome, the Coenobium wines are produced on site at Monastero Suore Cistercensi. There the nuns of Cistercensi tend the grapes [...]

I love this wine. Can anyone recommend wines with a similar oxidative flavor profile? I’m so sick of tart, crisp, refreshing whites. Thanks.

I bought a bottle of this last night from Red and White Wine in Chicago and can’t wait to drink it tonight!

I feel like this has been the wine everyone has been talking about all year. I was so excited that when we stopped for a sandwich while following the cyclists during the Tour of California and I discovered that the store stocked it, I bought the rest of their stock.

It was also my favorite of my Giro wines.

Fun stuff.

Howard Goldberg quipped on Twitter:

“Actually it’s easy to pronounce once you get into the habit.”
