Kicking it off: Nipozzano Reserve 2018, Chianti Rufina. A really nice variation on a classic Chianti, light and fruit forward but with a surprising amount of tannins - pretty heavily oaked, relative to a Chianti Classico anyway, it was no Knights Valley cab. Exceptionally balanced and highly recommended.

    Very new to wine and as an exercise I’ve stuck to almost exclusively French wines the last 5 months. I love everything Burgundy, and especially Beaujolais.

    Tried the Fleurie from Clos de la Roilette last night and it’s amazing! Got it for about $45 CDN. Really intense aromatics and with a delicate body. Can’t wait to explore more.
